Father’s Day Tribute 2024

Date: June 13, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider MP3 | Order

Today’s society tends to make a mockery of the role of fathers, making them look like buffoons as we often see on TV sitcoms.  The Bible, however, takes a different view.  It instructs fathers in the following way:

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.–Proverbs 22:6

Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: And the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; So are children of the youth.  Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.–Psalm 127:3-5

Hearken unto they father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.–Proverbs 23:22

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.–Proverbs 23:24

The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.–Proverbs 20:7

This broadcast reflected the truth of these verses as listeners shared special words of tribute for their fathers.

COVID shots, Avian Flu shots, and the Lust for Control

Date: June 12, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet MP3 | Order

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet is president and CEO of Truth for Health Foundation. Since February 2020, she’s been part of the team of frontline physicians treating COVID early at home.  With Dr. Peter McCullough, she is a co-author/editor of the Guide to COVID Early Treatment: Options to Stay Out of Hospital and Save Your Life.  She is a past director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.  She received her M.D. degree and internship in Internal Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School and completed special training at Johns Hopkins.  She spoke on this broadcast as an independent physician, not as a spokesperson for any healthcare system, pharmaceutical company, insurance plans or political party.  She is a patient advocate.

The 77th World Health Organization Assembly is over and the pandemic treaty was not passed.  Dr. Vliet believes they are distracting people by saying that the treaty ran into problems so it’s only on the “back burner” until the next gathering when there’s less pressure and less public focus.  

What they did “under the radar” was to pass International Health Regulatory Agreement amendments from the 2005 agreement.  She contends that the amendments that were passed are more draconian than ever.  For example, in one of the amendments they now have arrest power for anyone who criticizes the avian flu vaccines.

Is avian (bird) flu rampant in animals?  Dr. Vliet says it’s not because the unreliable PCR test is being used as a diagnostic test when in fact, it’s not and never has been.  Nonetheless it’s being used to claim bird flu in animals which is an excuse to slaughter the food supply and scare people into receiving more experimental shots.  In other words, the playbook that was used in 2020 for the COVID pandemic (and disrupt the election) is being used in regard to the avian flu situation.  

From cancer to court cases, to gain-of-function and more, a lot is covered for you to hear and to share with others, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Islam’s Advance

Date: June 11, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Usama Dakdok MP3 | Order

Just over 14 years ago, Usama Dakdok made his first appearance on Crosstalk.  At that time he warned listeners about the goal of Islam and the caliphate whereby the lands and the people would be under the domain of Islam.  He warned that this would take place in Europe.  The result?  In our day we are literally watching the transformation of Great Britain, France, Germany and the European Union.

Sadly, it’s also taking place here in America, not just on university campuses but in cities across the nation.  We can see from their protests that this movement is against not only Jews, but Christians and everything America stands for.   

Usama Dakdok is founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry.  He’s the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam.  Usama speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Quran into English.  He is the author of Exposing the Truth about the Qur’an and Exposing the Truth About Jihad and the booklets, The Violent Truth about Islam and The Straight Way to Eternal Life.

Beginning with Europe, Jim noted how in Germany’s recent election, the Muslim Party received just over 41%  of the vote. In fact, things are so bad, writer Robert Spencer noted that Britain, “…is in its last days as a free society and will soon become an Islamic state.”      

To further show the depth of the problem in Europe, Spencer wrote about Lawrence Fox, the English actor turned political activist.  Fox communicated that the mayors of London, Birmingham, Leeds, Blackburn, Sheffield, Oxford, Luton, Oldham and Rochdale are all Muslim.  All that was achieved by only 4 million Muslims out of 66 million people in England.  The article went on to reveal that there’s over 3,000 mosques in England, over 130 Sharia courts, more than 50 Sharia councils, 78% of Muslim women do not work yet receive state support, 63% of Muslims don’t work yet receive state support and free housing and every UK school is required to teach lessons about Islam. 

Another troubling turn is the increase in honor crimes/killings.  Jim reported that there’s been a 62% increase in the last two years.  Usama indicated this is due to more Muslims migrating to Europe and the U.S.  This is helped along by a media that’s reluctant to report on it.

Usama noted that the situation in England was achieved by the Muslim Brotherhood and that overall, this simply isn’t Muslim refugees looking for a better life under democracy.  In other words, this is not immigration, it’s invasion and it’s happening because Muslims are using the laws of the West to take over and he believes this is coming to America very soon.

Israel Hostages Rescued! Israel Rejoices, the World Mourns

Date: June 10, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Chris Katulka MP3 | Order

Chris Katulka is the assistant director of North American Ministries at The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry and host of The Friends of Israel Today radio program.  He is a Bible teacher, writer for Israel My Glory magazine and is author of the book, Israel Always.

This past Saturday, in broad daylight, Israeli Defense Forces engaged in an amazing rescue operation of 4 Israelis that were taken hostage at the Supernova music festival that took place in Gaza (on the Israeli side) on October 7th.  While Israel has been celebrating this effort, there’s been widespread condemnation elsewhere because of those who were killed in the process.  

As an example of the celebratory tone coming from Israel, Jim noted that Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant called the rescue, “…one the most heroic and extraordinary operations I’ve witnessed over the course of 47 years serving in Israel’s defense establishment.”

This broadcast covered a lot of ground surrounding this topic as Jim and Chris discussed President Biden who continues to float a ceasefire deal, are the people who are part of the casualty numbers all innocent Palestinians, Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming speech before a joint session of Congress, possible banning of Israel from the Olympics and much more.

Globalism:  The Great World Consumption

Date: June 6, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Dr. Richard Schmidt MP3 ​​​| Order

If you’ve been listening to Crosstalk for some time, you’ve likely discovered that there’s been a significant uptick in the intensity of issues bombarding the world.  It’s not just a single battle being waged, but an all-out war on numerous fronts.  There’s the attack on biblical values, the demonizing of Christianity, the escalation of lawlessness, the emerging secular agenda, and the growing control of the populace.  Some may see these things as accidental or isolated incidents that aren’t connected.  However, they all share a common thread.  It’s the promotion of globalism.

Appearing on Crosstalk to discuss this topic, Jim welcomed back Dr. Richard Schmidt.  Dr. Schmidt is the pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries.  He’s the speaker on the weekly TV program, “Prophecy Focus” and the radio broadcast, “Prophecy Unfolding.”  He spent 32 years in law enforcement including that of acting sheriff of Milwaukee County until his retirement.  He’s authored several books including: Are You Going to a Better Place?, Daniel’s Gap Paul’s Mystery, Tribulation to Triumph: The Olivet Discourse, and the newly released, Globalism: The Great World Consumption.

Dr. Schmidt began by reminding listeners that 2 Timothy 3:1 tells us that in the last day, perilous times will come.  “Last days” is used in different contexts in the Bible.  When looking at this from a prophetic standpoint, this deals with the tribulation.  However, in 2 Timothy, Paul is referring to horrible, dangerous times that will occur toward the end of the church age which is the age we are currently in.

So what are some of the characteristics of this age and how do they relate to globalism?  Don’t miss this Crosstalk as Dr. Schmidt talks about the following:

Lawlessness

Deceitful doctrine  

The prophetic mandate for the satanic one-world system. 

The schedule of events on God’s prophetic calendar. 

Why all of us need to be about doing the work of an evangelist. 

The correlation between COVID-19 and one world government. 

Worldwide disease and plagues 

The gender factor 

Climate change 

The one-world economy 

…and more.

Andy Woods Rally – “Signs of the Times”

Date: June 6, 2024 Host: Dalton Windsor MP3 

Dr. Andy Woods is the president of Chafer Theological Seminary and senior pastor of Sugar Land Bible Church.  He’s contributed to numerous theological journals and Christian books and has spoken on a variety of topics at Christian conferences.  He’s the author of The Middle East Meltdown, The Falling Away, as well as other books. Dr. Woods spoke at a VCY America spring rally in Southeast Wisconsin in April of this year.      

Dr. Woods began by describing how Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of his day because they should have been able to recognize who he was based on the signs of the times.  In spite of this, they refused to pay attention.  They completely failed to recognize the messianic time period they were living in.

Dr. Woods reminded listeners that throughout history we see that when God sets something up, there are signs of the times that people are to be aware of and to pay close attention to them.  This is especially important in our day because there are more signs pointing to Christ’s second coming than his first. 

In this broadcast, Dr. Woods analyzes numerous signs that point to this return, beginning with the regathering of the Jews to Israel, the nation that’s the modern miracle and focal point of biblical prophecy.  He also looks at the third Temple, the red heifers, an invasion by Turkey/Russia/Iran and much more.

Homosexuality:  What Does the Bible Say?

Date: June 3, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Pastor Rick Rogers MP3 | Order

With each passing year, advocates of the LGBTQ+ agenda are more vocal and more aggressive in advancing their cause while denouncing those who object.  As has been his custom, President Biden issued a proclamation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Pride Month.  His proclamation stated,   “Advancing equality for the LGBTQI+ community is a top priority.”

Is this the last word because churches are becoming more accepting, because “drag queens” are allowed to read stories to children, because world governments, or specifically, a U.S. administration, makes it a “top priority”?  Instead, what we should be asking is: What does the Bible say?

Joining Crosstalk to answer that question was Pastor Rick Rogers of Calvary Baptist Church in Sturtevant, Wisconsin.  He’s a chaplain for law enforcement, is a former director of the Alpha Women’s Center and also previously served on the Board of Baptists for Life of Wisconsin.

Pastor Rogers began by noting how God has ordained 3 institutions: The family (Genesis 1), human governments (Genesis 9) and the Church of Jesus Christ.  These were ordained for godliness, law and order.  This is where Satan has been attacking the hardest.  Pastor Rogers noted that if you dismantle those three, you’ve dismantled the foundation of the calling we have from the Lord.  In other words, it’s a war against the natural order.

What about those who believe this is a genetic issue?  If that’s the case, how can God condemn it?  Pastor Rogers communicated that there are some things in genetics you just can’t prove and this is one of them.  We see this by the fact that no “gay gene” has been found.  

With all of the debate that goes on over this issue, is it possible that God and the Bible are ambiguous about it?  Find out for yourself as Pastor Rogers looked at the Adamic Covenant, Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 6, the growing LGBTQ militancy and much more. 

In the end, this subject is not about rights, inclusion, diversity, feelings and emotion.  It’s about what God’s Word says.  Discover what that is when you review this important edition of Crosstalk.
