This past June, Catholic Archbishop Edward Weisenburger of Detroit attended the grand opening of a mosque and the new headquarters of the Islamic Institute of America. Not only did he praise the building, but he also said that Muslims and Catholics worship the same God. He said he felt a "divine presence" as soon as he arrived at the mosque. He also offered a prayer that this Islamic Center will bring all of humanity "into a deeper communion with our one god." He said "We are members of the same human family. All churches, all mosques, all synagogues, all places where God reaches out and touches with his finger are sacred." Also this past June in Milan, Italy, a Catholic parish set aside space for young Muslims to engage in Islamic prayers during their summer program. One priest defended this by saying that Christians and Muslims "pray to the same God. A priest there said, "I imagine the prayer could conclude with the Islamic formula Bismillah, which invokes the name of God, the compassionate and merciful." He said, "It is always better to help young people to pray: we pray to the same God, certainly within different religious traditions. And recognizing the other's identity is in the spirit of the Gospel." It's been reported that a Muslim prayer room has been set up in the heart of the Vatican City's 500-year-old library. Islamic scholars visiting the Vatican Apostolic Library had requested a room with "a carpet to pray on" and staff heeded their request. Join us as we discuss the question, "Will Islam & Catholicism Unite Toward a Global Religion?" Our guest is Mike Gendron of ProclaimingtheGospel.org.

Without question, AI has been developing at lightning speed. AI leaders have warned of safety dangers and are advocating for guardrails. President Trump has said those warnings are a "sick conspiracy" and is opposed to the guardrails as he sees the United States being at risk due to China's advancement. Meanwhile, there are concerns over the dangerous advancement of AI. There are concerns that AI will be used to design new viruses. Humans are having romantic relationships and conversations with AI. AI is producing explicit sexual materials even of minor children. Just two weeks ago, a federal appeals judge in Wisconsin ruled the 1st Amendment protects a person's right to privately possess child sexual abuse material created using AI as long as it does not depict a real person and stays at home. In California, a father indicates AI turned itself into a confidant for his 16-year old son, and then became a suicide coach. In another case, a young teenager used ChatGPT for Murder Fantasies before taking the life of his mother and his brother. Criminals are using AI to advance their fraud. Keep in mind the Apostle Paul warned Timothy about the perilous times in the last days and warned in II Timothy 3:13, "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. With President Trump believing that AI must keep moving forward and some AI experts calling for guardrails to be set up, who's right? What does AI itself say about its own consequences? What is the ultimate end of AI? Is this all about immortality and mankind taking the place of God? What do we know about the romantic relationships some people are having with AI?

Within dispensationalism, there are standard hermeneutical principles that on the surface sound reasonable. But when taken to their logical conclusions, many of these principles actually stand in the way of understanding the mind of God and often introduce significant error. We firmly believe that the heresy caused by dispensational hermeneutics is part of Satan's attack on the church and is used to veil the truth of God's word. We believe that its true intent is to focus the people of God on fleshly pursuits rather than seeing and fearing the invisible God who works all things to his will.Please join us as we discuss this serious issue.

He is the speaker on the weekly TV program, Prophecy Focus and the radio broadcast, Prophecy Unfolding. He spent 32 years in law enforcement. He's authored several books including: Globalism: The Great World Consumption and Artificial Intelligence: Transhumanism & the De-Evolution of Democracy. The rapid advancement of AI has been staggering and is proving itself to be dangerous. Human data centers are being replaced by robots. Humans are even having romantic relationships and conversations with AI. AI is producing explicit sexual materials even of minor children. A young teenager used ChatGPT for murder fantasies before taking the life of his mother and his brother. Criminals are using AI to advance their fraud. It's reported that Chinese companies are stealing AI Tech on an "Industrial Scale." AI has been discovered going rogue...even causing its own attacks on other systems. It's as if it's thinking for itself. Researchers are now saying that AI has more than a 10% chance of killing all humans. One such researcher indicated it could kill everyone by the end of the decade. Where is this all headed? Does the cry from scientists and the media that "The sky is falling!" with respect to AI comport with Scripture? Find out on part-one of this critical Crosstalk discussion.

(AI Generated Summary) The sermon interprets Luke 21:25-26 as a prophetic description of the Day of the Lord, an eschatological event where God shakes the celestial powers to demonstrate His supremacy over all false gods and earthly authorities. By analyzing Old Testament imagery, the text reveals that these cosmic signs symbolize the destruction of idolatry and the outpouring of divine wrath upon rebellious humanity. The preacher contrasts the terror felt by those who trust in worldly power with the hope experienced by believers whose sins are washed in Christ's blood. This ultimate judgment serves as a call to live lives of holiness and godliness, recognizing the temporary nature of the current creation. The message urges listeners to prioritize their eternal relationship with Jesus over earthly pursuits, anticipating His return with eager faith.

(1) Israel Watch 9/13/26: The Iran war is at a stand still while Iran continues to "negotiate" as though it is in a position to do so and continues to abuse and murder it's own citizens. We discuss the absurdity of rebuilding Gaza and accusations that Jews were never in Judea before 1948. (2) 9-11: America Forgot. We show the actual history of lies and denial to cover for Islam beginning on 9-12-01 by George W. Bush up to our present day. We show the "Palestinians" behind 9-11. (3) Democrat Senate Candidate Talarico: He hates Christianity, is a member of a "church" filled with atheists and agnostics which is pastored by a Sodomite lesbian and espouses "christian universalism"... just like progressives including George W. Bush. (4) A few things "on a lighter note"... The world right now, two kinds of churches and "Where's Waldo: Jehovah's Witnesses Edition". https://bbfohio.com

When unexpected death occurs, it forces believers to confront the brevity of life and look to Scripture for a biblical response to tragedy. Rather than assuming sudden loss is a result of greater sin, Christians must use these moments to reflect on our need for Christ and trust entirely in the sovereignty of God. Finding comfort in grief involves mourning with those who hurt, avoiding cold cliches, and walking alongside them with genuine love. Ultimately, there is no wasted sorrow in the Christian life, as God uses even the deepest pain to conform His people to the image of His Son.

Today marks the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, the day in which 19 individuals, each following the ideology of Islam, brought terrorism to the United States of America. 2,977 lives were taken. People were going about their day--getting up, going to work, involved in meetings--when terror struck. First it was American Airlines Flight 11 that hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center. 17 minutes later American Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower. These were airliners fully fueled. Then American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. We aired the testimony on Crosstalk of Lieutenant Colonel Brian Birdwell who spoke at a VCY Rally. He was the only survivor of the Pentagon's E-Ring between corridors 4 and 5 which was directly in the path of Flight 77. Another airliner, United Airlines Flight 93, was also overpowered by Islamic terrorists. It was believed that the intended target was the White House. Aboard that flight was a man by the name of Todd Beamer. Todd used the Airfone to make a call. The person taking that call was Lisa Jefferson. 20 years ago on Crosstalk, nearing the 5th anniversary of 9/11, Jim interviewed Lisa, who went from being GTE Airfone supervisor, suburban wife and mother to being the listening ear to a nation shattered by tragedy. She tells the gripping account of 9/11 from her vantage point, recalling the moment when she took the call from Todd Beamer aboard United Airlines Flight 93 and when she heard the immortal words, "Let's Roll." We've gone back into the archives and have pulled out excerpts from that Crosstalk program, which was originally broadcast on August 14, 2006.

In My Seat: 9/11 Revisited - The 25th Anniversary. We are joined by Steve Scheibner (Retired Pilot; Pastor; Veteran). Topics discussed include: The Ordinary Day That Wasn't. 25 Years Later – A Family's Perspective. What America has Learned…and Forgot. Moving Forward – With Purpose.

For those of you who remember September 11th, 2001, where were you and what were you doing when you learned of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon? While many were in complete disbelief, one individual was experiencing the horror of that day in the most intense way possible. On that day, Lt. Col. Brian Birdwell was at the Pentagon working at his desk, when American Airlines Flight 77 collided into the building just a few feet away from his 2nd story office. Burns consumed 2/3 of his body, and most of those were 3rd degree burns. After 92 days in the hospital and more than 39 surgeries, Lt. Col. Birdwell was on his way to a Christ glorifying recovery that he describes on this program, originating with his appearance at a VCY America Rally in March of 2005. He explains how God spared his life and prepared him and his wife for a new direction in ministry.

Paul Dragu is senior editor at The New American. He's an award winning reporter and host of The New American Daily. He is writer of Defector: A True Story of Tyranny, Liberty and Purpose. Increasing pressure is coming from the United Nations on countries around the world. They are fully vested in seeing Agenda 2030 fulfill its intended goals. It's they who want control and are targeting national sovereignty. It's they who want to call the shots on food, healthcare, gender equality, energy, housing, education and the list goes on. Of recent, the UN's Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination published a document calling for immediate "financial compensation, educational initiatives and institutional reforms to remedy what they refer to as the harms that persist today as a result of the transatlantic slave trade." Additionally, the UN is demanding immediate action be taken by the nations of the world as it pertains to so-called climate change. If the U.N. is "designed to be the nervous center of a world government" we shouldn't be surprised at Paul's conclusion, that the U.N. wants a complete overhaul of society. This includes micromanaging us, which involves cooperation between corporations and government as well as cooperation between individual governments. More Information: thenewamerican.com

(1) Israel Watch 9/9/26: The U.K. (England) continues it's anti-Israel policies joining other countries in banning imports from the West Bank of Judea and Samaria.

Regathered, Reviled, & The Returning King: Israel in the Prophetic Spotlight. We are joined by Chris Katulka (The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry). Topics discussed include: Upcoming Elections and Mood Within Israel. The Prophesied Ingathering. UK Policy & Cultural Activism. Rosh Hashanah & The Return of Christ.

The sermon outlines six stages of moral reversal leading to the end times, beginning with the serpent's strategy in Genesis 3 to question and contradict God's word. It argues that modern culture progressively renames evil as good, exchanges divine truth for lies, approves sin, intensifies deception through technology, believes falsehoods, and ultimately ignores God. The speaker connects these spiritual trends to current geopolitical events, such as conflicts in the Middle East and natural disasters, interpreting them as signs of biblical prophecy. Despite the surrounding darkness and societal decay, believers are called to maintain discernment and hold fast to Scripture. The central message urges Christians to remain blameless and shine as lights by holding forth the word of life rather than succumbing to cultural relativism.

This sermon draws from Zechariah 1:7 to encourage believers to remain persistent in their service despite feelings of futility or opposition. The speaker highlights that God uses historical details, such as the date and political subjection under Darius, to remind His people that He remains sovereign over all earthly powers. By noting that Babylon has fallen while Persia rules, the message underscores that no government holds ultimate authority apart from divine permission. The central theme is that faithful labor in ministry is never in vain because God controls history and current events. Believers are urged to trust in God's unchanging power rather than discouraging circumstances.

Imagine being 13 years old and told by a court that you cannot go to church, you cannot associate with your Christian friends, you cannot celebrate Christmas or Easter, and you cannot even read the Bible! If you think this is about Communist China today or perhaps even North Korea, think again. Join Jim Schneider and Mat Staver as they examine the details concerning a case (Bickford v. Bradeen) related to a girl named Ava in the state of Maine. Ava loves going to church. She misses her friends. She wants to worship with her mother. She wants to hear the Word of God, but the Supreme Judicial Court in Maine has told her NO. Commenting on this case Mat said, "In my 39 years of practicing law, I have never seen anything like this case." As a result, he will be taking this case to the United States Supreme Court.
 Other legal issues were discussed and listeners brought their thoughts to the discussion as well. More Information: LC.org

Strategy or Lack of Strategy? The U.S. Foreign Policy Question. We are joined by JR McGee (CEO X-Stream Leadership Group). Topics discussed include: The Bigger Policy Question. The Iran Policy Question. The Oil Policy Question. The Prophetical Conclusion.

The sermon establishes a theological foundation for studying biblical prophecy by asserting that God alone is deity, proven by His ability to declare the end from the beginning. It distinguishes between the prophetic program for Israel and the current mystery of the Church Age, emphasizing that believers must not conflate these two distinct groups. The speaker argues that trust in Scripture outweighs personal experience or emotion because God's word has historically remained faithful to its predictions. By examining Isaiah 46, the text highlights that false gods cannot foretell future events, whereas the true God orchestrates history according to His counsel. Ultimately, the central focus of all prophecy is identified as Jesus Christ, who is announced, rejected, returning, and reigning.

(1) Israel Watch 9/6/26: We renew "tit-for-tat" between the U.S. and Iran. And we discuss the propaganda war with another fake news story about Israel closing Christian schools, which they did not. (2) Feminist Founder Has Died: Gloria Steinem. We provide a little history (from a left wing media perspective) compared with Scripture AND the fact that Gloria was a C.I.A. asset. We discuss Harry Truman's intentions for the C.I.A., when he founded it and his Washington Post article one month after the assassination of JFK. (3) Apostasy Update: Drag "preachers" in the United Methodist churches preaches the "Gospel of Stardust" similar to that preached by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. (4) Vice President J.D. Vance makes clear that he is not a born again believer in the Gospel. (5) On A Lighter Note: VP Vance sadly also follows the culture feminization of the English language pronouncing "and" as "an-T" with a hard T instead of a hard D. https://bbfohio.com

What do Christians believe about the end times? As we begin Matthew 24 and the Olivet Discourse, Pastor Casey Lewis introduces the doctrine of eschatology and explains why Christians should study what Scripture teaches about the return of Christ. In this message, Pastor Casey surveys the major Christian end-times positions, including historic premillennialism, dispensational premillennialism, postmillennialism, amillennialism, and preterism. He also discusses how Christians should approach disagreements over eschatology with humility and charity, dangers such as date-setting and interpreting every news event as biblical prophecy, and why he currently holds to an amillennial view. Above all, the doctrine of the end times should lead Christians not merely to debate, but to remain faithful, active, and ready for the return of Jesus Christ.
