Spent over an hour today digging deep into church history in light of the vital importance of sola scriptura. This is the kind of program that won’t elicit many loud “amens!” but will give you a foundation that will last a lifetime. That’s important.
Back in the saddle for the Dividing Line today. Reviewed the events of the past week, including the break-in, the conference, and the debate. Actually ran out of time, surprisingly! So, as promised, the post-debate review, etc., on the DL!
James takes calls today ranging from witnessing to mormons and talking reformed presuppositions with Dave Hunt. Lastly (55 minutes in) a caller asks about disqualified baptists and the Auburn Avenue viewpoints.

A Vatican official just said that we need an intercessor in heaven who understands the problems of the 21st century on earth. He was talking about John Paul II going to heaven to be an intercessor. I assure that official that the Lord Jesus knows all about the troubles of the 21st century.
Covered a WIDE range of topics today. Started off expressing our deep condolences to Tony Bartolucci and his family in the death of his daughter Giana.
