Ed Shaw, Church Split, Provisionism

James White, February 9, 2022, Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Homosexuality, Molinism, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yet another Road Trip Dividing Line, of course, this time looking at a clip of Ed Shaw on how his homosexuality has made him “more like Jesus,” a quick listen to the opening of a “book review” of the “low hanging fruit” book called The Potter’s Freedom, a quick response to Leighton Flowers thinking that there is no difference between

Live from GBTS with Jeff Johnson and Owen Strachan

James White, February 3, 2022, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I finished six hours of lecture and immediately set up to do a DL in the lovely library area of Grace Bible Theological Seminary and was kindly joined by President Jeffrey Johnson and by Provost Owen Strachan to talk theology and a little history as well!

Thoughts On Faithfulness in an Uncertain Future

James White, January 20, 2022, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Personal, Road Trip, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We did the program from the Mobile Command Center today as a means of testing things out before I hit the road this weekend. I also wanted to test a touch screen we have obtained that should allow me to do mot of what I do on the Flip Board in the Big Studio, but while traveling. And it worked!

Catching Up on the March of the Secular Monster

James White, January 18, 2022, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Musings, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

So we webcast on two platforms now: YouTube and Odysee. We have freedom to talk about vaccines, Covid, mandates, and the outrageous behavior of the left, while on Odysee, but not on YouTube, which censors anyone who would talk about those things from the “wrong” viewpoint. This means I no longer really have the freedom to do a few stories

Catching Up on the Culture of Death

James White, October 28, 2021, Christian Worldview, Musings, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Covered a wide variety of topics, starting off with a little information about our next trip (which you can help with here if you feel led to do so!) and then diving into current events focusing upon the rise of the Culture of Death. We looked at the new PCUSA “Climate” hymn, at the explosion of celebrations of perversity, the

Road Trip #2 Live from Conway, Arkansas

James White, September 27, 2021, Misc, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The second evening of the mini Conference on the solas is just 90 minutes away so we snuck a quick program from the AO Mobile Command in talking about the trip, what’s coming up at G3 and elsewhere, and responding to Soteriology 101’s paid advertising campaign looking to get “converts from Calvinism.” I wandered all over the landscape, to be

Redefining Family, Chic Racism, Horse-Dewormer, Religious Exemptions

James White, September 7, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Misc, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

I do not know how to title a wide ranging program like today’s! We discussed the Buttigieg adoption scandal, Jory Micah’s racism, the amazing crash of Ivermectin from 2015 Nobel Prize winning drug to 2021 horse-dewormer, and then a lengthy discussion of medical exemptions, including the statement Apologia Church has produced on the topic. I also read through an attack

Max Lucado’s Apology for Having Spoken the Truth, Ravi Zacharias Scandal, and Yes, Mildred, He’s a Postmillennialist

James White, February 16, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Went long today, so get a deep seat in the proverbial saddle! Spent quite some time on the Max Lucado debacle wherein he apologizes for having spoken the truth 17 years ago—a truth that is now “hurtful.” Then we moved on to the Ravi Zacharias scandal and developments therein. Finally I finished up with about half an hour on last

TikTok Lady Theologian Refuted, Comments on Dr. MacArthur and Losing Down Here

James White, January 27, 2021, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a thorough review of a United Methodist woman’s claims about the Bible and homosexuality, working through key texts. Then listened to what Dr. MacArthur said about postmillenialism and “losing down here,” and offered a response. Hope we get to do another program, but must admit, we said more than enough on this one program to have us removed in

A Requiem for a Republic, Be Faithful Unto Death

James White, January 7, 2021, Christian Worldview, Musings, Offense, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I had intended to read through the entirety of John Adams’ statement from 1798 regarding the Constitution yesterday, but events made it wiser to wait till today. We read through Adams and basically, for an hour, discussed the true foundational issues driving the cultural revolution that is destroying the West and leading us into a global socialist disaster. We expose

Grogu Watches the Dividing Line

James White, January 5, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Got your attention, didn’t it? Well, I did start off introducing Grogu, one of my Christmas presents, but that’s just my way of saying we covered so many topics today I could not come up with a title that would do them justice. So we did a lot of Christian worldview analysis (am I using that phrase correctly?) today looking

Isaiah 9:6, Variant in the LXX

James White, December 29, 2020, Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off with a little Christmas story relating to my new sweater (wait till you see it!), then a little discussion of the speed at which the world has changed in 2020, then finishing up with a discussion of the textual variant found in the Greek Septuagint at Isaiah 9:6.

Catching Up on Events

James White, December 15, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We covered the waterfront today to be sure, looking at all sorts of topics from Twitter and other sources, statements from seminary professors, people promoting the woke church, you name it. 90 minutes of Christian worldview application, starting off with a little jingle from John Cooper about “Woke Christmas.”

Approaching the Subject of Baptism Fairly, Group of Current Events

James White, November 30, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Exegesis, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a short discussion of how I will be approaching the series on baptism I have begun preaching at Apologia Church, then moved into a whole series of recent events that I’ve been collecting that all point to the impact of the secular worldview and the rejection of the Christian view of man in the ongoing push for

Lewis’ “Prophecies,” Cosmic Reconciliation, the Beauty of Creation

James White, November 23, 2020, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Musings, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Jumbo edition today at ninety minutes covering some of the thoughts of C.S. Lewis on the coming technocracy, then finally getting back to Colossians 1 and “reconciliation” related to the atonement debate between Matt Slick and Sam Shamoun, and finishing up with a discussion of the beauty and order of God’s creation.

Psalm 82, the Judge of All the Earth

James White, September 28, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Started with brief comments on last week and my little adventure at high altitude on Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, and then moved into Psalm 82, looking at its message as the foundation for considering the legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We then made application regarding the current controversy over the Supreme Court, and then talked about events in Moscow,

Todd White Discovers Spurgeon, Timothy Cho, Free Speech, TR-Onlyism

James White, July 28, 2020, Debate, Misc, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Started off with a brief clip from the now famous Todd White sermon from two days ago, then talked a bit about Timothy Cho’s tweets, one on the nuclear family, the other on face masks. I spent a few minutes going over my arguments on the mask mandates in response. Briefly talked about a student kicked out of student government

Another Potpourri Show!

James White, July 21, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Started off with two videos and a little report from the weekend (including my having the awesome honor of baptizing two of my granddaughters, Kadence and Clementine). Then I showed off my new Jeffrey Rice/PTL LXX set and talked about this coming Sunday’s sermon at Apologia on compatibilism. Eventually we made it around to the subject of Mormonism and modifications

Supreme Court and Churches, Remember that Covid Stuff? Hyper-preterism Debate

James White, June 2, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Misc, Musings, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Meandered around a bit today touching on the fact that Rich is French, that “Parler” should probably be pronounced with the French pronunciation (and yes, I have joined Parler, @Eleutheros), that the Supreme Court declining to give an injunction in California, while disappointing, isn’t the end of the world, and some other stuff about the current melt-down in the US.

Four Open Phone Calls, Leighton Flowers Says I Only Use “Biased” Sources

James White, May 22, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Mormonism, Musings, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

We started off with four phone calls on various topics from around the country, and then listened to some comments from Leighton Flowers insisting that I never use unbiased sources in my response to Ken Wilson. Then we had a little church history discussion before signing off for the week. About 84 minutes or so.

Gene Kim, Steven Anderson, TRTrads—and a Word to My Fellow Reformed Believers on the Supernatural

James White, November 5, 2019, Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Had some fun with a new video from Gene Kim, played a new RFG intro, looked a little at Steven Anderson and the TRTrads, delving into issues of textual criticism, the transmission of the text, etc. Then for the last 20 minutes or so transitioned into an important discussion about the supernatural and the life of the Bible-believing, sola scriptura

Joshua Harris’ Rainbow Adventure, Religious Freedom, Critical Theory, and the Founders Trailer

James White, August 7, 2019, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent some time looking at Joshua Harris’ swing into the LGBTQ world, then looked at issues of religious freedom, critical theory, and that whole area of rapid development. Then I got into the Founders Trailer for “By What Standard,” developments since the program from Colorado, my complete face-plant error in not knowing any of the relevant background (or players), what

Romans 1:32 Illustrated

James White, July 12, 2019, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism

συνευδοκέω is a Greek term that means “to agree with, give approval to.” It is found in the final verse of Romans 1 where Paul describes the final state of human sin, one in which mankind, knowing the just judgment of God against sin, not only still engaged in it, but “gives hearty approval” to those who join with them in

All Authority is Given to the Risen Christ, Immaturity is Now the Rage, the Jenkins Piece on Sovereign

James White, July 11, 2019, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Started out with a brief study on Matthew 28:19-20 and the incredible words of Jesus, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” Do we really believe that? It matters. Then I looked at the plague of immaturity in Western culture, tying together three different threads in current events. Then I briefly looked at an RNS

“Those Who Hate Me Love Death.” —Godly Wisdom

James White, April 2, 2019, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Theology Matters

The news is filled with stories of the world expressing its hatred toward the faith and its express intention to take away the liberties and freedoms of anyone who will not bow the knee to Caesar (in our day, celebrate homosexuality, profane marriage, admit that women are men and men are women, abuse children, and, of course, murder children in

2017: The Year in Review (Update: Fritz Erbe Video Now Linked)

James White, December 29, 2017, General Apologetics, Musings, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line

Took the whole program to review 2017 and consider a little bit about trends and things to consider for the future. UPDATE: the kind brothers and sisters at Sovereign rushed to get the video I noted about Fritz Erbe posted. Here is the link. Please share it with others! Here is the YouTube link: Live Video Stream The Dividing Line

Stability, Order, Foundations, Adiaphora, and a Bible-Based Trip Down Memory Lane

James White, September 14, 2017, Christian Worldview, Misc, Musings, Personal, The Dividing Line

Had more streaming problems today (yes, we are considering outside interference, but for now, there really isn’t much we can do about it) so we recorded the program again. Spent most of the time looking at Colossians 2:5-7 and what it means to be stable, grounded, disciplined, and what this means in our present context. Then we took a little

A Thursday Morning Thought

James White, March 30, 2017, Musings, Uncategorized

The fanatical dedication of the slaves of the Culture of Death should shame those of us who follow the Life with such little passion & zeal. ἐγὼ ἦλθον ἵνα ζωὴν ἔχωσιν καὶ περισσὸν ἔχωσιν.

Why All Lives Matter

James White, July 8, 2016, Christian Worldview, Musings

Black Lives Matter! Police Lives Matter! All Lives Matter! And so goes the chanting, the memes, the blog posts, the Facebook arguments. And in the midst of it all, something fundamental is being missed. Sure, there is a great deal of emotion right now. The thin skin of civilization has been punctured and we are all aware (even if we

An Hour Long Discussion About What Matters: Freedom, Dividing Lines, Catholicity, the Lordship of Christ

James White, November 13, 2015, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Don’t even know how to describe today other than, “I’ve wanted to address these issues for a long, long time. Let’s do it.” Many will disagree, but hopefully, will think hard about why, and that’s the important issue for me. Sounds a bit cryptic…just listen and you’ll figure it out! Here is the YouTube link:

The New Secular Fascism

James White, June 29, 2015, Musings, Uncategorized

Of course you can have religious freedom: as long as that freedom does not show itself outside of the confines of your cranium. It cannot influence your words, your acts or anything else that would remind me that I am a rebel against the God I know is there (but refuse to honor and worship). —The New Secular Fascist living
