TODAY’S GUEST: Pastor John Pennell of Calvary Chapel, Lake Villa, Illinois has been senior pastor since 1999. CCLV streams praise and worship 24-7 along with the reading and teaching of God’s Word on the church radio station WLGS 101.5. John also hosts The Cleansing Word podcast. He and his wife, Lily have been married for 44 years, they have two children and five grandchildren. John is a graduate of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa’s School of Ministry, and also spent 20 years as a brick mason.
In Part 2 of our investigation into Freemasonry, we discuss and expose its rituals and false teachings that oppose biblical Christianity. We examine some of its history and explain The Masonic Lodge’s emphasis on oaths, symbols, mystery, and good works, occult influences, and we contrast these philosophies with the Biblical worldview.
What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” “Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 2 Cor. 6:16-17
But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. Matthew 5:34-37

TODAY’S GUEST is Pastor Joe Schimmel of Good Fight Ministries. Joe has been the pastor of Blessed Hope Chapel in Simi Valley, CA since 1987. His testimony of the transforming power of Jesus Christ in his own life can be seen in the powerful exposé, They Sold Their Souls for Rock & Roll, and has given live presentations at churches around the world.
Good Fight is producing a 7-part series, Marvel & DC’s War on God, an eye-opening series that documents how popular comic books – and the movies that they have spawned – are riddled with anti-Christ themes that glorify gratuitous violence, sexual perversion, blasphemy, and the occult. Many leading comic book writers have admitted that they are using seduction, manipulation, and satanism to influence our children.
We discuss the influences and agendas behind entertainment going back a hundred years to comic books, movies, and more. Good Fight Ministries strives to help parents and young people alike to better discern the underlying messages in many popular comic books and movies that affect millions of professing Christian families. As we seek to know the Lord and follow His word, it is imperative that we are wise to the ways of the evil one in popular culture!

All across North America, Christian churches have unknowingly encouraged occult beliefs and practices far removed from what the Bible teaches. This unfortunate reality is intrinsically linked to the popularity increase of New Age spirituality in the twenty-first century, and we've been so influenced by its integration into our society that we have become blind to recognizing, and preventing, the effects of this mainstream, pop-culture heresy, even within the walls of God's house.
Today's guest is former New Ager, Steven Bancarz, founder of the apologetics website, Reasons for Jesus, and co-author of the best-selling book The Second Coming of the New Age.

So many gods, so little time. There are well over 1.5 million Wiccans (over 3 million pagans, total) in the U.S. and these numbers are growing. Some are deceivers while many others are simply deceived, just looking for some kind of spirituality to practice. The increase of young people identifying themselves as neo-pagans and Wiccans is due in part to the media’s glorification of the supernatural, occult themes in Hollywood, and disillusionment with organized religion.
From national monuments to pagan deities and statues across North America, ancient gods and goddesses are all around us. Deception, idolatry, the occult, earth worship, satanism, and witchcraft have become common and to a great degree, accepted in our society. The question we should, however, ask is to what extent has it seeped into our churches?

Has Paganism gone mainstream? There are over 3 million professing pagans in the U.S. Have you heard about the Covenant of the Goddess? What is Poly-pantheism? The Church of All Worlds, Ego-Magical activism? Exploring past lives?

Most of us know and understand the fact that too much screen time can affect our lives. Some would say screens are frying our brains, but we won't go that far. Media affects us emotionally as well, to the point some people simply have to unplug for a while. Kids need to do this even more so as they are forming life habits - including a worldview - and social media and technology does affect their young minds and behavior.
For Christian parents, the importance of protecting your children from all the dangers, seductions, and perversions on social media cannot be overstated. All parents must go the extra mile and take this very seriously. We catch up with Counter Culture Mom, Tina Marie Griffin to talk about the dangers of social media and today's 'accepted' forms of entertainment.

Cults, deceptions, satanism, and the supernatural. Where do we start? How about in the Christian church? We are warned to come out from among them and be separate. Most of us would admit that the increasing spiritual darkness today goes hand in hand with the landslide of immorality and rebellion against God. Interest in demons, the occult, witchcraft, and the paranormal have never been so high.
We expect these things to be popular in a pagan society and among those who don't know God. But what we are seeing more and more is the church opening up its door to one or more of these deceptions. This goes beyond false teachings although sound doctrine is of utmost importance to Christians. We're talking about the demonic realm; about spiritual warfare.

All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day, Halloween, Day of the Dead, Harvest Festival, Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas. The list could go on. As Christians, we live for Jesus Christ and celebrate Him. To live is Christ. He said to His followers "You are the light of the world." What does that mean? How then should we live and can light mix with darkness?
We recently talked about Halloween and its origins, and discussed how Christians should celebrate it if at all. But we're moving on to something that is evident in our culture and country year-round, sometimes obvious, often subtle: witchcraft. It's prevalent in our culture and entertainment industry, kids games, the Internet, and in public school curriculum.
How has the church generally responded?

In Matthew 12:38, the scribes and Pharisees asked Jesus for "another sign" not long after he had healed the sick and a demon-possessed man who was also blind. Jesus responded:"An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign but none will be given except the sign of the prophet Jonah"That "sign" was when Jesus would rise from the grave to prove His deity and God's power over sin and death.Many Christians and churches today are continually seeking more signs and wonders. Let's be clear: some are sincere believers in Christ, but their continual need for additional signs and miracles testifies to the weakness of their faith in the completed work of Jesus on the cross. We look at a critique from The Gospel Coalition regarding Bethel Church in Redding, California and its leaders Bill and and Beni Johnson, and we discuss the pitfalls of this charismatic movement.In our first segment we visit with author David Richardson to discuss content in his book Transparent - about how our deeply held assumptions can deceive us and hinder us in our walk with God.

The world is changing rapidly and the capabilities of technology are increasing at an alarming rate. Technological devices that serve us today could one day be used to monitor and control us.
Patrick Wood of Technocracy News joins Mike and David to look at some of the frightening scenarios in the coming years. Once Artificial Intelligence is "let out of the bottle" can anything stop it from being used to enslave us?
In our final segments, we look at some sad and shocking stories including how professing Christians continue to fall for theologies and beliefs that the Bible warns us about. This is not a joke, but we'll discuss concerns about a self-proclaimed "Christian" Witch, and in another story, a modern-day "Prophet" of the Most High God.

Last week, some media outlets covered a story of a group of Witches gathering to cast a curse on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Their curse called for him to suffer physically and emotionally and lead to his eventual death. The secular outlets that covered it mostly laughed it off as foolishness. But to dismiss witches casting spells may be foolish and ignorant as well. Should these curses be dismissed or taken seriously?
Elijah Abraham has traveled to dozens of countries sharing the gospel with Muslims, and equipping Christian pastors and leaders to share the gospel in their nations. Some of these nations are ones where witch doctors and spiritual shamans cast similar spells. Abraham also equips Christians in nations where going public with your Christian faith might be met with violent opposition. He joins us to share his ministry experiences, and to discuss the effectiveness and maturity of professing Christian Churches in our own nation as we continue to see compromise with the world.

Death has been called the "great door to the unknown". Since the beginning of time man has wondered if there is life after death; and if so what does that life look like. Of course, God's Word speaks clearly to the issue. One key section is the 'resurrection chapter' where Paul teaches believers about the resurrection of the physical body after death. The other thing is as believers in Christ, we have assurance the world does not have about what happens after we die.
In out first segment, Jay Seegert joins us to discuss the Grand Canyon and the evidence it presents confirming the biblical account of creation.
In our second segment today we cover the story of one Theresa Caputo, the self-proclaimed "Long Island Medium" who was in Green Bay last night. Caputo claims to speak to dead spirits, bringing peace to people who wonder what has happened to their loved ones. We'll take a look at Caputo's claims and see what God's Word has to say about contacting dead spirits.

Today we take a look at several Old Testament Scriptures revealing how God deals with people. Even though many prophecies were unique or specific for the nation of Israel, there are principles that we can learn and patterns of behavior we can avoid. We discuss idolatry in America, spiritual warfare including witches casting spells on President Trump, as well as the dangers of government spying on private citizens and its ability to hack any of our technological devices.
On the program is author, pastor, and prophecy expert, Carl Gallups. He teaches and comments on Israel and the book of Numbers, and explains how we may be following in their footsteps by going after false gods here in America.
