27. Battle for the Lost
We are at war with a powerful, threefold enemy. But God has given us even more
powerful weapons that can ensure victory for every soldier of Christ. Do you know
what they are? "Battle for the Lost" will tell you and then climax with a wonderful,
clear revelation of what God did for us at the Cross of Calvary. If you get a grip of
this revelation, you will never again be powerless against the pleasures of sin or the
glitter of this sinful world.
28. Where Has the Passion Gone?
There is nothing more important than to reach out to the unsaved. But
this is
something the Church won't do if it doesn't have a burning passion to
see them safe
in Christ. Having an all-consuming zeal for the lost should be the
testimony of every
Christian, but sadly few who profess to be in the contemporary Body of
Christ have
enough concern to make evangelism their obsession. "Where Has the
Passion Gone?" will help to make God's passion a reality in your own
life.
29. Joe Average
Joe is a typical man. He doesn't think much about the incredible creation that
surrounds him, let alone the unspeakably incredible Creator who created him. Even
though God gave him life, if you asked Joe if God had ever done anything for him,
he probably couldn't think of one thing. Each sunrise just reveals another average
day for Joe Average. Well…not quite. There is nothing "average" about Joe or what
he does each day. You will be delighted and encouraged by "Joe Average," because
he will make you see everything in a miraculous new light.
30. Caught in a Lie
Lying is usually a defense mechanism that we use to get ourselves o_ the hook.
Sometimes we can tell when a person is lying, but other times it may not be so easy.
"Caught in a Lie" will reveal why a "lie detector" doesn't really detect lies. You will
discover what happened when actor Kirk Cameron tried to fool a polygraph
machine. Why did his heart rate and blood pressure suddenly increase when he
answered certain questions? "Caught in a Lie" will also show you that there have been
two reliable witnesses to every crime of this world. Do you know what they are?
31. The Divine Butler
America has been a land flowing "with milk and honey." It has been rich, with an
abundance of food, wealth, and prosperity. But in recent years, something has
changed. We have been plagued with hundreds of killer tornadoes, terrifying
hurricanes, massive foods and droughts, and an onslaught of cancer. Each year
in the U.S. there are more than 189,000 new cases of prostate cancer and 203,000
cases of breast cancer. Over 2.3 million Americans will get cancer in the next year,
many of whom will be children. Why are these tragedies happening in this nation?
"The Divine Butler" will give you an insightful and thought-provoking perspective.
32. Why Christianity?
Imagine if you were offered a choice of four gifts: The original Mona Lisa, the keys to a
brand new Lamborghini, ten million dollars in cash, or a parachute. Which would you
choose? If you have ever asked what happens after we die, if there is a Heaven, or
how good we have to be to go there, "Why Christianity?" will help you. If you have
ever wondered which religion you should choose, if any, "Why Christianity?" will sort
through the confusion so that you can make the best choice. Take the time to watch
this carefully-there's nothing more important than where you will spend eternity.
33. Jehovah's Witnesses
The Jehovah's Witnesses are best known for going door-to-door. You have probably
seen them in your area, and more than likely they have knocked on your door. They
recently spent over 1.2 billion hours in one year proclaiming the "good news of
Jehovah and His Kingdom". What do they believe, and more important, how can
you effectively reach them with the truth? This episode will tell you what to say.
34. Mormonism
Who are the Mormons? They seem to be such moral, loving, family-oriented people.
How did the Mormon church get started? What do they believe? Are they Christian
or are they a cult? They say they believe the Bible, but what about the Book of
Mormon, the golden tablets, and Heavenly Father and his wives living on their own
planet? Will we become gods ruling our own planets? Did we all pre-exist before
being born on this earth? Is Jesus really Lucifer's brother . . . and what about being
"baptized for the dead" ? You will be amazed at what Mormons believe.
35. Are you a Genius?
Many people, attempting to show atheism to be "intellectual," have claimed that
Albert Einstein was an atheist. However, the brilliant scientist said the exact opposite.
He said, "In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited
human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God.
But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views."
Are you a Genius? Maybe you're no Einstein, but do you consider yourself to be an
intelligent person? "Are You a Genius?" will ask you seven fascinating questions that
will help you to see how intelligent you really are.
36. Last Words of the Rich and Famous
We live in a beautiful world of breathtaking beauty, with clear blue skies, puffy
clouds, an endless array of beautiful flowers, lush green grass, and magnificent tall
trees. It truly is a wonderful world, made by a wonderful and loving God. But think
about killer earthquakes, massive floods, terrifying hurricanes, fearful tornadoes,
disease and death, and ask why a loving God would create these things. If you have
ever wondered why there is so much suffering in this world, you will greatly
appreciate "Last Words of the Rich and Famous."
37. How to Find God's Will
Have you ever wondered what God wants you to do with your life? That's the
ultimate question for the Christian. "How to Find God's Will" clearly shows you that
you can know what He wants you to do. We have only one chance at this unspeakably
precious life, and if we miss God's will, everything else we do is futile.
38. What Scares You?
What do you fear in life? What really scares you? Is it guns, or heights? Or maybe you
are simply afraid of dying? Is it creepy spiders or venomous snakes? "What Scares
You?" reveals that a venomous snake is hanging onto the hand of the Body of Christ,
pouring in its venom of fear to paralyze you. That's a fear none of us want. But did
you know that there is another fear? It's a fear that we can't afford not to have . . .
39. Hollywood Be Thy Name
In the beginning Hollywood said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And there
were cameras. And the spirit of Hollywood moved across the face of the earth.
Hollywood created. It picked up unknowns from the soil of humanity and breathed
into them the life of celebrity-a golden image, whose sole purpose was to bring
in big money at the box office. But something went terribly wrong. In 1968 a
serpent appeared in the garden. Movies became filled with blasphemy, adultery,
and violence. The bright light that once was became a gross darkness, and
Hollywood began to suffer the ultimate delusion of grandeur. Enthroning itself as
God, it began to spout blasphemy against the heavens and became a law to itself.
Hollywood answered to no one-not even God. So it believed.
