Summary

The idea of “gay celibacy” on its face sounds like a reasonable idea our guest exposed the deception of it. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke to a former gay man who is now on the front lines of this issue who explained the confusion that this idea is creating in the lives of people and why some Christian leaders are buying into this false narrative that discounts God’s clear guidance for feel good teaching that dismiss the truth. The transformation of lives in Iran is still going on and we shared more stories of God at work in that Middle Eastern nation. But these are still dangerous times in that part of the world and we spoke to a man who has served over there for many years as he shared stories of the persecution those who choose Jesus face and despite their persecution, there unwillingness to deny their faith. For many people Hanukkah is considered a “Jewish version of Christmas” because they don’t really understand the significance of the celebration. But just as Christmas focuses on the birth of Jesus, our guest a respected leader in Jews for Jesus, shared the true story of this celebration and how Jesus fits into it. Just as Jesus came once as a babe, He will return to earth but in a much different form with a much different purpose. We spoke to a highly respected pastor who says that believers should not fear His return but use its inevitability as motivation and drive to live out their faith with courage and boldness. From the challenges of A.I. to the dangers of social media, parents have to be vigilant watchmen on the wall for their families. And that requires a clear understanding of God’s guidance through His word. We invite you once again to join us for another examination of the news through the unchanging lens of scripture.

0:00.0	Welcome to In The Market with Janet Parshall.
0:05.9	Today's program is where Janet and her husband Craig take some of the stories making headlines this week and offer their insight and analysis.
0:13.4	Before they get started, let's take a quick look back at some of the highlights from the week.
0:22.1	The story of Hanukkah is how God foiled the plans of Antiochus and of Satan himself
0:29.6	to undermine God's purposes and destroy the Syrian army, even though they vastly outnumbered the Jewish army, and enabled
0:42.3	the Maccabees, who were the smaller group of Jewish warriors, to fight against the Syrians,
0:49.3	recapture the temple, and rededicate that holy place.
0:59.5	The high ground of Mount Moriah is a place called Golgotha, the place of the skull.
1:03.4	Jesus Christ carried the wood to that location.
1:18.3	Just as Abraham acted out prophecy, Jesus took that same path that God had outlined in his Word, and it is a remarkable thing that when we listen to prophecy, we should be encouraged, we should be excited.
1:26.7	Bottom line is this, friends, there's no way to know that God keeps His Word unless you study the prophecies to see that he has. We paid a non-Christian organization survey inside Iran to ask the people of Iran, especially the young people under 25,
1:36.4	what do you think about Islam, what do you think about Jesus, what do you think about God?
1:40.7	Our research showed 82% of the people, they are done with Islam. They are done with Islam.
1:48.7	At the same time, Janet, over 90% said they respect Jesus. They love Jesus. That's the situation.
1:57.7	Islam is being rejected, but Jesus is favorable. That's why we see such a high
2:02.1	number of salvation. I know very well what it's like to be a member of the church
2:07.8	struggling with temptations towards the same sex. But one of the worst things I could have done
2:14.7	during those early years would have been to specialize my experience
2:19.4	and separate myself from the rest of the church with a category like that. And this is what I believe
2:25.1	the quote-unquote gay celibate movement or the gay celibate ideology is advising is that there's a
2:31.3	whole new category of believers known as gay celibates who are not only
2:37.7	in a special class, but to an extent, I would say it's even suggested they deserve special
