, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Explained why I am still here in Phoenix when I was supposed to leave today (I leave tomorrow). But mainly we focused on Pope Francis as well as a video clip attacking sola scriptura. If Francis passes, will you be ready to take advantage of all the opportunities to bear witness to the gospel of grace? This episode might help!

Developments in the US, Some Tweets I Forgot Tuesday

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Caught a few of the amazing stories coming out about how the left has used the US treasury as their own private slush fund, then moved on to a couple of tweets I forgot to cover Tuesday, one from Stephen Wolfe about a biblical theology of climate change, the other from Eric Conn about my desperation and irrelevance. Also covered

That Weird Pointy Hat Procession, then, Stephen Wolfe’s Smarter Worldview

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Went for a jumbo edition today in the big studio with the big board! Commented briefly about the Roman Catholic penitential procession video that made the rounds a few days ago, then we looked at Stephen Wolfe’s lengthy tweet about the term “worldview” and how we would be better off abandoning it. Hardly surprising, but I disagreed!

Stone Choir Cult Attacks Plus More

, , Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Ken Wilson, Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went a full 90 minutes today starting with Corey Mahler and the Stone Choir Cult’s attack on my last evening, followed up by Mahler’s amazing promotion of Marcion’s gnosticism. I used his false statements about the name Yahweh to go into church history and trace the damage that was done by the loss of the knowledge of Hebrew and how

The Post War Consensus then Gold from the Prophet Jeremiah

, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

I was said to be part of the “PWC crowd” in a statement this morning by a young social media type guy, so we looked at what the PWC is, a bit about R.R. Reno, stuff like that, then switched over to Jeremiah chapter ten and some great jewels provided in God’s glorious Scriptures.

How Denominations Die, How Movements Crash and Burn

, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with some of the current developments on the world and national stage, then looked at the amazing example of the National Prayer Service yesterday morning in Washington, and the leftist “bishoptrix” at the National Cathedral. How do denominations die? Where do they begin? Then we moved on to how quickly the anon army is abandoning the positions they

The Andrew Tate Saga Isn’t That Tough, Then, the Alleged Seventh Ecumenical Council (787)

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Pastoral Theology, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Is Andrew Tate “sinning in the right direction?” I am not even sure what that is supposed to mean, but we spent some time talking about Andrew Tate and the fascinating interaction Christians have been having with him. Then we just about burned the clutch out by shifting over to a discussion of “Ecumenical Councils” and specifically the so-called 7th

Wes Huff on Rogan, Sufficiency of Scripture, Some Calvin Robinson

A number of items on the table today including some words from Mel Gibson about the Pope, a discussion of Wes Huff on Rogan, the sufficiency of Scripture, and some more statements from Calvin Robinson prompting us to again ask Joel Webbon whether he would allow Robinson to commit trashworld to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

A Blast from the Past, Marian Devotion, the Book of Abraham

, , Debate, Mormonism, Personal, Resources, Roman Catholicism, Technology, The Dividing Line

A listener sent in the printed schedule of my events from my trip to New York in April of 1998, which I read through as evidence of the fact that Chris Arnzen tried to kill me back then! After a bit of that we looked at some Marian devotion issues relating to the gospel, and then focused in on the

End of Year Catch Up on Developments in the “Trashworld” Controversy

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Misc, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

The addition of Catholic speaker Calvin Robinson to the line up at the the Defeating Trashworld Conference in April has stirred up a lot of controversy, and properly so. Stephen Wolfe chimed in today with a tweet about his viewpoint on issues, so we really had to take some time to consider where this is all going, and what it

Pre-Advent Dividing Line

, , Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

One of the first things I said to Rich when we finished this program was, “How am I going to type THAT ONE up?” and he laughed. So let’s see. Talked about Biden’s disgusting “let’s burn it all down before we leave” campaign of pardons and commutations, Muslim hatred, a super cool Christmas card from a family in our church,

Insights from TurretinFan, and More on the Nazi Invasion

, , CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Talked a bit about how modern tech is allowing us to “read” ancient scrolls that have been fossilized over time, then looked at some insights, and corrections, from our friend TurretinFan regarding the TR, the book of Revelation, etc. Then transitioned into more recent developments into the influx of Nazi apologists into “Reformed” churches, and the Reformed men who are,

A Few Advent Thoughts, Then, Who Has Really Changed?

, , Eastern Orthodoxy, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with some seasonal thoughts about Incarnation, Crucifixion, the differing emphases between East and West on those topics, etc., and then transitioned into looking at statements being made on line attempting to create a false narrative that simply goes against history.

Last Road Trip DL for 2024 coming from Holbrook, Arizona this evening. Started off looking at Joel Webbon’s defense both of “anons” and using them to mock people “right off X,” naming Owen Strachan as an example. Then we discussed the encounter between Wes Huff, a Christian scholar and apologist, and Billy Carson, an Internet “influencer” of some kind, and

Return Road Trip DL from the Middle of Nowhere

, , Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Misc, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I am in western Oklahoma, just shy of the Texas panhandle, and I am truly in the middle of nowhere. But, we set up Starlink and got the job done! Pretty much went through a Twitter thread from a fellow named BG Apustaja and replied to his assertions about how I have become “unhinged,” which led to a discussion of

Frozen Road Trip DL: The Supreme Court as a Window into the Degradation of the US

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

I am parked in the frozen tundra of St. Charles but we still managed to spend an hour talking mainly about the oral arguments presented at the Supreme Court yesterday regarding SB1, Tennessee’s law prohibiting the use of chemicals on minors to “transition” them. It was a truly disheartening thing to listen to the entire session and realize that you

Got a program in from windy, and soon to be very cold, St. Charles Missouri, where I will be speaking on God’s response to the LGBTQ revolution this weekend, the 24th year I have spoken at Covenant of Grace Church. Talked a bit about “Reformedville” and happenings therein, eventually transitioning into the glorious truth of the sufficiency of Scripture from

Tobias Speaks, So Finally, So Can I

, , Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Road Trip, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

I promised Tobias Riemenschneider I would hold off on responding to the tsunami of ignorance-based, infantile slander on social media until he could speak his own mind, which he has now done. So, here is my commentary, and I am glad to get this over with. Very few times in my ministry have I had to wade through this kind

Thanksgiving Thoughts, the PWC

, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did my usual Thanksgiving thing and pointed out that it should, in fact, be “usual” for Christians to give thanks and to live in a state of thanksgiving. Then we looked at the new “thing” to be all excited about, “The PWC,” the post-war consensus. What is it, how do you define it, and how did it become the central

Welby, Lawson, and Christian Unity

, , Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, Transinsanity

Got an early program in (head out over the weekend again, so, time is short!). Discussed the Archbishop Welby resignation, new developments in the Steve Lawson saga, and then looked at statements from folks who are continuing to battle against a biblical view of Christian unity and of the nature of Christ’s Kingdom. Uncertain about whether we will find a

Trump is not King, Internet Mobs, 4th Grade Playground

, , Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with noting a fund raiser for Joshua Haymes’ little boy (kidney transplant) hoping our audience will pull together and help them over the top. Looked at some odd Jimmy Akin comments about Mary and sinfulness, then talked a bit about Trump’s promises and the real, honest mountains he will have to climb to fulfill them, and how unlikely

New Big Board in the Big Studio

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

So while I was gone Rich installed a new, bigger board in the big studio, so we had to try it out. Started with a discussion of the incredible amount of Nazi propaganda online these days, masquerading as Christian belief in supposedly Reformed churches. Lots of Confederates, Presbyterians, and 1689ers in the movement. Looked at a few posts and discussed

Audio Only Road Trip DL: Election Thoughts, Brief Rejoinder to R. Scott Clark

I’m at my last stop before getting home tomorrow on this trip, and it was a really long drive today, so I just didn’t have the energy to set up all the stuff for the regular video DL, so I recorded an audio only, 45 minute version with thoughts on the election, what we need to be doing for the

Road Trip Election Night Dividing Line

, , Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Don’t worry, really didn’t talk politics. Told some stories from the road, but spent the vast majority of the time working through Psalm 33, all to encourage us to wait upon the lovingkindness of Yahweh. Seemed quite fitting on a night light this, and had over 1000 folks watching! Hope it was encouraging to all who listened in!

Wow, covered a lot today! Rich will have to edit out a technical issue we had, but, we managed to get it all covered anyway. A bit about the election, and the amazing endorsement of Kamala Harris by the Babylon Bee! Hard to argue against their reasons! We talked about the Precious Moments figurines with weird connections to wild viewpoints
