Does Pastor Broggi believe we are in the last days given the persecution of Christians, natural disasters, evil governments, etc. No one knows the time...but are most of the signs there?

Dave Hunt has written a book entitled "A Woman Rides the Beast." Does Pastor Broggi know anything about this book?

How does Pastor Broggi think people (i.e. leaders, etc.) will explain the disappearance of all of the Christians at the Rapture? Like the demonstration Pastor Broggi gave, surgeries will stop mid-surgery, pilots will disappear from cockpits, etc.

A caller with a comment...during this Pastor Appreciation Month, she wanted to be sure to thank Pastor Broggi for being her pastor and for teaching her that the Lord comes first in her life. She prays the Lord will bless Pastor Carl and continue to give him the strength to preach without compromise.

Kelvin, Lancaster, NH - Is it ever right to take someone to court? My father recently passed away without leaving a will. He remarried a year and a half before he passed away and his wife lives on the land he owned. According to the law, his three sons are entitled to a portion of the land. We (the sons) have tried repeatedly to get his wife to speak to us about settling the estate legally, but she refuses to do so and simply wants us to leave all the land to her without compensation. Because she refuses to work this out with us, our lawyer has recommended filing a suit of partition in order to force the issue to be legally settled. I understand the Bible addresses not suing a fellow Christian in 1 Corinthians, but I am not convinced that she is a believer. Is it best for us to just walk away from this or is it permissible for a Christian to go to court over matters such as these?

Our next caller would like Pastor Carl to explain the difference between our soul and our spirit.

In the book of Numbers  what was the significance of age 20 as the cutoff for the children of Israel being able to enter the promised land?

How does Pastor Broggi think people (i.e. leaders, etc.) will explain the disappearance of all of the Christians at the Rapture? Like the demonstration Pastor Broggi gave, surgeries will stop mid-surgery, pilots will disappear from cockpits, etc.

A listener asks: After the Ascension, the Bible references that Jesus Christ was seated at the right hand of God the Father (Eph. 1:20). Then, when Stephen was stoned (Acts 7:54) he looked up and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Is it significant that Jesus was seated or standing?

In Zechariah 4, the question is asked about the lampstands and the 2 olive trees. This caller would like Pastor Broggi to explain what the two olive trees represent.
