Questions from Callers and the Chat Room Spurgeon Quote: “I once met a man who had been forty years a Christian, and believed it to be his duty to be baptized; but when I spoke to him about it, he said, ‘He that believeth shall not make haste.’ After forty years’ delay, he talked about not making haste. I quoted to him another passage: ‘I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandment,’ and showed him what the meaning of his misapplied passage was” (3205.333).

Wade - a court decision that has resulted in the murder of more than 54 million United States citizens. Guests will include Marcus Pittman, producer of the soon-to-be released documentary, "Babies Are Murdered Here," and frontline abortion clinic soldiers: Jon Speed, Patte Smith, Donna Hebert, and Mike Peek.

Questions and Answers!  This week we asked the listeners to send in their toughtest questions.  Are Chris, Ken and Rich up to the task?  Tune in tonight as we discuss questions ranging from "Can a person be a Christian and not believe in the Trinity?" to  "How do you respond to a Catholic who argues communion is essential to salvation?"

Chris Hohnholz, Ken "Kenobi" Cook and Richard Story will discuss various topics ranging from evangelizing and ministering to your family, the use of apologetics in evangelism, and how you can evangelize if your not a street or open air preacher.  Also in store, "DUB hunting!"  

Our guests for tonight's show will be Pastor Jon Speed (Christ Is King Baptis Church), Pastor Jeremy Hiltz (WIndsor Memorial Baptist Church) and Donna Hebert. Donna and her team, Pro-Life Missionaries of Maine, are at ground zero of the abortion battle in Portland, ME. And we want to talk to Christians who are pro-choice. The pro-choice (i.e. "pro-murder") lobby would say this baby's hand is human, but the rest of this little girl's body is a parasite. We'll explain why. "Ordain a Lady" - a new song climbing up the Bible Deniers charts. We will play it for you. WARNING: If you are a genuine follower of Jesus Christ, your head might explode.

First up, the beautiful and glorious Doctrine of Adoption. Ken "KEN-Obi" Cook will go street fishing in beautiful downtown Newberg, OR. Should open-air preachers use written notes? Tony will take on one of the "brights" of the agnostic (no such thing) community, Bart Ehrman. Tony will show how in one assertions Ehrman is guilty of no less than FIVE logical fallacies.

And an eight-minute audio that will either leave your eyes rolling, your head spinning, or your cheeks hurting with laughter.
