Road Trip Dividing Line From Conway, Arkansas

, , Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

I am at GBTS in Conway and we managed (despite some challenges!) to get a full DL in today! Caught up with a lot that has happened over the past week or so on a number of topics. Hope the discussion is useful and helpful in the midst of all the fog being produced today. We will go for another

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Eschatology, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Talked a bit about the upcoming trip, new new rig and studio, and the fact that HOPEFULLY next Tuesday we will do a live DL from the rig in the new studio AND at the same time auction off a gorgeous Jeffrey Rice LSB rebind (I am told on Twitter it is a “LSB 2 Column in Steel Grey Badalassi

A Dividing Line I Cannot Summarize!

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

We have a guy at Apologia who posts hilarious out-of-context quotes from the sermon on our member’s page. I need someone like that to listen to every Dividing Line and come up with a brief, yet usable, title, because with programs like today, I just have no idea. We covered the Washington State law that would allow the state to

Christian Nationalism, Sacralism, and Christian Maturity

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eschatology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Tackled the ever so easy, light issues of “White evangelicals,” Christian Nationalism, sacralism, and the recent dust-ups that had Reformed men posting clown-shoe memes about other Reformed men (all causing the angels in heaven to weep, me thinks). Had to do some eschatology and a lot more, but the fact is, it is indeed Christ or chaos, we must witness

Secularism’s Insanity, then Credo’s Promotion of Scholasticism

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Tale of two programs today as for the first half hour we considered the daily onslaught of secularism’s acidic destruction of Western society and life itself, and then switched gears to consider the newest edition of Credo Magazine and its full-throated promotion of, and defense of, “Reformed Scholasticism.”

Twitch Bows to Trans-Madness Mid Program

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

As normal, it is Tom Buck’s fault. Everything is Tom’s fault these days, so, we might as well join in the fun. Seriously, I mentioned him retweeting the video of Riley Gaines being attacked by trans-madness thugs and that was just part of a half hour monologue on creation norms, the culture of death, and the madness of a society

Maintaining Sanity in Today’s Insane World

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

So much of today’s discussion in our society is focused directly on foundational Christian truths, and yet most in the church are silent, or confused. We discuss more developments in the collapse of our society’s cohesion regarding sex, marriage, and simple human existence, and look at two videos, one including Jim Wallace, the other the “Amen Church” in Dallas.

Responding to Rome Including a Review of Indulgentiarum Doctrina

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line, Thomism, Uncategorized

Took a few minutes to look at the new Obscurity of Scripture book and its two references to me, which led to a discussion of Jason Stellman, and then on to the document Indulgentiarum Doctrina. Finished up the program with a warning about legislation being introduced in California, Washington, and Minnesota, giving the State the power to take away your

Lots of Topics on the DL Today

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Debate, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Had a lot of mini issues to discuss at the top, then looked at an example of horrible racism, then discussed Derek Webb’s comments on a video posted by Leighton Flowers, then looked at the language used by Credo Magazine in self-defining “orthodoxy.” ADDENDUM: I forgot to add the information for ordering that wonderful tomb-scene wooden artwork I showed on

A Multi-Faceted Dividing Line

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Covered a wide variety of things yet again on the program today, so a little something for everyone. Started off with the new Roman Catholic apologetics book against Scripture titled, “The Obscurity of Scripture,” and talked a bit about the obscurity not of Scripture, but of Rome itself. We also spent some time reading through Schaff’s discussion of Pope Honorius.

First Road Trip DL in NEW Mobile Command Unit!

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I am on the road, only about ninety minutes from home, doing a quick, brief shake-down run with the new fifth wheel. Have to test all the systems out to make sure we are ready to head to Utah in a few weeks for the debate at the University of Utah! We started out reviewing some of the key issues

What the Celebration of Perversity Tells Us, Then, Trent Horn and the Trajectory of Rome

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent the first portion of the program discussing what the “drag queen” phenomenon tells us about our culture today before shifting to a completely different topic based upon the debate on sola scriptura between Gavin Ortlund and Trent Horn.

A Twitter Based Dividing Line

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pauline Studies, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered the waterfront today, so to speak, applying Christian worldview principles to a bunch of stuff that came up on my social media feed, including designer babies, gay mirage, and a bunch of broke wokeness. Started preaching a few times, I’ll admit, and Squirrel did his best to distract me, too, that mischievous little rodent!

TMS and DMCA, Why I Don’t Worship “A Particular Relational Inflection”

, , Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

We had a technical problem at the start but managed to get in a full hour on the road once again, this time from West Texas. Addressed the Master’s Seminary issue relating to their filing a DMCA against the man who did the work to demonstrate the problems with Peter Sammons’ use of sources in an online class. This is

Road Trip Dividing Line: Gay Mirage, Mass, Biblicism

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Long day on the road today but I really wanted to get a program in as I may be speaking the next two nights (my trip plans have been changed due to weather). In any case, looked at bit at the two homosexuals and their designer baby story, took the time to clarify some false claims floating around regarding Thomas

Travel Project Announcement, “What is Marriage?” Debate Review

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

We did another Road Trip DL today from Lafayette, Louisiana where I will be speaking for the weekend. Started off with a run down on a major project we are undertaking during this, our 40th Anniversary year. We are hoping to trade in our current fifth wheel unit for one that will allow us to trade some of my sleeping

Views on Homosexuality, Interaction with Lindsay on Gnosticism

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with Pope Francis’ comments on homosexuality and the distinction of sin/crime, then looked at a progressivist on Twitter and his explanation of how he became “affirming.” Looked at a thread documenting comments Andy Stanley made to a group of pastors in 2019, and then finished up with a review of my brief discussion with James Lindsay on his

Why You Can’t Have a Gas Stove, Then Mormonism 101—Part 1

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

First half hour is on how the Regime’s attempt to get rid of gas ovens is, in reality, connected to everything else, including the insanity of thinking four year olds can “choose” their gender. Then we moved into Mormonism and, I will be honest, I just could not stop telling stories from all our thousands of hours of encounters with

New Year “Laws” in California Show Deep Commitment to the Culture of Death

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Talked about more than that, but it was a major portion of my thinking as I started off with Jordan Peterson’s announcement that the tyrants in charge of “psychology” in Canada want to send him off to a “training camp” to punish him for wrong-think. It is all theology: the culture of death vs. the culture of life. Climate, all

Profaning Marriage, More on Joe’s Cookies, End of Year Giving

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Offense, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Spent time at the start talking about Jerald and Sandra Tanner and the Utah Lighthouse Ministry’s years of faithfulness in light of Sandra’s retirement. Then we looked at Biden’s absurd rhetoric on the profaning of marriage, looked at Phil Vischer’s joining in that same absurdity, and then we talked about the German study documenting the direct correlation of mRNA vaccines

36 Republicans Vote with All Democrats to Join Senate in Telling God We Hate Him and His Ways

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

In light of the US House of Representatives voting to ask God to make us like Sodom and Gomorrah, like Chorazin and Bethsaida, we talked today for an hour about God bringing judgment upon nations outside of Israel (looking at Amos 1:13) and how the culture of death is the common denominator of all the insane, self-destructive things now being

America Tells God to Get Lost/Divine Revelation Cannot be Limited by Men’s Philosophical Systems

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Thomism

First forty minutes we considered what it means for the United States government to directly tell God to get lost, illustrated in the profaning of marriage act passed by the Senate yesterday. Then we looked some more at the series of articles on Matthew 24:36 posted back in October.

Road Trip Dividing Line: Secularism’s Emptiness, the Richness of the Trinity

, , Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Managed to get in a quick program this evening from St. Charles, Missouri. Went over some more evidence of the collapse of secularism and its rebellious insanity, and finished off considering some of the depths of divine revelation about the Father and Son at this time of celebration of the Incarnation.

Snuck a program in just before Thanksgiving and our next road trip, which begins Friday. Had some material for our home school kids, and then talked about how we read Scripture. Lord willing, see you all again next week from the road!

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Third DL of the week! We covered a lot of ground from the Senate and marriage to the assertion that if you are a biblicist you will not be able to fight the current cultural fights. Next Monday we will have some special guests in studio.

Mormonism’s Capitulation, Open Phones with Great Calls

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

We started off with the Senate’s consideration of the evil “Respect for Marriage Act,” which, of course, is the Disrespect for Marriage Act, and how the LDS leadership in Salt Lake City capitulated on basic Christian belief on the matter by favoring the passage of the bill. Then we took great calls on what it is to be Reformed, the

An Unplanned, Early Morning Dividing Line

, , Christian Worldview, Post-Evangelicalism, Sweater Vest Dialogues, The Dividing Line

We messed up planning the timing on recording a new Sweater Vest Dialogue with Doug Wilson, so, instead of pushing the day back an hour, we jumped on it and snuck in a quick Dividing Line before recording the SVD (which will be on the topic of Christian Nationalism). Rambled a good bit looking at the “election” in Maricopa County

Post Election Thoughts (Rebels Hate God), Van Til and the Use of Evidence (Matt Walsh)

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Two distinct portions to the program today, the first thoughts after the mid-term elections in the United States (we are a broken and rebellious nation), the second about the use of evidence and presuppositional apologetics somewhat connected to Matt Walsh’s appearance with Joe Rogan. I made mention of an online seminar coming up this weekend put on by Eli Ayala

Australian Birth Crash, Gospel Names, Exegesis and Theology

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Started off with a quick look at the simple crash in Australian live births in December of 2021–hmm, what could explain that I wonder? Then we talked about what seems like a really silly objection to the faith and how to turn it into a door-opening gospel presentation. Then I finished looking at the second in a series of articles

The Frankfurt Declaration/Responding to Craig Carter

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Persecution, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

First hour or so I was joined by Pastor Tobias Riemenschneider, one of the framers of the Frankfurt Declaration (Frankfurtdeclaration.com). We discussed the declaration, its purpose and function. Then I responded to Dr. Craig Carter’s inaccurate and unkind comments posted yesterday, once again focusing upon the real issue that is coming out of the development of this “Great Traditionalism.” Nearly
