Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Note: APOLOGIES FOR THE LATE POST! Mary welcomes the president of Spiritual Counterfeits Project, Mark Harris, to talk about the Success Motivation movement, and how it has lasted so long, and continues to influence the church. Some listeners will remember the likes of Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale and Robert Schuller – all proponents of this positive thinking type of approach to life. But is it just thinking the right thoughts? Rick Warren has said many times that Schuller was his inspiration for The Purpose Driven Life – a self help book for the ages, selling 50 million copies. We cannot overstate the influence these men had on our collective psyche for the last 100 years. What are the core principles of the SM movement? What are the dangers of being influenced by it? Today’s pervasive mantra, “You’ve got this!” is a similar self-help approach to any difficulty as if that alone is going to solve any problems, self-made or inflicted by life. There is something about this style of positive, name and claim mental gymnastics that has captivated so many  – and we will take a bite out of it today, helping the listener be discerning and careful in what we think about – and trust in.

Mary welcomes investment expert Evan Liberman to talk about the resilience of Israel’s economy under the fire of war, and under the microscope of the world. Talking with us live from Israel, we learn about why this is a golden age for Israel’s economy, and how God always seems to have His hand on them. Evan immigrated to Israel 33 years ago, and in 2010, he established Wise Money Israel, the only licensed Israeli wealth management firm that is Jewish believer-staffed and owned. The firm assists individuals and organizations to partner with Israel through investing in Israeli stocks and bonds in shekels. Wise Money manages approximately 400 million shekels in Israeli stock and bond portfolios for hundreds of clients from 35 nations. Beyond his professional work, Evan is a deeply rooted leader in the Land, living daily at the intersection of faith, economy, and national life in Israel. He and his wife Sarah lead a Hebrew-speaking congregation in Israel. Evan sits on the boards of Israel’s largest believer-run humanitarian group, The Joseph Project International, and the believer business economic forum Israel First Fruits. He serves as the Secretary for Israel for the International Messianic Jewish Alliance, and also on the National Steering Committee for Hebrew-speaking Messianic congregations.

On this edition of SUFTT, Tim and Mary look at the fall of the Judeo/Christian worldview and what is replacing it. Having built the west with its era of personal freedoms and democracy, today’s world is looking far less like what we have known and much more like pending tyranny. Islam, Marxism, climate theology and more all point to a completely new world order fit for Antichrist. In fact, Romans 1 also points to this transition clearly. We talk about Britain’s massive fall; the differences in worldviews; euthanasia laws coming online in various places. In the children’s nursery rhyme, “Humpty Dumpty”, we get the pithy inference that some things simply cannot be reversed, cannot be put back together and reach the point of no return. In Christianity, this hints directly at a time of judgment – after which all things are set aright, made new. Come Lord Jesus.

Mary takes on the lowly “comma” in today’s podcast. A relatively minor punctuation in life that, when placed by the Holy Spirit into the Scriptures, can separate concepts, lists, thoughts – and even years and millennia. Bible prophecy, for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, has given us many things to watch for and understand and in this generation, the clarity comes from what is commonly referred to as “dispensationalism”. Today we tour Isaiah 61, Zechariah 9, Isaiah 9. The church was called a “mystery” in the Scriptures, and that is a theme that really helps us understand that it had a start date and will have an end date. What is often called a “parenthetical” segment of time is actually the season in which God calls out a people separate from Israel, and yet grafted in. Oh the glorious ways and means of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! Learning about some mountain peaks and valleys in prophecy is our goal today. Seeing what the prophets longed to see. Explaining actual “gaps” – but not the “gap theory” which is not according to Scripture. Amazing, our Bible. Audio/Video version on Rumble today.

Mary welcomes back John Haller to see if we can begin to figure out the methods behind all the madness out there. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Polonius remarks to the Prince, “Though this be madness, yet there is method in ‘t.” Wouldn’t we all love to look behind the scenes and try to find the switch that shuts down all the insanity? Nothing makes sense anymore, except to the One to Whom it all matters: God, who knows exactly what is going on at all times. For now, we look at not just cultural madness, but geo-political – and we don’t need to look far. Turkey, Iran, Ai, blood libels against Israel, treaties and threats and tyrants are all on the stage at once. No wonder we can’t always hear the dialogue! But John is here to help us sort a lot of it out through his many contacts, his legal mind, and his ability to connect dots of many things all at once. A full hour of trying to make sense of a lot of seemingly senseless stuff.
