Tune in now to find out…  Offer: Magnesium is integral for 600+ biochemical processes in the human body. The common misconception is that consuming more magnesium will automatically improve health and well-being. The truth is that there are various forms of magnesium, each of which is essential for a variety of physiological processes. Most people are inadequate in all forms of magnesium, while even those considered "healthy" typically only ingest 1 or 2 kinds. Consuming all 7 of magnesium's primary forms is the key to accessing all its health benefits.That's why we packed 7 forms of 450mg of elemental magnesium into each serving of  Wild Mag Complex.

Abortion is one of the most divisive issues in the United States and the most powerful advocate for abortion is Planned Parenthood. Abby Johnson went from being a clinic director for Planned Parenthood to an outspoken leader of the Pro-Life movement after her life was changed while witnessing the horror of abortion take place on an ultrasound as she watched the unborn child fight—and lose—the battle for life. Her life's mission is now to fight—and win—the battle for life. Topics discussed include: Abby Johnson discusses her organization And Then There Were None—a nonprofit organization that exists to help abortion clinic workers leave the abortion industry (3:45); how powerful is Planned Parenthood? (4:50); how did Abby Johnson begin her career with Planned Parenthood? (6:30); what caused Abby Johnson to leave Planned Parenthood even after winning the employee of the year award? (8:15); how watching an abortion procedure on an ultrasound exposed the evil of abortion to Abby Johnson (11:05); Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood and the connection between abortion and racism (14:15); Hank Hanegraaff discusses being brought to tears while watching Abby Johnson's movie Unplanned—especially the scene depicting The Pieces of Children Room in a Planned Parenthood clinic (18:40); And Then There Where None and the work they are doing to guide workers out of the abortion industry (22:30); Abby Johnson discusses her own two abortions, the thousands of abortions that she assisted in and the redeeming grace and forgiveness found in Jesus Christ (23:15); is Roe v. Wade reversible? (24:50); why ultrasounds are so important to exposing the truth about abortion (27:20); the fallacy of a woman's right to choose (28:20).

Should Christians be involved in politics? Christians in America have the historically unique power to enact laws that advance the common good and must take this special obligation seriously by using good judgement while voting and supporting legislation and political candidates. We might not always agree on the policies and candidates that are the best option to advance the common good, but there is no doubt that Christians have a biblical mandate to advance it. Frank Beckwith joins Hank Hanegraaff to discuss the way systems of government work and how public policies become the social and legal fabric of our country—shaping the quality of our national character. If “statecraft is soulcraft,” then Christians cannot remain silent at the ballot box. The soul of our nation is at stake.

Beckwith. https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-cri2010wa/Topics discussed include: Statecraft as Soulcraft—is politics essentially about making people good citizens?

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (10/21/20), Hank talks more about the book Politics for Christians: Statecraft as Soulcraft by Francis J. Beckwith.https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-cri2010wa/ This book will go a long way to helping Christians understand what is essential to know about government and its laws, as well as natural moral laws and natural rights. Looking at the title, one may wonder “how is statecraft soulcraft?” By statecraft, the Greek philosopher Aristotle meant that the state by policy and moral ideology shapes the quality of a citizen's character. This is central to a Christian understanding of politics. Liberal democracy assumes natural rights, and because natural rights require natural moral law, liberal democracy assumes a natural moral law—rights that the state is obligated to honor. The American Founders believed that this objective natural moral law, the foundation of natural rights, is best accounted for by the existence of God and can be known apart from Scripture.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (10/20/20), Hank invites listeners to imagine for a moment an empire that is invincible in power and majesty. Ruler over the rest of the nations of the world, but not just for a few hundred years, but for the better part of a millennium. For six hundred years the city of Rome towered above the nations. The invincibility of this empire was so certain that she actually bore a moniker—eternal. And then something unthinkable happened; Alaric and his Arian hordes breached the walls and sacked the immortal city. Pagan Romans looked on in utter disbelief as statues of ancient deities were pulled down. And then Christians began to wonder if indeed the end of the world was now at hand. When the Barbarians destroyed the Roman Empire in the West, it was the Christian Church that put together a new order called Europe. It was the Church that took the lead in rule by law, the pursuit of knowledge, and the expression of culture. And that is precisely what needs to happen in the modern epoch. For more information, please see Politics for Christians: Statecraft as Soulcraft https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-cri2010wa/Hank also answers the following questions:Why does the doctrine of “once saved, always saved” get a bad rap?How was the Bible we have today assembled?Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (10/16/20), Hank talks about what he saw last night during a town hall meeting with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. During the town hall meeting, Biden overtly stated that he had absolutely no compunction about a young child transitioning from one gender to another. It is simply unconscionable that an 8-year-old child should be burdened with the power to decide to become transgender in the face of well-established science showing that the vast majority of children suffering from gender dysphoria quite naturally grow out of that confusion. Moreover, the damage done to a young body during such a transition attempt is irreversible. Government leaders, in concert with media icons, now create, manipulate, and disseminate ideological constructs that are driving the whole of civilization in a very dangerous direction. We may rightly thank God that we as yet live within the confines of a liberal democracy that affords us the power to hold governmental personalities accountable. A liberal democracy that allows her citizens to participate by voting.

If statecraft is indeed soulcraft, Christians can't remain silent at the ballot box. The soul of our country is at stake. Hank also answers the following questions: I heard you say that when Christ comes again a second time He will come to get his saints, go over the River Jordan, and go into Jerusalem. Is this literal? Do we have any signs to watch for before Christ comes?In 1 Corinthians 7:14, it says that unbelieving spouses are saved through the faith of their believing spouse, but how could that be true if faith in Christ is an individual decision?Are women saved through bearing children as stated in 1 Timothy 2:15?I was taught that one received the Holy Spirit only by speaking in tongues. Is that true?
