Once the lamb was selected, then the lamb was scrutinized, and finally the lamb was slain. And it had to be slain at a very special time.And so it was with God's lamb, the Lord Jesus. He came, He was scrutinized, and then as He stood in the shadow of the cross He said, "Which of you convinces me of sin?" In other words, have I passed the test? Is there any sin in me? And did you know He was the perfect Lamb? Nobody else could ever ask a question like that, but Jesus could because He was the God-man, perfect.

Sometimes we do things that are unconventional in the talk show world and that's okay because we are distinctively Christian. We seek to glorify God, to honor His Word, to see lost souls come to Christ, to edify believers, to be both salt and light, and to be the watchman who will issue a warning when trouble is seen. What you choose to do with the information then becomes your responsibility.We see a nation in crisis. We have just come off a very contentious election with candidates representing polar opposites. We presently have multiple wildfires in California causing so much loss and devastation. At least 5 lives have been lost and tens of thousands are fleeing their homes. Many are praying for both containment and for rain.Earlier today was the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, the nation's 39th President. Last night as President-elect Trump was set to visit the Capitol, the Daily Wire reports that U.S. Capitol Police arrested a man near the Grant Memorial who claimed to have napalm in his car. Napalm is a highly flammable substance. According to one source, he apparently was trying to light it on fire.There have been assassination attempts and great hostility. Grooming is going on of our nation's children both in schools and various media platforms. Our nation appears to be confused as to the definition of terms that we've known since the beginning of time such as "marriage," "male" and "female."Anti-Semitism has been spreading on university campuses with a growing anti-Israel sentiment. Listen to hear callers from around the nation share a Scripture verse for America and a couple sentences as to why they feel it is needed for today.

The transition to President Donald Trump is underway and today we'll give you a glimpse into some of the matters going on.Yesterday on Crosstalk we took you back to the U.S. Capitol concerning the election of Mike Johnson as speaker of the House. You heard his acceptance speech and map going forward. We then catapulted to Monday, January 6th to the Certification Vote of the Electors which passed without incident.The House then went to work yesterday on passing the Lakin Riley Act which would deport illegal aliens who commit violent crimes against American citizens. Amazingly 159 Democrats in the House voted against this.Also yesterday, President Trump addressed the nation by holding his first press conference since being certified. Today, we're going to share this press conference. Time will not permit us to carry all the Q&A, but it will give you a glimpse of where he's headed and what's going on behind the scenes. Listen to the program and you can hear firsthand what unfolded

We'll share about some current events and the continued efforts to subvert or tarnish Donald Trump as he enters the Presidency.

It was the first 'News Round-Up' of the year and it was jam-packed with news items. Here's a sample from those that Jim selected for broadcast:--Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has officially been re-elected.--The FBI said at a press conference yesterday that there are no additional suspects in the Islamic terrorist attack at the New Orleans French Quarter. --Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser leveled a series of broadsides at Mayor LaToya Cantrell's administration a day after the deadly attack in New Orleans, injecting a sharp, political tone into the governmental response to the New Year's Day tragedy. --Investigators are pouring over hundreds of hours of surveillance footage to learn what led up to the deadly New Orleans attack. President Biden and the first lady will head to New Orleans on Monday to meet with the family and community members that have been impacted by this event.--On December 20th, the Brooklyn Friday sermon by Imam Hassan Akbar indicated that Islam will enter every single home on the face of the planet. Jim provided audio.--Allstate CEO Tom Wilson ignited a firestorm after the company released a video statement ahead of the postponed Sugar Bowl saying, "Our prayers went to victims and their families. We also need to be strong together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust and accept people's imperfections and differences. Together we win."

Usama Dakdok is the founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He is the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. Born and raised in Egypt, Usama learned about Islam just as every other student does in a Muslim country. He also studied for a university degree in Egypt which included the study of Sharia, which is Islamic law. He first came to America in 1992. With his knowledge of Islam he founded The Straight Way of Grace Ministry. Usama speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur'an into English. He's the author of Exposing the Truth about the Qur'an and Exposing the Truth About Jihad and the booklets, The Violent Truth about Islam and The Straight Way to Eternal Life. For many years Usama has traveled the country to equip the church to minister to Muslims and to warn Americans about the deceptive methods being used that lead many into the cult of Islam.On Monday's Crosstalk, Jim interviewed Frank Gaffney, founder of the Center for Security Policy. While discussing national security threats against the U.S., Jim referenced an article from Newsmax that came out this past Sunday. In the article, terrorists were calling for New Year's Eve attacks to take place on a global scale. Jim emphasized that this didn't mean they would happen but that there was a call for such activity to happen.Then early on New Year's Day, terrorism struck New Orleans. A man drove a truck into a large crowd. 15 people are said to have been killed with many others injured. The alleged suspect is Shamsud-Din Jabbar.Interestingly, the mayor of New Orleans called this a terrorist attack, yet the FBI initially said it's not.

The global community, and not just many in America, were stunned after the definitive win by Donald Trump in the recent election. This has resulted in a lot of scrambling going on with world leaders lining up to get face-time with the President-elect.While there will be many changes nationally with the turn-over in the White House, can we say that the globalist agenda will be put on hold just because Trump will be leading America for the next four years? Returning to Crosstalk to bring his unique insight into this was Gary Kah. Gary is the founder and director of Hope for the World.Certainly the re-election of Donald Trump was not on the wish list of globalists. Gary described Trump as a "disruptor to the new world order." He views Trump as a nationalist who seeks to maintain U.S. sovereignty and that's not part of the globalist plan at all. They want to strengthen the United Nations and turn it into a type of global government while diminishing U.S. sovereignty or have it taken away altogether. Gary doesn't see the globalists 'playing dead.' He already sees them doing damage control and they can do that when you consider that over 93% of residents living in Washington, DC, voted for the Harris/Walz ultra-left ticket. Included in that are a lot of federal workers including the CIA, FBI, the Justice Department and the military industrial complex, as well as a growing segment of the Department of Defense. There's also the Federal Reserve and the big bank allies. While not everyone within these groups agree, Gary believes many of them want to see the U.S. come under the authority of the U.N.
