VIEW SHOW

Wednesday, June 3, 2015
On Point of View today, Kerby explores the issue of the Decline of Christianity. Is the church trying too hard to fit in with the cultural norms of the day? And is it losing itself in the process? With the help of our in-studio guests, Steve Cable and Byron Barlow we will examine the statistics and determine the validity of the rhetoric regarding the collapsing church. In the second hour, our guest Avi Lipkin weighs in from Israel about Iran and the threat they pose to world peace.
