The War for the Truth

In his book The Truth War, Dr. John MacArthur writes, “It seems there is no shortage of people nowadays willing to kill for a lie. Yet few seem to be willing to speak up for the truth-much less die for it.” Are you willing to give your life for the sake of the Gospel? Pastor Jeff Short joins Mike as they discuss the ongoing war for the absolute truth of the Gospel.

Ask the Pastor

Ever had a question about religion, faith, doctrine, theology, the reformed faith, but didn’t know who to ask? On this broadcast, on this edition of Theology 101, Mike directs listener questions to Pastor Scott Reiber, dealing with topics such as:

• What is the definition of regneration?
• Does regeneration preceed salvation?
• When the Bible says that God is not willing that any should persish, doesn’t that mean that salvation is available to everyone? 

SEND IN YOUR QUESTIONS AND PASTOR SCOTT WILL ADDRESS THEM ON A FUTURE PROGRAM!

What is the standard for our faith?

Shouldn’t the Word of God be the standard for all life and godliness ( 1 Peter 1:3) In this program, Mike examines how Christians must judge all things through the lens, the standard , of Scripture. Also, a follow-up on a past program on election, including listener emails. 

 

Theology 101-Existentialism

Whether many know it or will acknowledge it, the predominant worldview is that of existentialism, or the belief that it’s man’s feelings that determine reality. On this installment of Theology 101, Mike and pastor Scott Reiber explore the definition of existentialism, it’s causes, it’s expressions, how it contradicts the Christian faith and how believers should address those with this worldview. 

Mission Ireland

In this special repeat broadcast from March 17, 2008, Mike shares an interview he did with Roger Basick with Life 93.1 FM radio in Cork, Ireland. Life FM is the first licensed Christian radio station in the Emerald Isle and recently celebrated its 1-year anniversary. Mike also shares his plan to travel to Cork City to help Life FM and how you can be a part of helping.

Commentary-A-Rod or A-Roid?

Great Conversations with Sproul and Duncan…

Mike is out of the studio this week and shares with you these great interviews with two of his heroes, Dr. R.C. Sproul and Dr. J. Ligon Duncan. Both conversations are from The Mike Corley Program’s CD series “The Direction of the Church“, which also features interviews with John MacArthur, Albert Mohler, D. James Kennedy, Mark Dever and Voddie Baucham. Get you copy of this great series at our online store now!

Lovers of self…pleasure

02.02.09- Oh the passion, the enthusiasm, the zeal…for the Gospel? No… for a football game. Over 1 billion people worshipped…uh…watched the Super Bowl over the weekend.

Commentary-So many religious…..

01.30.09- A recent Gallup poll shows that many people in the Bible Belt of America say that religion is very important to them in their daily lives. But does than translate into church attendance?

Is it Christian…or ain’t it?

Augustine once said, “If you believe what you like in the Gospels, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.” What is Christian and what isn’t? Mike draws comparisons featuring audio and commentary on the inaugural prayers by Rick Warren and Joseph Lowery, as also the ridiculous behavior and ministry of Ed Young Jr. during an interview with Steven Colbert. Finally, you will hear sound biblical teaching from John MacArthur

The Attack on Sola Scriptura

Mike shares a recent conversation he had with Pastor Ken Silva of Apprising Ministries and Christian Research Network. They discuss the growing attack on the doctrine of Sola Scriptura, that God’s Word is the sole basis for our faith as believers and that the biblical Word, rather than spiritual experience, is the test of truth.  

Getting it Right

In his article entitled Getting the Gospel Right, Dr. John MacArthur wrote, “

“I am amazed at some of the things that have been said and written in recent years about the gospel.  I fear that in many circles a different message is replacing the good news of salvation.  I’m not talking about the attacks on the gospel from liberal religion or the theology of the cults, but a skewed message that has sprouted from right within conservative evangelicalism. ”

In this new episode of The Mike Corley Program, Mike looks at this topic, sharing a online audio production featuring sermon clips drawing comparisons  from Paul Washer and Joel Osteen.

The Sovereignty of God-Deal with it!

If God is, and is who He says He is, why do we as mortal men think we can impose upon the will and the power of the eternal Creator? On this program, Mike examines the doctrine of the sovereignty of God and why it is that “people love the darkness more than they love the light.” Todays program also features a tremendous sermon clip by Pastor Jeff Noblit.
