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

Well, we announced during the show today that I am now the official theologian for Skillet, so it was time to have the founding lead singer, John Cooper, on the Dividing Line!

Felt it would be wise to test our new technology before I do the Apologetics Roundtable tomorrow evening, so we did the program that way and I must say, it turned out well! A little warm (I am set up in the warmest room in my house, well, at least during the summer—surely the coolest for the few weeks of

Catching Up on the Revolution

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

Had a pile of articles to catch up with over the weekend since we did a Radio Free Geneva yesterday, including a BLM leader’s open promotion of black supremacy, Seattle’s anti-white rhetoric, and a Christian student kicked out of an allegedly Christian university for observing the obvious. Worldview issues abound as we face the open promotion of Marxist revolution in

I did start off with

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

Went an hour and 45 minutes today because we “covered the waterfront.” Talked about how Twitter is saying the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel is a dangerous website (could be a technical glitch, could be purposeful), and then discussed how we can have confidence that God’s truth abides with us today. Discussed Jonathan Merritt’s 1 minute video, looked

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

I forgot to address the presuppositional worldview issue relating to the Bostock decision on Tuesday, so I wanted to touch upon that, and then we transitioned into the play on words that BLM is using to promote Marxism under the guise of a sentence that actually only makes sense within the Christian worldview anyway.

Well I imagine the woke folks will be lighting the torches and grabbing the pitchforks (if they can get out of the Autonomous Zone in Seattle anyway) but we just had to deal with the flood of cultural Marxism flowing into the veins of evangelical churches right now. Looked at JD Greear’s comments (hopefully fairly) as well as some others,

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Islam, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a few minutes discussing the reality that a lot of us are facing: how do you have any sense of “normal” anymore when the future looks to troubled, so difficult?

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.

Two major parts to the program today.
