Eric Barger, Founder and President of Take A Stand! Ministries, will be with us on Sunday morning, September 24th during the Sunday School hour and the Worship Service.
During the Sunday School hour at 9:00 AM, Eric delivers a message on The Death of Discernment – How The Shack Became the #1 Bestseller in Christianity. This powerful message illustrates the desperate need for clear and decisive biblical apologetics in the Church today. Find out why author and Christian apologist, Eric Barger, believes that the popularity of William Paul Young’s emotionally charged story, The Shack, signals an unprecedented lack of discernment from within Christianity. In 2008 Barger challenged Young face to face about the form of universalism promoted throughout his book. Years later, Young has finally admitted that he believes in the aberrant idea of Universal Reconciliation. But this runaway bestseller and motion picture contains other unbiblical, unorthodox theologies that continue to threaten and deceive untold numbers of both Christians and unbelieving seekers in our midst.
During the Worship Service at 10:30 AM, Eric delivers a message on Hath God Said? – Holding Onto The Bible in Troubled Times. How We Got the Bible, Why it’s True, and How We Know! Eric Barger states: “If Jesus Christ is who He said He was, If He did what history says He did, If He died and rose from the tomb, AND IF HE PROCLAIMED SOMETHING TO BE “THE WORD OF GOD,” then those who claim to follow Him should understand, proclaim, and defend it as such. Since we’ve accepted the promise of eternal life based on the teachings of its pages, we’d best know with resounding certainty why the Bible is reliable, inspired and infallible!”
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!”
