Pastor John Samson once again guest hosts The Dividing Line. Having previously established that formal Church Membership is a biblical requirement, he now discusses what it entails as God’s intended blessing for disciples of Christ. Here is the YouTube link:

After a brief discussion of being “strangers and pilgrims” on this earth, we went to the phones and had a really good range of calls on subjects ranging from the Greek of Ephesians 2 to a lengthy discussion of annihilationism.  Next week John Samson will be filling in for me while I am ministering in Salt Lake City! Here is

Tackled some “that Pope Francis is quite the guy” topics at the start today, including the sighting of Rick Warren, paddling about in the Tiber River as well.  Then took calls on various topics such as inerrancy and Tony Campolo. Here is the YouTube link:

Started off with comments on tomorrow’s Dr. Drew Show, then did a reading/review of Jordan Cooper’s article about the ESV, and then managed just a few minutes more review of Anjem Choudary.  We will be doing a DL, Lord willing, “on the fly” on Wednesday when I return from California, if possible.  We will have to announce the time once

Originally Published on: May 18, 2015 @ 13:52 We have begun the process of moving all of our audio files over to Sermon Audio. At this moment it appears that we will be uploading approximately 2000 recordings which will cost us $1 per recording to move. We are hoping that folks will be able to assist to defray this as well as

First 45 minutes drew on a number of articles I’ve clipped over the past week on the rise of the Big Brother state.  Big Brother is here…but who knew he’d be gay?  (Actually, Orwell called that one, too: remember that section in 1984 where the was explicit discussion of the destruction of the family in the form of husband/wife relationships

Had some technical difficulties about  40 minutes in which knocked out the video feed, but that didn’t impact the program much at all.  Started off talking about Bruce Jenner—honestly, without “newspeak” (have you read 1984 yet?) and with honesty.  Then moved on to some of the comments made by David Barron in a recent debate with TurretinFan, demonstrating the presuppositional

In the first half hour I discussed various articles I had saved for the program, and then in the second half hour got to reviewing the debate between Anjem Choudary and Sam Shamoun.  Didn’t finish the review, so will pick it up next time!

I ended up spending the entire hour reviewing this article by Adrian Warnock.  I had not expected it to take the whole program, but,  better thorough than not, someone said!

Started off looking at issues relating to the rapid degradation of Western society, moved to a discussion of the upcoming debate in SoCal, and some comments relating to criticism posted of doing debates with Muslims over the weekend on FaceBook.  Then we took calls on both the LGBT issue and on Romans 9. Here is the YouTube link:

Went over some of the events during my trip to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (including dodging tornadoes) and then briefly commented on a portion of the Romans 9 debate, then took calls on a variety of topics, including synergism/monergism, Chris Arnzen re-launching Iron Sharpens Iron, a call on “cooperation” in the SBC, and one on 1 Timothy 4:10. Here is

Reviewed my ten days in Texas, leading up to some brief comments on the Leighton Flowers debate, and then took some calls, one of which was from someone who attended the debate itself.  The second was on the subject of the “free offer of the gospel” and what that means. Here is the YouTube link:

A special show in response to Leighton Flowers’ pre-debate video. Just want to interact with a few specific items. Here is the YouTube Live link:

After two RFGs and a program dedicated mainly to the rapidly advancing cultural and moral revolution, discussed the slaughter of 147 Christian students in Kenya based upon their being challenged to say the Shahada (and how this should call for the most vociferous condemnation by believing Muslims worldwide); then we went over a recent Bart Ehrman blog article attempting to

Spent the majority of today’s program reviewing recent developments in the rapidly accelerating collapse of morality and ethics in the West, along with the rising totalitarianism of the left.  Looked at a recent episode of The Good Wife and its tackling of religious rights vs. the absolute necessity of redefining marriage, and then read with some horror the words of Frank

On today’s DL broadcast, guest host John Samson takes us verse by verse through Acts 16:1-15. There is much to learn about mission strategy as it relates to the circumcision of Timothy, the closing and the opening of doors for the gospel, and God’s activity in opening the heart of man.

While never rising to the same authority as sacred Scripture (which alone is the word of God), the ancient creeds and confessions of the Church have served the people of God through the ages as concise and precise summaries of what the Bible teaches on very vital matters. These include, amongst others, the doctrine of God, the person and work

Talked about the long, slow and painful demise of the PCUSA, along with the odd confusion on the part of the leadership of the LDS Church on the marriage issue as well.  Then looked at a horrific article by Mark Sandlin twisting language and the Bible, and then started taking calls on a number of issues, including theonomy, inerrancy, and

Looked at a number of stories on the cultural front, observing how the tsunami of compromise and abandonment of biblical authority is on-going.  Then we finished up the hour with an examination of Leighton Flowers’ view that individual Christians today are not given by the Father to the Son (only the Apostles were).  The cost of importing human autonomy into the
