Worldview Weekend

Mike Gendron joins Brannon today as they play clips of Gendron on a Catholic Radio program as well as audio clips of Catholic apologists trying to refute the Biblical truth presented by Gendron. This is a very informative program on how to lovingly and accurate contend for the faith with those that distort Scripture. This again proves the great need for Christians to know the Word of God so they can recognize when it is being taken out of context by members of the Church of Rome or members of numerous cults that are also skilled and twisting scripture or teaching it out of context.

Lyndon Unger joins Brannon to discuss his latest article on how the word fire is used out of context by much of evangelicalism. Have you ever heard someone talk about getting on fire for God or praying for God to send a reviving fire? Nowhere in the Scripture is fire ever used in the manner. In fact if someone prays for God to send them fire they are really praying for God to send His judgment. Today Lyndon reveals how the word fire is used in four different ways but not one is to describe a reviving fire. This program is a great example of why good hermeneutics (proper study of The Bible) is so needed. Topic: Lyndon tell us about false teacher Joseph Prince that is gaining in popularity in America and around the world. Topic: We take your calls and questions.

This program will encourage you and reveal that the church of God is alive and well. There are young people that are interested in Biblical truth and that are growing in their Biblical knowledge. God always has a remnant and leaders of His church are coming forth in a new generation. In this program, Brannon interviews Matt Ledbetter, a thirty-three year old police detective , husband, and father on the following topics: Topic: Matt explains how he has learned to study the Bible in the last two and half years and how exegesis versus eisegesis has made all the difference in his spiritual growth , Biblical understanding, and love for Bible study. Topic: Why do so many young people in their twenties and thirties not know how to study the Bible? Topic: Making disciples for many young people simply means getting someone to pray the sinners prayer. What is neglected is stressing Biblical repentance and teaching true converts how to study the Bible so they might be equipped in Biblical truth. People that don’t know how to study the Bible cannot teach others to study the Bible. What are the dangerous consequences of this wrong view on making disciples? Topic: Why do so many young people see social justice as the calling of the church? Topic: How did the peers of Matt respond when he taught a class exposing the unbiblical teaching of Rick Warren and his model for the New Testament church? Topic: How is Matt now impact the life of others with the Biblical truth he has gained and is gaining as he continues to study, learn and rightfully divide the Word of Truth?

A recent article on a Christian website reported that many young evangelicals are admitting that they no longer see church as a relevant part of their lives. Brannon gives 7 reasons why he believes this is the case and 6 of the reasons are not the fault of today’s evangelicals but the so-called churches that are really not New Testament churches. Topic: Our phone lines light up when we ask the listeners why they think so many young evangelicals no longer see the church as a relevant part of their lives.

Dr. John Whitcomb joins Brannon for this episode of Ask Dr. John. Question: Some people say that the Bible is full of teaching on a flat earth. Does the Bible teach a flat earth or a spherical earth? Question: We know God’s voice through Scripture, and the more we are in Scripture the more familiar we become with His voice. When we receive the leading of the Holy Spirit we know it is from God because we recognize His voice from Scripture. Why then do you say that God does not speak today? Question: What is the gift of prophecy in I Corinthians 14? Is it just interpreting Scripture and proclaiming the truth of it to the church or is it something else? Question: I am wondering about the DNA of Jesus. I know that God used Mary's DNA, but since she would not have had a Y chromosome God would have had to provide additional DNA since Jesus was a man. Is there any chance that God could have refashioned Mary's DNA so that the DNA of Jesus was the same DNA as Adam had (1 Cor. 15:45)? Question: According to 1 Tim. 3:2, 12 and Tit. 1:6, a man who is selected to be a bishop or a deacon must be “the husband of one wife.” Does that mean that a man who is divorced and remarried, even if divorced on Biblical grounds, cannot serve in these offices in the church? Question: If all of a Christian’s sins are forgiven – past, present and future – why does 1 John 1:9 tell us to confess our sins? If these sins do not affect us positionally with God, how do they affect our relationship with Him? Question: I have a friend who has been deceived by the Word of Faith movement. One of her favorite passages is I John 4:17. She believes this passage is saying that believers can do anything Jesus did. I have explained that if you take this approach, you are saying you are God, because Jesus is God. Could you please exegete this passage and give me some more information to help my friend? Question: Is it murder to deprive a terminally ill person of food and water until he dies if the person has requested "death with dignity"? Question: What theologians have had the greatest impact on your life and ministry? Topic: We take your calls.

All humans are created in the image of God but this does not in any way give credibility or credence to the sinful behavior of humans. Topic: Daly is quoted in TIME magazine as throwing out the tired cliché that God loves the sinner but hates the sin. Is this a true statement? Brannon explains why this tired cliché is true and false depending on how you define the word love. Topic: Rev. Samuel Rodriquez is quoted by TIME Magazine as saying that the church of Jesus Christ and the word hatred should not even appear in the same sentence. Brannon reads numerous Bible verses that speak of God’s hatred toward workers of iniquity. Brannon explains how God can hate the lost and unrepentant sinner and how they are under God’s wrath while also being recipients of His mercy for a season. However, that mercy or concern should not be confused with the kind of love that God has for His own children. Topic: We take your calls.
