Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: How Should Christians Think About Israel

Israel and the Jewish people always seem to be in the headlines. Terrorism. War. Antisemitism on university campuses and around the globe. Jews are the topics of conversation in podcasts, on school campuses, and in our homes. Yet Christians are wondering about the modern State of Israel and contemporary Jewish people. Are they related to the biblical kingdom of Israel and the ancient Jewish people of the Scriptures? Others question whether Jewish people are only God’s people of yesterday, or do they have an ongoing place in God’s plan? How does the Church relate to the Jewish people, and why should Christians care about the Jewish people and their homeland? Join us as Dr. Michael Rydelnik answers these questions and more as we consider the Biblical position on modern-day Israel.

Hour 1: Watchers On The Wall

Today’s church is dealing with challenges that prior generations could never dream of. One of the biggest is the area of gender confusion. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke to a woman who shared her own journey with someone who struggled with gender issues in her family. She explained the important issues related this this topic that believers need to be aware of and the heartbreaking stories of people who now live with the consequences and regret of having surgery to alter their bodies from the appearance of their God-given sex at birth. We also know that the Bible is the inspired word of God but how many of us have ever thought of the amazing journey from the days of the testaments to the book you can buy in almost any bookstore in the nation. Our guest took us on a journey in our radio time machine to share the amazing story of the best-selling book in human history. Along the way he told us how the New Testament writings were collected and copied, the differences and similarities between the Christian bible and the Jewish holy books and differences between the bible translations. They are not cute little cherubs with wings but powerful being who serve an infinitely more powerful God. Our guest took us behind the supernatural veil that separates this world from the next to give us a better understanding of God’s holy messengers, the angels. She explained the different types of angels that we see in scripture, their many appearances throughout the bible and she gave us a unique acronym to remember the many roles that these heralds of God perform. Roe V. Wade may be a thing of the past, but abortion and all of its tendril complications are far from over. Our guest addressed the FDA’s recent approval of a generic abortion drug and the implications of that decision in the fight to save the pre-born. We also gave you the opportunity to hear some amazing stories of God at work through the life, talent and service of the man who leads worship in Washington D.C. As we close out another week our favorite husband and wife duo continue to teach us how to be watchers on the wall for our families, our churches and our communities through the active implementation of God’s truth against the confusing and misleading ideas that populate the news each week.

Hour 2: Looking Well To Your Household

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we took a look at what experts are describing as a rapid cultural shift in America’s thinking about sin. Our guest shared the results of a comprehensive study that shows people today have grown lax on what is and is not considered sinful in today’s world, Our guest took us back to scripture to remind us that the only way to combat this modern thinking is by staying grounded in God’s unchanging truth. Then we turned our eyes to the life and death situations facing believers in places like Nigeria, Malaysia, China and India as the persecuted church around the globe continues to boldly proclaim God’s truth despite the dangers they are facing.  Israel continues to be a topic of conversation, controversy and scrutiny today. We turned to our highly respected expert on the nation, its history and its prophetic future to discuss the latest controversy surrounding how the Jewish people are being viewed through the media, what is behind the increase of antisemitism in America and around the world and what believers can do to stand up and with God’s chosen people. Can we really trust what the bible says about the resurrection of Jesus Christ? For believers the answer is a foregone conclusion but for skeptics that may be a much harder pill to swallow. That’s why we spent time with an accomplished attorney who turned his truth-finding training toward the examination of the lives of the men who knew Jesus and how their testimony and lives provide clear, undeniable proof of his resurrection and divinity. How do you lovingly engage people who angrily claim that abortion is just a medical procedure, without consequence and that it is the mother’s choice because it is her body? Our guest gave us practical insight and guidance on the complex issues surrounding abortion and how to address with truth and love to the hearts and minds of those who have been deceived by these prevalent lies. Our need to observe and understand the times we are living in through the clear and focused lens of scripture continues to grow. That is why Janet and Craig continue to extend their open invitation to join them for a practical, biblical and enlightening discussion of some of the biggest headlines of the week as measured against God’s straight stick of truth.

Hour 1: Life and Liberty

This hour, we discuss the FDA’s recent approval of a generic medication used to cause abortions. Was this medically prudent? Does this medication require better oversight?

He has some wonderful stories to share, so don’t miss the conversation.

Hour 2: Ethics and Good Medicine

In the ferocious debate swirling around the issue of abortion, we often hear the clarion cry – “My body, my choice”, but is that really true? Today, we speak to Dr. Calum Miller, who is an ethicist and a philosopher who cares passionately about the issue of pre-born life. Join us as he teaches us how to enter into the debate with the winsome truth of biology and the compelling grace-filled way in which we can convey hope to a woman who struggles in this area.

Hour 1: Angels

The Bible speaks of angels often. They were present in the Garden of Eden, and throughout the story of the Bible, they appear to people with messages, encouragement, and tangible help. Angels ministered to Jesus after His temptation and before His crucifixion, and they shared the good news of His resurrection. Despite their frequent appearance in God’s Word, our impression of angels is more often shaped by the myths and misconceptions that have developed over the centuries. Join Melissa Spoelstra as she traverses the terrain of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation to learn about angels—who they are, what they do, and what they have to do with you

Hour 2: The Resurrected Jesus

David Limbaugh, best-selling author, will join us to dig into the New Testament epistles with passion and imagination, showing that the testimony of Jesus’ earliest followers provides irrefutable proof of His resurrection. Inspired by God and penned by the apostles, the epistles were written to the first Christians to proclaim the divinity of Christ and to encourage them to persevere through persecution, famine, sickness, and doubt. On a lawyerly quest for truth, David looks behind these biblical texts, exploring the lives of their authors, who included some of those closest to the Lord—His most intimate friends, Peter and John, and His own kinsmen James and Jude. The result is an unforgettable encounter with Jesus.

Hour 1: The Book That Conquered Time

Everyone is familiar with the Bible—after all, it’s still the best-selling book in the world. But just exactly how did we get the collection of sixty-six books that make up God’s Word? Join us today as we discover the differences and similarities between the Jewish holy books and the Christian Bible. Learn how the New Testament writings were copied and collected, including the apocryphal gospels and letters, and the purposes of modern Bible translations and the differences between them.

Hour 2: How Should Christians Think About Israel

Israel and the Jewish people always seem to be in the headlines. Terrorism. War. Antisemitism on university campuses and around the globe. Jews are the topics of conversation in podcasts, on school campuses, and in our homes. Yet Christians are wondering about the modern State of Israel and contemporary Jewish people.

Hour 1: Understanding Gender Confusion

Sometimes people think that if they pray or wish hard enough, their transgender tendencies will just disappear. This is an unrealistic expectation. It is not reasonable to expect an overnight change in the area of gender or sexual confusion. The problem takes years to develop. The restoration likewise takes a lengthy healing and restorative process-and some very hard work-which typically involves years of serious commitment. Denise Shick will join us to offer a faith-based perspective on this issue.

Hour 2: News and Views

This hour, we visit with Dr. Adam Rasmussen of the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University on rapid cultural shifts in the U.S. that are reshaping the nation’s moral framework. We then talk with Todd Nettleton, from The Voice of the Martyrs, on how we can pray for those Christians who live in countries where being a Christian could cost them their life. Get ready to lengthen your prayer list.

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: The War For Middle Earth

In a world devastated by the cataclysm of war, two extraordinary authors and friends, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, delivered a bracing vision of the human story: a path back to goodness, beauty, and faith. How did they do it? For the first time, historian Joseph Loconte explains how the catastrophe of World War II trans­formed the lives and literary imagination of Tolkien and Lewis. The mechanized slaughter of the First World War had created a storm of disillusionment with the political and religious ideals of Western civilization. The new ideologies of Modernism, communism, Nazism, and totalitarianism rushed to fill the vacuum. At stake was a contest between civilization and barbarism. Tolkien and Lewis sought each other out in friendship and threw themselves into the struggle.
