Grogu Watches the Dividing Line

, , 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

Response to Rick Warren on the Nature of the Church and More

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

Started off with a little cancel culture expose, then looked at this ultra-creepy, “Let’s out-Orwell Orwell” UK website encouraging folks to mind-read their family, friends and neighbors and snitch on them to “highly trained Prevent officers.” Talk about repulsive. Then we moved on to Rick Warren’s amazing statements about the church’s “weakness” of only having “worship.” Warren’s ecclesiology has been

A Bunch of Woke Stuff, then Underappreciated Incarnational Texts

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a few miscellaneous developments, such as Hungary’s stand on the family, and then moved to texts that teach incarnational truths but that normally get glossed over, from Mark and from John 6. I had intended to address a particular KJV Only argument, and to respond to some Roman Catholic claims, but simply spaced both as time was short! But,

Catching Up on Events

, , 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.”

Story Time with Uncle Jimmy, The Scythian Test in Response to J. Ligon Duncan

, , Church History, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Two pretty much equal parts to today’s program: first half a Story Time with Uncle Jimmy where I read some materials from Willam Tyndale that are challenging and yet encouraging. Then we listened to the clip from Dr. Duncan wherein he says that his black friends can properly have trust issues with him because of what people who look like

Approaching the Subject of Baptism Fairly, Group of Current Events

, , 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

, , 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.

German Police And More

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

Played the video of German police breaking into a live streaming session of an anti-lockdown advocate at the start of the program. It is truly getting real. Talked about the Austrian attempt to enforce its secular “European values” in respect to “political Islam” as well. Covered a bunch of relevant topics, but, also was joined by Josh and Daren from

Who We are Subject To, and a Response to Jimmy Akin on Pope Francis

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Spent the first half hour discussing how Jesus, as King, subdues us unto Himself, and what practical meaning that will have in the coming months and years when Caesar demands our submission to him in opposition of Christ. Then I responded to a statement from Jimmy Akin on the topic of debates and specifically why I believe today’s Roman Catholic

Big Brother Watch, Lessons from Acts 12

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

Today is my granddaughter Janny’s 5th birthday! Yay! Has nothing to do with the show but that’s OK. Went through news stories on such topics as Norway criminalizing private comments that would be “offensive” about transgenderism and the like, and then closed up with a run through of Acts 12 and the myth of neutrality.

Where We Stand: How Church History Can Help, But Only So Far

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism

I have seen many speaking about how generations in the past have encountered and endured persecution, and this is a vitally important truth that we should be speaking of regularly. We should speak to our children, regularly, about the persecuted church, and how we could be called to face the very same kind of physical persecution, suppression, and attacks that

An Incarnation Story (Prologue of John), Family Memories, Debate Challenges

, , Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Took a trip down memory lane to tell an “Incarnational Story,” in reality, to look at a key design element of the Prologue of John that has deep and important theological significance. Took a deep breath and didn’t try to rush today, just told stories and wove them into the narrative before discussing the Pope’s spin brigade. Then we talked

Post Election Rambling for Christians

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Outside of saying we did talk specifically about the Equality Act and how it will fundamentally do away with the first Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, we sort of just pondered what looks like, at the moment, the possible outcome of the messed-up, in some places, very corrupt, election, especially as this impacts believers and the work

Pre-Election Day DL with Psalm 33 and JD Greear

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

Jumped all over the place today, to be honest, on a number of topics. One was my insistence that you need to buy and actually read, or listen to, Abigail Shrier’s Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. I can’t recommend it too highly, even though it is not a Christian work, and hence cannot provide the final answers.

I Voted—Why? And More, Then Back to Reconciliation in Colossians and Ephesians

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

Covered a number of issues relating to the ongoing social revolution around the globe, including police threatening to break into homes to check for “improper” Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations (and people not wearing their masks 24/7), then discussed my vote, why I voted as I did, and that I truly believe my vote was a vote to be able to

WEF’s Utopia, Live Not By Lies, the Slick v. Shamoun Debate

, , Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Could have easily gone for a mega version today, but closed it down at 1:45 in length so I could catch the Doug Wilson/Kurt Jaros debate live. Started off looking at The Great Reset, the WEF’s move to bring the entire world into a global, socialist technocracy, using a virus, and climate change, as the catalysts. Then we talked a

The Pope, the Red Pill, the Muslims, and John Piper

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

Pope Francis certainly gave us plenty to talk about and so we did, but connecting the current controversy to a wider reality about his beliefs. We then looked at Tim Staples trying to deal with the Roman Catholic view of Islam as found in Lumen Gentium 16, so if you are dealing with Roman Catholicism, this show should be helpful.

Responding to Tim Staples on Catholic Answers Live on Sola Scriptura

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Offense, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

If you are active in reaching out to our Roman Catholic friends and family members, this is an important program for you. We spent most of our time going deeply into a clip from CA Live on “tradition” in the Bible. Then we played a brief clip from the British Parliament on critical race theory that was real encouraging, and

The Grinch Comes to California, Open Phones

, , Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off commenting on the MANDATORY guidelines for “private gatherings” in the Soviet Socialist State of Kalifornia (i.e., Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings), and noting that this will become a permanent aspect of our lives if we fall into the abyss of socialism on November 3rd. Then we took calls on a wide variety of topics, but a major portion of

Lots of Topics to Finish the Week!

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Zoomed through a ton of stuff on Covid-19, attacks on religious liberty, the big tech censorship at the start of the program. Reviewed Michael F. Bird’s article, then worked through Dr. Edmondson’s CT article as well, and finished up with a full refutation of Chris Thomas’ false accusation that I reject the first section of the LBCF. An hour and

Jemar Tisby, Woke Ideology, then Jeff Riddle’s “Shocking” Statements

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

For the first hour we thought through the conclusion to a presentation from Dr. Jemar Tisby, considering standpoint epistemology, whiteness, etc. Then I looked at the “shocking” statements I made in the debate with Dr. Riddle on the TR. Ninety minutes. We will do another program, Lord willing, on Friday.

The War on Language: Part 1

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Offense, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started a series of responses to the influx of “woke ideology,” today looking at the need for defining language clearly by listening to some comments from Dr. Tim Keller. Then we moved onto the controversy that erupted last week over comments from Jeff Durbin regarding woke theology at the conference in Franklin.

A Little Covid Madness at the Start, then the Hyper Skepticism of the TR Only Movement in Light of Mark 1:1

, , Atheism, CBGM, Christian Worldview, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Read the Great Barrington Declaration and talked a little bit about my hopes that common sense will finally overthrow the tyranny that has entrapped most of the globe, and then completely changed directions and launched into a discussion of the wealth and value of the Greek manuscript tradition in light of the hyper skepticism expressed by Jeffrey Riddle during our

Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden? The Real Issue with TR Onlyism

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Two topics on today’s 70 minute program: first, we look at the statement from a group called Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden, and demonstrate that the influence of neo-Marxism upon the Woke Church is truly profound. Then I did a lengthy review of the debate we did this weekend with Dr. Jeffrey Riddle on the Critical Text vs. TR Only positions

Nope, That Was Not a Debate

, , Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

For the first ten minutes I was “Twitter distracted” and talked about “dead air nightmares” from my youth. I guess you could say the first hour was loosely connected to the Presidential Food Fight from Tuesday night, while the last 20 minutes was on the actual debates that will take place Friday and Saturday between myself and Dr. Riddle. But

Psalm 82, the Judge of All the Earth

, , 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,

Last Program for a Week—Enjoy!

, , Abortion, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a wide range of topics today. Started off with Tim Keller’s tweets regarding voting and abortion, then moved into Anthony Bradley’s assertion that the Puritans would be alt-right racists in 2020. Talked a little about the CDC’s promoting critical race theory, and then read an article by a “former Christian” feeding into the panic from HuffPo. Finished off (starting

The Wrath of the Lamb

, , Church History, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Started off with a few minutes in Revelation 6 and how we must first see the importance of a text in its original context. Then we looked at craziness from Hawaii with pandemic-panic lockdowns, the CDC inadvertently admitting masks are all a political ploy, Jemar Tisby’s retweet of BLM, and some updates on the coming debate with Jeffrey Riddle on
