Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

[http://www.standupforthetruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Haller.John_bio-e1575307926239-300x289.jpg]How many films have we watched in which the plot gets so bogged down you want to run from the theater? We might even know how it ends, “predictably” even, but things get so complicated in the middle you wonder if it will ever be resolved. As Bible students watching the Mideast [https://www.standupforthetruth.com/?s=%22middle+east%22&et_pb_searchform_submit=et_search_proccess&et_pb_include_posts=yes&et_pb_include_pages=yes], we often feel that way, especially with our current admin believing that everything is resolvable ultimately. Simplistic perhaps, especially where God’s acreage is concerned. Today we welcome back John Haller and try and make sense of all the plot twists. I know I am really having trouble following, and if you feel that way, you are not alone. Bring popcorn. Topics include the first Syrian visit with the US in 25 years; what Trump is hoping for following their protracted war. We also look at the Gulf Cooperation Summit and the big price tag on defensive weaponry that Gulf States are shopping for. Saudi has a big desert city in their sights, is it even possible to finish this incredibly ambitious project? We talk mostly Mideast today, and it’s been a whirlwind week.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline [https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline] & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A]

Mary takes on the latest “marking” technology by taking a road trip into the late 1990s and early ’00s,  looking at the history of implanted tech – and why 1999 chip rumours of mass implantations are obsolete. Remember when tattoos were back-alley statements? It wasn’t that long ago that they were frowned upon for “decent moral people”. But things have changed in the land of all things “cool”, and now smart tattoos are nearly here. We also look at the latest updates regarding Islam’s growth in Texas, and who is finally getting involved. With the story of Islamic communities springing up hitting the mainstream, it looks like it has the attention of state and federal authorities finally. Then we look at the rumour mill swirling about Israel, suggesting that the POTUS is no longer tight with our only real Mideast ally. The “art of the deal” – that’s what Trump does best, and it’s not a lazy summer game of checkers – it’s chess, and it’s sophisticated. Lots to talk about on this edition of Stand Up for the Truth.

Tim and Mary Danielsen talk about the long-term value to learning how to study the Scriptures via the inductive study method. What is inductive bible study? Observing, interpreting, and applying Scriptures is a skill within every believer’s reach, and with a bit of work yields remarkable results as we learn to hold the Scriptures in high esteem, and yield ourselves to what we learn so that we can realize the transformed life. Maybe you have done mostly a type of devotional study but feel like there is something missing in your studies. There is nothing wrong with a devotional approach – but once you learn these skills you probably won’t look at any passage of Scripture the same ever again. If your goal is to go much deeper into the Word and glean some remarkable truths, we encourage you to give a listen and see if inductive bible study is for you or your church group. We talk about how to observe any text, how to do word studies (no, you need not be a Greek or Hebrew scholar), the place for commentaries, and how to interpret and apply to be faithful to the whole counsel of God’s Word.

[http://www.standupforthetruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Rob-Yardley.jpg]Mary welcomes Rob Yardley to the podcast, Rob is a true servant in the church with the heart of a pastor and theologian. Rob has served on several boards of note and continues to do so – from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa [http://pastorchuck.org] to ICR [http://icr.org] to Thru the Bible [http://ttb.org] with J Vernon McGee. His new role as Executive Director of The Berean Call [http://thebereancall.org] is one that is dear to his heart because of his friendship with the late Dave Hunt, and of course T.A. McMahon, who has recently retired. When putting godly men like Dave Hunt, TA, Henry Morris, and J Vernon side by side we get a picture of 20th century men that God greatly used. We will look at the legacies of each one, and talk about what it means to be a Berean in 2025. Where are today’s great apologists and theologians? A thoughtful hour with a thoughtful brother.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline [https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline] & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A]

Raymond Edman through Edman’s devotional book The Delights of Life, [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4349906-the-delights-of-life] focusing on the chapter titled “Destination.” Using Revelation 14:13 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2014%3A13&version=NASB] as the anchor verse, Dave explores Edman’s reflections on death—not as something to fear, but as a destination of delight for those who know Christ. Through Scripture readings, poetry, and personal stories, he unpacks the hope and assurance found in a relationship with Jesus, encouraging listeners to view death as the doorway to God’s eternal presence rather than an end to be dreaded. Dave challenges listeners to examine their own views on life, death, and eternity, asking whether their trust is truly in Christ or in the temporary things of this world. He emphasizes that knowing God through His Word transforms our understanding of mortality and empowers us to live confidently and joyfully, even in the face of life’s uncertainties. This powerful conversation invites believers to shift their focus from earthly distractions to eternal truths, resting in the promise that “blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline [https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline] & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A]
