When Jesus washed Peter’s feet, the conflict within Peter was palpable. He had a visceral reaction as His Master knelt before him. But servant leadership was on display, and we, like Peter, must heed this stark lesson in how to serve.

Israel's Birthday Party. We are joined by Craig Hartman (Founder of Shalom Ministries Inc., author). Topics discussed include: Moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem by May 14th. Israel’s independence. Biblical context to the Syria conflict. Solutions - Understanding God’s plan for Israel.

Guest: Dr. Andy Woods. Topic: Dr. Woods tells us about the 50 so-called evangelicals that met with Neo-Marixst Tim Keller to discuss how they are going to deal the Christians and pastors that are supporting the policies of President Trump. Topic: In this edition of Ask Dr. Woods he answers these questions. Question: Does Scripture reveal the role of the Holy Spirit in the Millennium and the Eternal State?  Will we be indwelt by the Holy Spirit in our glorified body?  He seals us until the day of redemption, but then what will happen with His role after that day? Question: What constitutes the biblical Canon? Do souls have to become perfect by dying and coming back in a human body until they reach perfection and are then one with God? Was this taught by St. Origen. Is this idea biblical or does it instead constitute new age beliefs? Question: I recently read through Isaiah and really loved chapter 55. Is it only for Jews or does it apply to all of us? Isaiah 56 header in my Bible is "Salvation for the Gentiles". It's good, but 55 really spoke to my heart. Question: Why did God give to or allow Satan to take over the earth after the fall?  Especially because Christ will be taking it back. Could you explain that whole story? Question: Can you give me a better understanding of election? I believe in God's sovereignty and man's responsibility, but I have a hard reconciling them. How are we elected?

Israel recently celebrated its 70th Birthday, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Jewish State among the nations of the world. On this edition of PTIB Jimmy DeYoung will have a conversation with Winkie Medad, a historian in Israel, who will reveal how the Lord used a secular Jewish journalist, a Christian in the British Government and the newly formed United Nations to make political decisions that brought about the "re-birth" of the modern-day Jewish State of Israel. Winkie and Jimmy will discuss how the Lord gave the ancient Jewish Prophet Ezekiel the scenario for how this would play out, which is the fulfillment of Bible Prophecy.

Last Wednesday through Saturday (April 18-21, 2018) Israel began a celebration for 70 years in the land of Israel - as the State of Israel. Joining Jim to shed some light on the celebration is Dr. Jimmy DeYoung of Prophecy Today Ministries. Dr. DeYoung is a student of bible prophecy and is considered an expert on the Middle East. 

History tells us that on May 14th, 1948 the Jewish people were reunited with their homeland. Many have asked the question 'So why are they celebrating in April?' Dr. DeYoung teaches us that Israel does not operate based on a 365 day calendar (like we do) but, on a lunar one (30 day month) 'hence the timing of it all.  Dr. DeYoung explains Israel's current Memorial Day observance and the very popular new testament 'bible study' with contests for Jewish youth where even the Prime Minister gets involved. DeYoung says it's an event 'like the Super Bowl.'

Jim asks Dr. DeYoung 'What did the United States and President Truman have to do with the state of Israel?' Dr. DeYoung answers that Israel's primary national founder (and first Prime Minister) Ben Gurion, went looking for the approval of world nations - DeYoung says that President Truman 'was the 1st world leader to offer it' and that President Truman was 'a student of the Word of God, himself.' Then, reference is made to a memo dated 'May 14, 1948' (6:11p.m. when the U.S. officially recognized the state of Israel).

Dr. DeYoung then goes on to respond to the question of there actually being any 'significance to 70 years for Israel?' He says seventy 'is a jubilee year' for the Jews but, then makes the all more important reference to Jesus' well known prophecy found in Matthew chapter 24 where the generation present at that time, would see Messiah return. Is that 'generation' this one? Dr. DeYoung explains from the bible.

Other parts of the discussion includes the theme of Israel's celebration 'A Legacy of Innovation' - a look at the many ways Israel's innovation has benefited the entire world. DeYoung also comments on the ongoing and most recent threats to Israel's security and more importantly, how Israel is prepared to respond saying 'they're going to continue to protect themselves.' DeYoung also touts the United States forthcoming embassy which has sparked several other world nations to follow suit. Crosstalk takes your calls.

Join us on Mission 18-13 of “It’s NOT Rocket Science with Jason Pratt” where our quest to understand the Bible and science takes to the earliest history of Earth! What was the atmosphere like? Did it have oxygen? Was there a super-continent? What would be required if life were to evolve? How would the environment be different considering God’s creative work during the first week? We’ll look at what the Bible declares as we launch from Genesis 1:1-13 and we’ll look at what evolutionary science wishes for and magically conjures up in biology textbooks and periodicals. We’ll begin looking at the scientific evidence and compare the Bible and science! I almost forgot our Scriptural Scientist Spotlight which we shine on Biblical geologist William Buckland (1784-1856).
 

Money and Economics: It All Belongs to God. We are joined by William Parker (CEO Grandview Asset Management). Topics discussed include: An Economic Update. Whose Money is it Anyways? Stewarding God’s Money. Biblically Responsible Investing.
