Upon taking a group of young Christian men on a hike up to the top of Grandfather Mountain, NC, we stumbled across the remains of a 1978 plane crash. It was an exciting find for the boys but then some quite overtook some of them as they realized someone probably perished in the very spot they were standing on. We ran across a park Ranger who explained that the pilot made some errors which led to his demise as he had perished upon crash landing. Todays' episode is a response that I have prepared for the boys in response to this experience. The point is not one of adventure and excitement, but one of LESSONS LEARNED from the Grandfather Mountain plane crash of 1978. This episode relates to the world which our youth is growing up in today and I just released a new video called "The New American Christianity".

What starts in America often spreads to the rest of the world-especially when it comes to Christian trends and practices. Something has happened in America that has never happened before: the biblical Standard laid you in Scripture as found in the Bible is not considered to be an unmovable Standard. This is a problem and host, author and scholar Steven Garofalo will address what is coming to be known as "America's New Christianity". You DON'T want to miss this!

Is the Lord returning any minute now? Is the Lord returning next year or in a 100 years? Does it matter? Yes, it matters because it effects the way that Christians live their lives, how they carry out their mission the Lord has called them too, and how they live their daily lives. It's not a matter of IF but WHEN the Lord returns. What doesn't matter is for us to know WHEN the Lord actually returns. By getting carried away emotionally by way of pastors and preachers preaching loudly that the Lord is returning is found void in most cases regarding HOW Christians are to live their lives. The fact of the matter is that Christians have ALWAYS been called to live their lives as if the Lord is returning today. If things all of a sudden got better politically and economically, preachers would preaching God's GRACE has abounded. What they wouldn't say is that Christians should STILL be living their live as if the Lord is returning...today. This is called CHRISTIAN APATHY.

A Russian military saved the world by disregarding a massive ICBM nuclear attack from the United States and was hailed a hero. In the Bible we find a similar story. In Ecclesiastes we find a small city was under siege from a great nation but was saved by one single, wise man. A man who was filled with God's wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man. In America and in nations around the world, we tend to have short memories as to trials allowed by God. There is a lot more to this story than seen at first glance, Steven Garofalo will provide a simple overview in light of impacting the story on a much deeper Scriptural level.

We hear a lot about God's mercy, patients and forgiveness in today's world but often don't hear about consequences of non-repentant sin. God has a sin-quota regarding just how much He will tolerate before He brings judgement upon an individual, group of individuals or bodies of leadership. The Bible speaks about God's limit regarding unrepentant sin and we can read from His Word in both Old and New Testaments about that limit.
