Description: In this Mini-Conference at Atonement Free Lutheran Church on Current Challenges to The Church, Eric brings two seminars on how the church is being challenged by false teaching, and on how we can and must answer these challenges.
The first seminar at 9:00 AM is on Is Your Church New Age, Emergent, or Christian? What an astounding question! Just a few short years ago, few would have dreamed that by 2013 Evangelicals would be asking this of themselves. These are truly the “perilous times” the Apostle Paul spoke of when men would have “a form of godliness” but would be void of the power of God (II Timothy 3:1-5).
This comparison of New Age and Emergent beliefs against the backdrop of biblical Christianity will not only expose the many likenesses shared by New Age and Emergent philosophies but it will also help equip Christians with discernment in understanding and recognizing real, authentic Christianity.
The second seminar at 10:30 AM is on The End-Time Occult Invasion – 2017 Update. Adapted from Eric’s book Entertaining Spirits Unaware: The End-Time Occult Invasion this material is vital for church leadership, parents and grandparents. There will be a time for questions and answers after the second seminar.
Speaker: After spending two decades immersed in the world as a record producer, rock musician, drug addict, and New Ager, Eric Barger is now widely recognized in the area of Christian Apologetics and Discernment Ministry.
He is the author of numerous books, including the best-seller From Rock to Rock, Entertaining Spirits Unaware: The End-Time Occult Invasion (with co-author David Benoit) and Disarming the Powers of Darkness. He has produced dozens of videos detailing various aspects of the Cults, the Occult, World Religions, Current Events, Bible Prophecy, and today’s Entertainment Industry all in the light of a biblical worldview.
Eric has written for USA Today and has been interviewed by numerous print and electronic media outlets, including Time Magazine and Fox News. His articles are now syndicated on many biblically-based prophetic and apologetics websites and blogs.
After hosting his own weekly radio program heard nationally, Eric now serves as the co-host of Understanding The Times with Jan Markell heard currently on over 800 stations. Through the years Eric has been a featured guest on hundreds of Christian and secular programs, such as Southwest Radio Ministries, Christ in Prophecy with Dr. David Reagan, Point of View with the late Marlin Maddoux, and many more.
Through his writing, video productions, media appearances, and the Take A Stand! Seminar series, Eric has sought to refute unscriptural ecumenism, universalism, the curious normalization of Mormonism, Islam, New Age philosophy, and other aberrant religious systems inside Christianity. However, no matter what the topic, the goal has been as our mission motto declares: “to see the Lost Saved and the Church Changed by the Power of Jesus Christ!”
