OTM2010_01_30B - Eric Barger - When is it Time to Leave a Church

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 10:00:00 -0600

Hour Two: Eric Barger and Jan tackle the question, when is it time to leave a church? Both ministries are deluged with church-related questions stating church-related dilemmas. There are some basic issues that serve as a guideline for leaving, unless one is persuaded to stay and try to make changes. The likelihood of that is small. So how to exit gracefully and in a Godly manner, without being divisive but telling the truth? Not an easy assignment and millions are departing unsound churches today, all throughout the Western world. Find Barger's DVDs on the Emergent Church and "The Shack" here. Also, his 8-page pamphlet on the "Twilight" craze. www.ericbarger.com (duration 00:55:01)

OTM2010_01_23B - Pastor Larry DeBruyn - Stay out of The Shack

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 10:00:00 -0600

Hour Two: Pastor Larry DeBruyn has written a new book, "UNSHACKLED: Breaking Away from Seductive Spirituality." We revisit the book "The Shack", on the top or near the top of almost all best-seller lists. Why has this book almost become the 67th book of the Bible? What is it's draw? Why is it not in the realm of Christian orthodoxy? Because it reinvents Christianity and the Trinity. Hear sound bytes of Dr. Albert Mohler and Dr. Michael Youssef. One can only conclude that emotions trump doctrine. Is it ok to feel "spiritually healed" as a result of a book that is clearly heretical? We carry DeBruyn's new book here as well as Eric Barger's DVD warning against the book at that same link. www.guardinghisflock.com (duration 00:54:54)

OTM2010_01_23A - Gary Kah - Is There a Shadow Government

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 09:00:00 -0600

Hour One: Gary Kah returns along with Andre Van Heerden, producer of the new film, "Shadow Government: How the Global Elite Plan to Destroy Democracy and Your Freedom." We are now victims of a surveillance society. This is not far-out conspiracy talk--it is life in the 21st century. It is reality. Who is behind this? How are they gathering data and for what purposes? Is there anything to fear? Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves? That answer to the latter is "no." How should Christians react since we are the most mistrusted? These questions and much more are tackled. This DVD is must-viewing. Find it here. Kah was one of our "Understanding the Times 2009" speakers and will be our guest at UTT 2010. www.cloudtenpictures.com -- www.garykah.org (duration 00:54:51)

Hour Two: Repeat from October 31, 2009. (Jan lost her voice after hour 1!) Pastor Bob DeWaay returns to talk about an Emergent conference he attended. He describes total spiritual darkness. Why do people rush to the defense of Rob Bell, Brian McLaren, Doug Pagitt and others, when they incriminate themselves with their own words? Why do once-solid evangelicals flee to jump on board this heretical movement? Find DeWaay's book on the Emergent Church here. -- www.cicministry.org (duration 00:54:47)

Hour Two: Dr. Jerry Bergman is the author of the book, "Slaughter of the Dissidents: The Shocking Truth About Killing the Careers of Darwin Doubters." Himself a victim of discrimination, he talks about the scandals and schemes to marginalize and even silence any who suggest there might be intelligent design and the career destruction of creationists. Darwin rules the roost in all of academia and it is anything but a proven science. Jan closes with a commentary on Brit Hume being thrown to the lions. www.slaughterofthedissidents.com (duration 00:54:53)

Hour One: Dr. Michael Coffman has spent years studying the supposed global warming cycle. He explains the e-mails uncovered last November, explains why Copenhagen was a disaster, why it will resurface, and why global warming is just horrible science. The real agenda is global government.

Hour One: Jill Martin Rische is the daughter of Dr. Walter Martin. She and Jan talk about her book, "The Kingdom of the Occult." This is not a dark topic as Jill reminds us that we have victory over the wiles of the devil.

OTM2009_12_26B - Eric Barger - Repeat: From Rock to the Solid Rock

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 10:00:00 -0600

Hour Two: Repeat from July 18, 2009. Eric Barger returns to remind listeners that no one is too lost to come to faith in Jesus Christ. In his youth Barger lived only for drugs, rock music, and a depraved lifestyle. Finally his wife had to pray, "Lord, save Eric.....whatever it takes." It took a lot but the end result is uplifting and encouraging and particularly if you are discouraged about the lost condition of a loved one. We carry Eric's DVD on the Emergent Church and another on "The Shack" here. -- www.ericbarger.com (duration 00:53:42)

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 09:00:00 -0600

Hour One: Repeat from October 17, 2009. Dr. Mark Hitchcock returns to "Understanding the Times" to discuss the "2012 phenomenon." December 21, 2012 is likely not the end of planet earth but what do we tell people who have questions about this? How do we respond to those who have seen the film? Just who were the Mayans and did they really have the ability to see into the future? What does the Bible say about the very end? What it says doesn't match up with the Mayans but we need to equip ourselves to deal with this issue, nonetheless. We carry Hitchcock's books "Cashless" and "2012, the Bible, and the End of the World" here. -- www.marklhitchcock.com (duration 00:54:47)

OTM2009_12_19A - John McTernan - Christians as the Threat to World Peace

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 09:00:00 -0600

Hour One: John McTernan reports on a position paper written by an Army Major who calls Pre-Millennial Dispensationalists the biggest threat to world peace as they "take the Bible literally." They also "sway foreign policy in Israel's favor," "mistrust Russia," "hate the U.N." and "believe the antichrist will rise out of the U.N." The insults go on for 70 pages and are covered as much as time allows. Christians with this kind of eschatology seem to be the new Jews of Europe. This was written under the Bush administration in May of 2008. It is shocking and does not portend good things to come. You can read all of it here. -- www.johnmcternansinsights.blogspot.com (duration 00:54:50)

OTM2009_12_12B - Marcia Montenegro - Meditation Madness

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 10:00:00 -0600

Hour Two: Former New Ager Marcia Montenegro returns to talk about her incredible journey from darkness to light. She and Jan join also focus in on today's rage for meditation. Is all of it safe? Hardly. Other than proper biblical meditation, all others draw from the East and particularly from Hinduism and Zen Buddhism. So what are the dangers? Why do some forms of it lead to altered states of consciousness? Marica practiced all of these and much more and reminds listeners that not meditation is equal. We carry a product to help explain that, The New Face of Mystical Spirituality by Ran Yungen found here. -- www.christiananswersforthenewage.org (duration 00:54:56)

OTM2009_12_12A - Steve Wohlberg - The Darkness of Twilight

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 09:00:00 -0600

Hour One: Steve Wohlberg and Jan sound a warning against another pop culture fad -- the Twilight phenomenon. Christians again are buying into the rage which targets teen-age girls. Christianity Today magazine promotes a discussion group/Bible study around the books and films. But bad entertainment choices have consequences and some of those consequences are eternal. This is an occult-laced book and film series surrounding the occult vampire craze. After all, the star is a "good vampire" and not a part of the evil ones. But the messages the books/movies send to young people could be just the first step into what could be a lifetime practicing forbidden things found in the Bible. We carry Wohlberg's pamphlet to hand out warning against this movement here. -- www.avoidtwilight.com (duration 00:54:50)

OTM2009_12_05B - Dr. Jerome Corsi - Why Israel Can't Wait

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 10:00:00 -0600

Hour Two: Dr. Jerome Corsi has been banned from representing World Net Daily at the forthcoming Copenhagen convention. Jerry explains this ordeal and then Jan and Corsi discuss his book: Why Israel Can't Wait: The Coming War Between Israel and Iran. The consequences of this would be earth-shaking. Will the U.S. be an ally of Israel? Don't count on it. Iran is dead serious about wiping out Israel to bring in the 12th Imam. Corsi met with most high-ranking Israeli officials for content in his book. Find it at www.wnd.com. (duration 00:54:50)

OTM2009_12_05A - Dr. Gary Cass - Christian Bashing

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 09:00:00 -0600

Hour One: Dr. Gary Cass returns to talk about the war against God in America. How can a hard-core homosexual be appointed as "safe school czar"--Kevin Jennings? How are Christians much more in danger due to the passing of recent "hate crime" bills which were a payback to homosexual activists. The possibility for further marginalization of Christians in 2010 are chilling. What's with home-schooled children being ordered to enroll in public school? Is a New Hampshire case going to become trend-setting? Learn this and much more, including a most-recent update on Rifqa Bary. Bary is being kept from any outside contact in Ohio due to a verdict of an Ohio judge and Governor.

Hour Two: Repeat from June 6, 2009. Brannon Howse and Jan talk about the six worldviews running the world. All but Biblical Christianity are destructive and deceptive. How have they worked their way into America and the entire world? The point is made that worldviews matter and have consequences. To understand America's spiritual battle for survival, we must understand the destructive worldviews working in the background and foreground. www.worldviewweekend.com (duration 00:55:12)

Hour One: Repeat from January 24, 2009. Jim Tetlow joins Jan to discuss his newest film, "God of Wonders." This is a breathtaking tour of God's creation wonders, visible and invisible, and the greatest wonder of all - His redeeming love. We highly recommend this DVD!

admin@olivetreeviews.org (Olive Tree Ministries) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0600

Hour Two: Gary Kah returns asking, "Is the bubble about to burst?" He means is the American bubble about the run into so much financial trouble in the next year that the current state of affairs in America looks quite benign? Who is really pulling the strings? What about the "death of the dollar"? Now that the FDIC is broke, what happens if there is a bank holiday and our money is all devalued with a new currency? These are not conspiratorial questions. Gary talks about issues, including Copenhagen, that are front-burner, not back-burner things to discuss.
