We have a special treat for you on this Christmas Day!!!  Recently Stu was asked to speak in a sunday school class in his home church.  So… Stu took the opportunity to bring his “handy-dandy microphone” to the class and interacted with his audience.

Michael Lovic (left with Stu) was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer.  He lost 60 pounds during his battle and his surgery but never his smile…or his faith.

Today we’ll hear his story and also meet the Sunday school teacher who walked with him every step of the way.

Some words of hope, encouragement and inspiration for you on today’s edition of Truthtalk Live.

We remember Michael as he has gone on to be with the Lord.  Please pray for his family.

What can be done?  And who should be doing it?

Prayer…or Porn?  I’m Offended!

By Stuart Epperson, Jr.

If you’re offended by prayer at a county commissioners’ meeting, you’re in luck!  A multi-million dollar, pro-bono, tax-exempt, legal powerhouse known as the ACLU will fight for you!
If you’re offended by porn in a text book or at a public art gallery, tough luck!  The ACLU will defend the porn. Why do they want to censor prayer but not porn?

Why would the ACLU, which, by the way, stands for the American Civil Liberties Union, be advocating censorship and intolerance at all?

And now they have sued you and me, the citizens of Forsyth County. The ACLU wants to censor the speech of a Muslim cleric, a Hindu priest, a Jewish rabbi, or a Methodist minister.

Some of these prayers may even offend me! But does the constitution give me a right ‘not’ to be offended? Of course not!   Is not this pluralism of expression and tolerance what makes America great?
Even the United States Congress has opened with these offensive ‘sectarian’ prayers for over 140 years.  And how many converts or government sponsored churches have resulted? The answer: zero.

Unless our elected officials stand up to this bully, the ACLU will have its way. Yes to porn and NO to prayer!

Beaufort Bailey, Walter Marshall and Ted Kaplan — three of your elected officials — have been against appealing the case on “political” grounds.

Friends, this is not about politics. It’s not about Republican or Democrat, right or left.  It’s about “right or wrong”! It’s about free speech versus censorship.

Commissioners, please stand with us.  The voters and the taxpayers of Forsyth County in protecting the right to freedom of expression. Freedom is always worth the price it takes to defend it!

It cost our founders a lot more than a few taxpayer dollars; many lost their very lives. Let’s send the ACLU bullies home so they can go back to defending porn and stop destroying prayer!

Let us All Pray!

There are many reasons for leaving a church as there are people who leave churches  in our contemporary evangelical culture.

The music was too contemporary…the music was too traditional…the building was too cold…there was never a good place to park…there were just old people there…the people weren’t friendly…the people were too in-your-face…all they talked about was money…the lines were too long for the doughnuts and lattes..the tread mills in their praisenasium were always broken…the sermons were too long…

Is there EVER a GOOD reason to leave a church?

How about…..They didn’t preach the gospel…They didn’t hold the Bible up as the Word of God… Where would you draw the line?

Today guest host is Pastor David McGee of Calvary Chapel of the Triad and Cross the Bridge Ministries.

They are scattered around the globe, serving our country…deployed or waiting to be deployed to places like Iraq and Afghanistan.  They are lonely, far from home and facing more uncertainties in a day than most of us ever do. Do you think they might need God’s word?

Faith Comes by Hearing Ministries has been distributing audio bibles for many years, and just recently they launched a new idea to reach our troops with the word of God. Its the Military Biblestick, an MP3 player about the size of a pack of gum, pre-loaded with  a dramatized audio New Testament.  Almost 40 thousand of these devices have been distributed, but there is a long waiting list.

Today on Truthtalk Live, guest host Steve Noble welcomes John Wilkie and Brad Fisk to talk about this exciting Military Biblestick project….and the best news is you can help.

Your gift of 25 dollars underwrites the cost of one of these Military Biblesticks…perhaps you can fund an entire squad of 12 soldiers over this next year at $25 a month…or a company of 100 soldiers for $2,500.

Do you think that if you were to be convicted of a sex offence, that you should expect anyone from your Church to ever come and visit you. How about your Pastor? Do you feel at least your Pastor would come and visit you if you really messed up and got caught selling adolescent pornography? How about your Old youth Pastor? Would your Old youth Pastor ever write you a letter you if you were sentenced to 5 years for selling cocaine. How about your small group? Would your small group come to your sentencing hearing if you were caught embezzling from your company?

Does your Church visit its members who have fallen and have gone to prison or has your church turned its back on your members who have been incarcerated? Do you know if anyone is visiting, writing, encouraging?

Matthew 25 (New King James Version)
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

You may say,”my church has a jail and prison ministry, we are there every week reaching the lost”. Is that what Jesus is referring to in this passage; reaching the lost?

What did Jesus mean by, “inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.”?

Is it old fashioned for a young man to ask the father for permission to marry his daughter?

Or should the standard be even higher?

So call in today; and Brag on How God Ignited You and What keeps you burning?

If God does not exist then morality is merely a fairy tale on the level of Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. If God does not exist then there is nothing inherently wrong with abortion, homosexuality, racism, greed, theft, slavery, pedophilia, rape, murder or even genocide.

For too long we have been trying to suppress cultural symptoms without addressing the real cause–our culture’s view of God.

Read Stu’s Article:

Prayer…or Porn?  I’m Offended!

By Stuart Epperson, Jr.

If you’re offended by prayer at a county commissioners’ meeting, you’re in luck!  A multi-million dollar, pro-bono, tax-exempt, legal powerhouse known as the ACLU will fight for you!

If you’re offended by porn in a text book or at a public art gallery, tough luck!  The ACLU will defend the porn. Why do they want to censor prayer but not porn?  

Why would the ACLU, which, by the way, stands for the American Civil Liberties Union, be advocating censorship and intolerance at all?

And now they have sued you and me, the citizens of Forsyth County. The ACLU wants to censor the speech of a Muslim cleric, a Hindu priest, a Jewish rabbi, or a Methodist minister.   

Some of these prayers may even offend me! But does the constitution give me a right ‘not’ to be offended? Of course not!   Is not this pluralism of expression and tolerance what makes America great?

Even the United States Congress has opened with these offensive ’sectarian’ prayers for over 140 years.  And how many converts or government sponsored churches have resulted? The answer: zero.

Unless our elected officials stand up to this bully, the ACLU will have its way. Yes to porn and NO to prayer!

Beaufort Bailey, Walter Marshall and Ted Kaplan — three of your elected officials — have been against appealing the case on “political” grounds.

Friends, this is not about politics. It’s not about Republican or Democrat, right or left.  It’s about “right or wrong”! It’s about free speech versus censorship.

Commissioners, please stand with us.  The voters and the taxpayers of Forsyth County in protecting the right to freedom of expression. Freedom is always worth the price it takes to defend it!

It cost our founders a lot more than a few taxpayer dollars; many lost their very lives. Let’s send the ACLU bullies home so they can go back to defending porn and stop destroying prayer!

Let us All Pray!
