“By What Standard” Trailer, the 11th Commandment, and the CT Outrage Machine

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

Weighed in today on the controversy that managed to explode without my participation whatsoever on Tuesday related to the By What Standard trailer from Founders Ministries.  Addressed the trailer, the topics, the 11th commandment, and the critical theory movement that has made such massive inroads into the thinking not only of our society but the church as well. Here is

Critical Theory in the Church, the “Transient Text,” and Open Phones

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Discussed a pastor who asked a couple to apologize for theoretical ancestral racism (killed the church plant), looked a bit at Robert Truelove’s opening chapter on “the Transient text,” and then took phone calls on a wide variety of topics, including the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.  Just over an hour in length.  And don’t forget, we will be doing

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

, , 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

Beth Moore Sort Of Explains…But Not Really

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Theology Matters

Given I spent a good bit of time yesterday going over the words Beth Moore originally wrote on the subject of homosexuality and then had removed recently I think today’s article she posted should be read carefully and fairly.  I will be brief at this point: Mrs. Moore must know by now that there is nowhere to hide on this

The Nashville Statement, the PCA, and a Whole Lot More

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Spent a good bit of time today looking at the Nashville Statement in light of the Revoice/PCA/Greg Johnson situation last week.  What is ahead for the PCA? For all of us?  Also looked at some comments from Dr. Jamin Hubner on the same section of the Nashville Statement. Looked at some Bradly Mason claims, looked at a few other tweets,

The Tweet Heard Around the World: Explained, Defended, Vindicated, and What it Means to the Church

, , Abortion, Offense, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Went a little over 90 minutes today on my Saturday morning tweet that broke the Internet.  Had to deal with a whole lot of issues that came to light as a result.  Leave it to me to combine ethnicity and abortion in a single tweet! But it was important, and remains important, after all the dust settles.  Here is the

The DL Wins the Finals, Dr. Buck Reports on the SBC Annual Meeting, Dale Tuggy Wins the Strawman Award

, , Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had to have just a little fun at the start regarding our winning the Podcast Battle Royale on Facebook, just squeezing by (60-40) Sheologians, the podcast of Summer Jaeger (my daughter) and Joy Hunter, produced out of Apologia Studios, a ministry of Apologia Church, of which I am a pastor—so no matter how that went down, I was going to

So Chocolate Knox survived, and that’s really all you need to know.  Seriously, had a great time having the guys from CrossPolitic on the show today, we chatted about Matt Walsh, Rome’s gospel, and a bunch of other stuff.  Enjoy!

Started off the program playing an 11 minute clip drawn from the 2-hour hit piece posted by Drs. Hunter and Pritchett relating to my review of the methodology used by William Lane Craig in his interview with Ben Shapiro.  Then we finished up looking at Kwaku El’s claims about the Trinity, etc., and finished the 90 minute program with a

Gene Bridges comments on a Facebook discussion, Anthony Bradley continues to swing wide left, Greg Johnson comes out as a homosexual, Michael Heiser demonstrates he has not done even the most basic reading in Reformed theology, and Bruxy Cavey gets a tattoo that demonstrates he has no idea what God’s law is all about.  Wow, talk about eclectic!  Enjoy!

Spent the first half an hour or so looking at 1 Timothy 2 and the relationship of men and women in leadership roles in the church.  Then we talked a bit about Jeff Durbin’s encounter with Andy Stanley that took place just this morning (the recordings will be posted May 30 (I would have typed 5/30 but it was recorded

Pennsylvania Homosexual Representative, Choose Your CT, Beza and Matthew 1:23

, , Abortion, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Everyone is talking today about the homosexual Pennsylvania state representative who berated a Christian woman outside a Planned Parenthood abortuary, so we chimed in as well, and then moved on to make some more comments on what happens when you “swap CTs,” that is, when you trade covenant theology for critical theory.  The result is a big mess. Then we

Drawing the Lines: Matt Walsh, Serene Jones, Ron Underwood

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a live DL from London (Westminster) today via Zoom (worked really well!) discussing how we “draw the lines,” using three examples to provide us with some perspective for this challenging discussion.  We looked at Matt Walsh, Roman Catholic, who was interviewed on the CrossPolitic program last week.  Then we looked at Serene Jones, head of Union Theological Seminary, and

A morning DL for us here today, the only program for this week. We started with some commentary on current cultural madness and rapid decline, including a grandmother bearing a child for her homosexual son. Then we looked at issues relating to the atonement, first in comments from Taylor Marshall and Timothy Gordon on the Mass, and then from William

Cultural Observations on the Sexual Revolution, Mormonism, Racialism, and Calls

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Wow, what a mix!  Lots of material at the start on true biblical justice, avoiding mobs, how intersectionality eats its own (Martina Navratilova), and the use of the “crisis” to get things done now, even if what you are really doing is just pushing forward your ultimate agenda. Then we took calls on various topics, and then at the end of

A Twitter Convo, David Bernard Podcast on the Trinity, Open Phones

Began a rainy DL today with an interaction with a Twitter user (@BlackRepublican) regarding the foundational issues of the faith (once again—and one of the calls from our brother Kofi raised the issue again later), and then moved on to a brief interaction with Dr. David Bernard of the UPCI on the Trinity and soteriology (Bernard is the leading theologian

Took time to make some comments on Jemar Tisby’s new book, The Color of Compromise.  Please note I forgot to read through a key paragraph initially, so after the open phones segment I read that paragraph and made some comments thereon (right at the end of the show).  Then we finished up the relevant portions of Steven Anderson’s first video, and

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off the program thanking my hosts in Russia for a wonderful time there.  Then we looked at the document produced and signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam, Ahmed el-Tayeb, and commented on its actual content (unlike some articles that skipped that part and just went for the sensationalistic side).  Then we commented on the left’s drive for

A Quiet DL (Because James Has Almost No Voice)

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had some technical issues so the live stream did not go very well today.  Talked a bit about the trip to Owensboro and the upcoming G3 Conference.  Then looked at a few texts on the biblical teaching on the world’s hatred of the Kingship of Jesus, then looked at the Netherlands and their strong secular move against Christian belief within

Catching Up on Recent Events Before Leaving Town

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Caught up on a number of articles I had saved before I leave tomorrow for St. Charles and other locations (see the banner ads for details).  Right before the program started Dr. Michael Brown published an article about Twitter’s banning (ready for this?) “deadnaming.”  Yeah.  Deadnaming.  That’s like when you call Bruce Jenner…Bruce Jenner instead of “Caitlyn.”  So, in other

Beth Moore’s Racist Library and Open Phones

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off with a report on our dear brother Jeff Durbin’s current condition after a medical issue last evening.  Then we looked at a comment from Beth Moore about how you could, I guess, make your library more “inclusive” by considering the color of the skin of the author. You can guess what I said about that.  Then we went

Voting, Racialism, TGC Article, Chesterton’s Romanism in a Jumbo DL

, , Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Told the story of my voting experience today and talked a little bit about worldview implications at the start, and then turned to a Jemar Tisby series of statements attempting to parallel racial justice issues with the Pharisees and Jesus’ condemnation in Matthew 23.  Then we moved to Sam Allberry’s article at TGC on the Sexual Revolution, and finished up

Talked a bit about my trip to Scotland and Israel, and then moved into listening to Russell Moore’s comments on the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel, listened to Brandi Miller at Reunion2018 illustrating everything we have been warning about with clarity, and then finished up by looking a bit at Ed Stetzer’s interview of Andy Stanley.  Just over

President Reagan’s Faith, Interaction with Dr. Albert Mohler, Brief Comments on Justice

, , Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Started off expressing thanks for the recently discovered letter President Ronald Reagan sent to his father-in-law shortly before his father-in-law’s death in which Reagan gave a clear call to faith in Jesus as the only way of salvation. Then I moved to interact with and respond to some of the comments made by Dr. Albert Mohler of The Southern Seminary

Yes, I know, I said open phones, but I forgot to address the developments in China yesterday even though it was the first thing on my list. And then I ran across Union Theological Seminary’s invitation to apostasy, and I really needed to work through that as well.  Read a little bit from a Brannon Howse show that will make

The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel: Background, Exegesis, Application

, , Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Given that The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel was released today, I dedicated the program to the topic, the background of the statement, etc.  I also took time to provide some biblical reasoning from Revelation 5 and Ephesians 2, and then made application to social media statements that illustrate the corrosive effects of this movement within the church.

Looked at Bill Mounce’s article on “whoever” in John 3:16 (a second article, more recent than one I’ve addressed before), then moved on to the sad spectacle of Christians gleefully piling on TMS/TMU, including one graduate going after JM for daring to address the “social justice” controversy. Finished up a brief response regarding the real meaning of “color-blind theology,” what
