Andy Ferrier is a Representative of the Midwest Messianic Center. Andy is burdened with reaching Jewish people with the good news that Jesus (Yeshua) is the Jewish Messiah.An anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment is exploding on university campuses across the country especially in the bluest of cities. There are those calling for another "October 7th" on every day of the year. There are those calling for the Intifada, which is wiping Israel off the face of the earth. University campuses have been the breeding grounds for anti-Jewish hatred.Just earlier today, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement condemning the anti-Semitic protests saying it was reminiscent of 1930's Germany.This hatred of Jewish people is growing during this week of Passover. Not only is there trouble at home, but Hezbollah attacked Israel during the Passover holiday. This program discusses the antisemitism taking place, and gives information and understanding about Passover itself.

In Genesis 1-28 it says, -And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it- and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.- We see Adam and Eve having Abel, then Cain, and then Seth. In Genesis 5-4 we read that Adam and Eve begat sons and daughters. This carried on person after person. You can read the genealogy in Genesis 5.--However, there is a growing problem. It's not that we have too great a population, but rather that worldwide fertility is declining. It's being reported that every industrialized nation today has fertility rates under replacement levels. Our guest today has indicated that we are heading for a demographic train wreck, which he is terming a -demographic winter.- Demographers and governments know about it, but no one can figure out what to do about it.

Robert J. Morgan is the Leader of Robert J. Morgan Ministries, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to energize God's people with a greater understanding and appreciation of the Bible and Christian heritage. He served in pastoral ministry for over 40 years.Do you struggle in your faith as you observe a world that is falling apart? Each day do you wake up wondering what is going to happen next and will you be able to survive? We observe a political system that has run amok with more of our freedoms being taken while "the system" gains control. There is unrest in the world and we wonder when or where the next military action will take place. We see problems in our healthcare system with escalating rates, longer wait times and denial of care. Our education system is doing more brainwashing than educating. Uprisings are taking place on university campuses. Inflation is off the charts and we wonder what the next grocery item will be that we can no longer afford. There is a growing animosity toward Christianity and a greater intolerance of Christian values and beliefs. Are these things rocking your boat?The early Christian church in Philippi was distressed over the terrible things that had happened to the apostle Paul such as his imprisonment in Caesarea, his shipwreck on Malta, and his looming trial in Rome. Would Paul ever see freedom again? And yet while Paul was imprisoned, the church provided him with both personal support and financial support. Paul being filled with gratitude sent an inspiring letter which we know as the book of Philippians. It's a book that helps us stay strong in our faith as the world falls apart.

Shahram Hadian is a former Muslim from Iran who came to the states in 1978 and committed his life to Jesus Christ. He has served as a pastor, a police officer, and a former candidate for Governor in Washington State.--Some people today are conflicted when it comes to the issue of what authority we must give our allegiance-submission to in various situations. Some believe we must obey the government no matter what, while others take exception to that position.--So what does the Bible say-- Romans 13-1-7 lays out what our responsibility is to be to the governing authorities. However, Shahram believes there are some who have misused this passage to justify false obedience to the government, especially if the government is in violation of God's Word.--The foundation for his reasoning comes from his explanation of Romans 13-1. He noted that modern translations use the phrase, -governing authorities- while the King James Version says, -Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.- He explained that the phrase, -higher powers- comes from an original Greek term -hyperecho- that refers to the highest authority. From this he contends that since government isn't the highest authority, that portion of the text must be referring to God.--Shahram then moved on to explain what he referred to as the four rulers or magistrates and the program wrapped up with input from listeners nationwide.

Our present society has been compared to a Romans 1 society. Jim read verses 18-28 and if you do the same, you'll see how this parallels America today. It's especially pertinent as we see the LGBTQ- movement proliferating among us. Is this rebellion against God's design for mankind actually a judgment from God----To help answer that question and update listeners on how this movement continues to affect Christians, Crosstalk welcomed the return of Peter LaBarbera. Peter is founder and president of Americans for Truth. He's a former reporter for the Washington Times and LifeSiteNews.com and a former contributing editor for Human Events.--Here's the list of stories that Jim had Peter comment on during the first quarter hour of the broadcast---Males who are gender confused are no longer allowed to compete in women's NAIA sports competition. The vote was 20-0 and impacts about 83,000 athletes in universities around the U.S.--Idaho had placed a ban on so-called gender affirming care for adolescents. A lawsuit was filed against this. The court placed a hold on the ban and yesterday the Supreme Court lifted the ban while the case is pending.--The Kansas legislature passed the -Forbidding Abusive Child Transitions Act- that would protect minors from the harmful effects of the transitioning procedure. Governor Laura Kelly vetoed this legislation but the senate has the ability to override the veto.--Pro-lifers in Michigan have condemned Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer for signing into law a pro-LGBT bill that allows women to be compensated for renting their wombs to people who are looking to obtain a child through surrogacy.
