  There is an interesting dichotomy when we look at how two major religions--Christianity and Islam--are increasingly perceived and treated in our nation.
  Biblical Christianity calls on us to love all people, even those who are directly opposed to and violate God's Word. Islam calls for punishment and even death to classes of people such as homosexuals or those who call themselves "transgender".
  Biblical Christianity teaches that men should honor and cherish their wives; Islam teaches that wives are more like property than cherished partners. They can be beaten or divorced on a whim.
  So which of these religions should be the one feared by women and homosexuals? Islam. Yet it continues to get a pass with feminists, the radical homosexual movement and the media, while Christianity is framed as a religion of hate and bigotry. Which religion is being kicked out of schools and shouted down in public? Christianity, while Islam is promoted celebrated in public schools and feminist circles.
  Elijah Abraham, a former Muslim and now Evangelist and apologist for biblical Christianity joins us this morning to discuss this contradiction from reality.

  Today we look at an important controversy within a Christian denomination. This is a legitimate controversy over an important doctrine: predestination. Does God predestine certain people for heaven or hell? Doesn't man have a choice to confess, repent and submit to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? Southern Baptists are grappling with this crucial question as New Reformed Calvinism makes an impact on many members of the denomination.
  In our first segment, we check in with Tina Marie Griffin, the Counter Culture Mom to discuss dangers to our children in television, movies, music and video games. Topics today include virtual reality, the need for more Christian movies and video games, Facebook censorship, and a stern warning about one of the godless, offensive prime time TV shows. Also, were there satanic images in the background of the Super Bowl halftime show?

  As Christians adversity is an interesting thing from this perspective: None of us truly wants to experience it; but if we are not then we are probably not truly sold out for Jesus Christ and the gospel. If this sounds harsh you can blame Jesus Himself because he warned that opposition and adversity were sure to happen to His followers. So if we are not facing adversity or opposition perhaps the first thing we should do is ask God to reveal why our lives do not seem offensive to the world.
  When adversity and opposition arise how do we handle it as committed Christians? Dave Wager of Silver Birch Ranch and Nicolet Bible Institute wrote a book titled "Beyond the Resistance: Learning to Face Adversity" that is the subject of our discussion this morning.

  Does God care about football? Maybe not, but He does care about the hearts of men and women. He does care about those who are unashamed of the Gospel and who give Him glory in this life. It seems the Christian faith of many players on the Philadelphia Eagles is contagious, not just in their locker room, but outside the team as well. We'll talk about some very encouraging stories of men who are boldly standing up for Jesus and trying to walk the talk.
