The Barker Brief That Almost Wasn’t

It seems that there are forces trying to stop “The Barker Brief” from being transmitted.  Thankfully, when you have something to say and you are on Christ’s side, you will prevail.

(Union, KY) – While filling in for Mr. Richard Barrett of The Barrett Brief Fame on Wednesday November 27th, 2019, a windstorm knocked out the internet access interrupting the broadcast.  That was a rough blow since it was in the middle of The Crusade Channel’s 28th Annual Thanksgiving Extravaganza.  Although the link was reestablished, there was no small amount of content left uncovered during the show.  So to ensure that everyone is able to hear what was supposed to be covered the show, an encore-type program has been recorded for your listening pleasure sans the interview with Toby J. Sumpter.

Some of the topics covered will be familiar to those who were able to tune in and most of it will be new to everyone.  Those topics include:I started to write an article last week about CFA’s statements and direction for charitable giving in 2020
As I worked on it, more and more information came to light about the direction CFA has taken over the past several years.
TKD pointed this out which started me down a line of research.
I had to scrap the whole article
The title was “CFA shouldn’t negotiate with LGBT Terrorists”
However, I don’t believe the capitulated – it seems this was a direct internal focus by them.

Let’s Talk About Disney

• Disney Plus launched and had 10 Million subscribers within the first few days.  Do we know what it is that we are supporting? Disney is harboring and abetting child molesters and child rapists. Is that really where we want our money to go?
• Digital media, games, and streaming services are influencing our children distracting them from a real desire to contribute to society, as evidenced in this recent news item.  US/UK Kids want to be YouTubers/Vloggers as opposed to Chinese children who wish to be astronauts. 
  • Parents – we must reclaim the true meaning of the word “vocation” and instruct our children to discover the gifts given to the by the Holy Spirit.
  • we have to train our children and raise them up with a desire to serve others through Christ advancing His Kingdom.

Give a Gift that’s BETTER than Disney Plus, Netflix and Amazon – a Membership to The Crusade Channel.  You Won’t Regret Helping the Cause.

Suicides, Drug Addictions, and Alcoholism Are Robbing Us of Image Bearers

• Headline:  ‘There’s something terribly wrong’: Americans are dying young at alarming rates
• Headline: Suicide rate for kids ages 10 to 14 nearly tripled in last decade: CDC
  • Why are suicide rates tripling? Because we aren’t teaching our children that they are intrinsically valuable.
  • Where is the hope?

What is Addiction? Hint – it is NOT a disease.

• The world says that addiction is a disease, but Romans 6:16 says addiction is slavery to sin.
• It is important to define terms Biblically
• If we listen to the world’s definition, there is hopelessness and despair; but when we listen to what Christ says about our issues, we are infused with hope.

The Damning Heresy of the Prosperity Gospel

• Kanye West at Joel Osteen’s Church
  • Put Joel Osteen back in the spotlight
  • Kanye says Joel shows how good God is
• Kanye does not need to be doing Sunday Services
• Kanye does not need to be speaking in front of audiences like Osteen’s (neither does Osteen) because he is a novice.  He should be sitting under proper Biblical teaching and mature first.
• Adam Tyson, from what I’ve heard in the interviews, is giving Ye some solid counsel

Biblical Irony Destroys the Prosperity Gospel

• Headline: How the Bible’s Irony Combats the Prosperity Gospel
  • You must lose your life in order to gain your life
  • You must be last in order to be first

To gain humility is to exalt Christ’s Work.  Get your copy of Father Gaetano Mary de Bergamo’s “Humility of Heart” and begin a life-long journey of seeking to know Jesus more.

Chick-Fil-A Did Not Capitulate – They Followed Their Plan Completely

• • I started to write an article last week about CFA’s statements and direction for charitable giving in 2020
  • As I worked on it, more and more information came to light about the direction CFA has taken over the past several years.  Mike Church pointed this out which started me down a line of research.  I had to scrap the whole article.
  • Headline: Chick-fil-A Put an Obama and Hillary Supporter in Charge, but Dumped Christians
  • Headline: Chick-Fil-A Talks Out Of Both Sides Of Its Mouth While Switching Support From Christian To LGBT Charities
  • What is the difference between moral, amoral, and immoral companies?
  • How do we know which to support?
