Pastor John Anderson returns to Reality In Christ Worship Radio to give part 2 of a very dynamic message. John Anderson was called to be a pastor a long, long time ago! He answered that call and began active ministry in 1979. He has pioneered five churches and written three books (so far), and still, after 35 years of ministry, he believes that loving Jesus and loving people is the only thing worth doing. John's life has been centered around the Word of God, and developing a relationship with Jesus. This has not always been easy, but it is, and always be totally worth it! You can find more of his teachings at www.preciousflock.com

Our guest today is Doug Merkey from Churches For Life.  Churches For Life has been involved with supporting the message of life affirmation in churches all across America.  The need for such an organization such as CFL is by itself rather controversial.  Some churches are vocally pro-life; some are positionally neutral, and yet some openly approve of abortion on demand.  Doug will be on with us to share about the challenges facing CFL and his strategies to advance a life affirming viewpoint among churches today.  One of CFL's mottos is "A life-affirming world resulting from a life-affirming Church."  

The world on a Daily basis denies the free gift on Salvation. There are many reasons why. The mean reason is that the world doesn't fully understand the level of dedication and sacrafice that Jesus made when He went to Calvary. We have allowed ourselves to be divided by crazy doctrines, external and internal hatred, etc. So join me every Sunday & Wednesday for "Reality In Christ; Worship & Word"   Learn of the RIchness of God's love that He has shown to us through His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:8 God commended His Love towards us; in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Today, we maintain that if you knew the truth about Black History in America, you would be pro-life! Elaine Riddick will be joining us again to share recent developments at The Rebecca Project for Justice.  Elaine has been hard at work securing justice for those injured by Depo-Provera injections.  Plus, we will find out how far the pro-abortion forces are willing to go to undermine life-affirming efforts by pro-life people of conscience.  Elaine gives us an inside story you won't want to miss. About Elaine: Elaine Riddick is the Executive Director at the Rebecca Project for Justice. Ms. Riddick is a dedicated Women’s Rights activist who as a Depo Provera and contraceptive expert became the Victims Coordinator for Attorney Willie Gary’s Depo Provera class action lawsuit.

Please join us for this enlightening discussion and feel free to join our chat room and to call into the show with your questions for Dr. Corduan.

Pastor Shantae A. Charles, a native of Miami, Florida re-dedicated her life to the Lord in February 1996. She began ministry in 1996, accepted her call to Prophetic Evangelism, and was thrust supernaturally into open-air preaching on the campus of Florida State University while a student there. In May of 1998, Shantae delivered her first official sermon at age of 20 and was officially recognized as a minister in the International Church of God in Christ. In 2004, Shantae was ordained as an Evangelist Missionary by the International Church of God In Christ under the leadership of Superintendent Gerald Mandrell and Co-Pastor Judy Mandrell at Life Changers Church of God In Christ.

Are you buying Girl Scout cookies this year?  As we have shared before, the Girl Scouts USA organization is not your grandmother's Girl Scouts organization.  Join us as we interview Jane Petry, Lifetime Member of the Girl Scouts, update us about the latest developments in the growing rejection of the Girl Scouts and why.  From #cookiecott twitter campaigns to active public notices on associations with Planned Parenthood and pro-abortion entities, there is a small but growing revolt against an iconic program for girls in the United States. Also, we are pleased to bring you the story of Kimberly Dixson-Scott.  Six years ago, she and her son were featured on CBS' 20/20 in a story about her rape, conception, and the life of her son Mika.  Mika, an extraordinary boy, is an entrepreneur, an inventor, and a hero.  Listen as Kimberly tells their truly amazing story of triumphing over adverse circumstances.  

Join Devin & Melissa Pellew as they discuss topics related to biblical theology, Christian apologetics and worldview issues. Today, we are re-airing a previous broadcast on a discussion on The Doctrine of the Trinity. What is The Trinity? How do we defend this essential doctrine against groups such as the Jehovah's Witnesses? Did Jesus really claim to be God? On the air with us to discuss this topic will be Christian apologist and author, Rob Bowman, Director of Research with the Institute for Religious Research. Rob holds an M.A in Biblical Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary, completed his doctoral studies at Westminister Theological Seminary and is currently pursuing the completion of his doctoral dissertation at the South African Theological Seminary.

Is abortion really a decision that concerns only a woman and her doctor?  After interviewing a number of post-abortive mothers and learning about the reality of most women's post-abortion experiences, we now turn to a story of a post-abortive father in a series of future interviews with post-abortive fathers.  Bruce Rivers, a pastor at Greater Exodus Baptist Church in California, will be on to share his personal journey through abortion and self-reflection.  He presents a side of the abortion equation that is denied to exist and silenced on politically correct grounds. Plus, you may soon contribute financially to abortion through your health insurance. How has Congress and the White House confirmed this rumor?  Also, how the lawyer for Andrew Welden should have argued his case from Roe v. Wade--but we're glad he didn't. And, don't miss a bunch of other headlines we'll throw out there, plus the Hypocritical Headline of the day.

In her meteoric rise to political stardom, Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis is experiencing a bit of a meltdown as she contends with contradictions to her life story, contradictions that she admits is the real truth about her history.  Is this cog in the Leftist Trojan Horse about to break in their 10-year plan to turn Texas more liberal and more approving of abortion?   Plus, we'll talk about a Nigerian woman who has expertly dealt a slap heard 'round the world on Melinda Gates.  When should women reject $4.6 billion to Africa from a philanthropist ?  When it isn't particularly philanthropic.  Listen as we discuss how population controllers want to make First World "problems" into Third World problems. We also welcome Angela Grogg back to PLFR.  In the wake of her daughter's rape and birth of a grandson, Angela discovered that no laws or very few laws exist to protect children born from rape and their mothers across the 50 states.  Angela has worked with Missouri state legislators to pass a law that nullifies

This is what you might face if you stand outside an abortion facility to try to persuade people from aborting their children:  irate, guilt-ridden, and emotional men who attack you for not letting them practice avoiding the issue.  That is what happened to two Abolish Human Abortion demonstrators in Norman, OK a few weeks ago.  Video taken caught a man and a woman exiting an abortion facility who were then engaged in conversation by Toby Harmon and Jeremy Brown from AHA.  The encounter soon turned hostile, as the man (as yet unnamed) became physically violent, assaulting the two others and breaking one of their cameras.  Today, we will be talking with Toby and Jeremy about the incident and how the Norman Police Department are (or are not) handling their case.  

Join Devin & Melissa Pellew as they discuss topics related to biblical theology, Christian apologetics and worldview issues. This week, we will examine the popular movement, The Word of Faith Movement. What is Word of Faith theology? What are its origins? Who are its proponents? Is it biblical? On the air with us to discuss this topic will be Christian thinker and apologist, Frank Turk. Frank is a conference speaker on a variety of topics dealing with theology, evangelism, biblical worldview and issues concerning the local church. He is best known for his contributions to Christian blogging as a contributor Firstthings and the "Pryomaniacs" blog founded by Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace to You.

Note:  Phone lines are not open today. The word "pro-life" has come to be synonymous with the issue of abortion.  While "pro-life" certainly encompasses the issue of abortion, a pro-life issue is any that deals with the the devaluation of life in some way as to deprive someone of life, regardless of age.  Today, we will deal with a present situation involving the hospitalization and consequent tragedy of 13 year-old Jahi McMath, a young girl who has been declared brain dead by hospital doctors.  However, she survives on life support, and her family is fighting to keep her on life support and transported to an alternate care facility while the hospital and even a judge has ordered the removal of all life-sustaining medical care. Walter Hoye, from Issues4Life Foundation, will be our guest today to discuss how the Jahi McMath case provides the pro-life community with the opportunity to communicate the overall pro-life viewpoint.  Rev. Hoye has been in contact with the McMath family and will share with us their

Join Devin & Melissa Pellew as they discuss topics related to biblical theology, Christian apologetics and worldview issues. This week, we will rebroadcast a show originally recorded August 23, 2012, which included a discussion on the Attributes of God. We discussed how we can come to determine some of the attributes of God just by observing His creation and why it is important to study these attributes. During the second hour, we had apologist and coference speaker, Prem Isaac, Philosophy graduate of Southern Evangelical Seminary, on with us to dive deep into a few of God's attributes- namely Pure Actuality and Immutability. What does it mean to say that God is a purely actual Being with no potential? If God doesn't change, how do we reconcile this with verses in Scripture that state that God changed His mind or that He repented that He made man? We will explore these and other questions so you don't want to miss this interesting and informative discussion on the Attributes of God as we dig deep together
