MONDAY, APRIL 28th: "ARE THE MIRACULOUS GIFTS FOR TODAY?"

DR. SAM WALDRON, one of the pastors of the Heritage Baptist Church of Owensboro, Kentucky, and the Professor of Systematic Theology at the Midwest Center for Theological Studies, will address the theme of his book: TO BE CONTINUED: Are the Miraculous Gifts for Today? , in which he builds systematic case for the complete cessation of the miraculous gifts as well as the office of Apostle and prophet.

My cohost today is Pastor Jim Capo of the Massapequa Church of God who is not a cessationist but despises the abuse and fakery of the sign gifts rampant today, and finds much agreeable with Dr. Waldron's arguments.

FRIDAY, MAY 2nd: "MARY: Her Role & Status in the New Testament & Roman Catholicism"

ERIC SVENDSEN, Evangelical apologist, debater, author and director of New Testament Research Ministries , will address the theme of his groundbreaking, 334-page work WHO IS MY MOTHER?: The Role & Status of Mary in the New Testament & Roman Catholicism .

Renowned Biblical Counselor and scholar Dr. Jay Adams said of Eric's masterpiece: "Until this book there has been no definitive response to the many Roman Catholic myths concerning Mary. Here, at last, anyone looking for it may find more than enough help. Arguments, no matter how outlandish, are considered and refuted; every biblical reference is carefully examined and exegeted, and a devastating (but calm) counter-argument is presented. The book is scholarly, but not difficult to read. I highly commend it!"
