Wed, 22 Jul 2020 04:00:35 +0000

This week we jump into one of the skeptic's most pressing and prevalent questions: If God is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful (as the Bible says), then why is there evil in the world?

It's a question that theologians, philosophers, and everyday people have wrestled with for centuries.

Fortunately, we're able to stand on the shoulders of brilliant thinkers who have worked through this long before us.

118. Marks of a Healthy Church Plant

Wed, 17 Jun 2020 04:00:01 +0000

Last week we chatted about Adam Ramsey’s article on Church Planting and the Idol of Immediacy. Shortly after, we realized that we spent a decent amount of time pointing out the dangers of this unhealthy way of planting, but we didn’t address what a healthy church plant actually looks like.

We build off of last week’s episode by pointing out more dangers of moving too quickly, but we also address what a healthy church looks like as well as what a healthy church plant looks like.

This week we were honored to have Jared C. Wilson in the studio (virtually) to discuss his new book, The Gospel According to Satan: Eight Lies about God that Sound Like the Truth.

If both point to Scripture, why does it matter?
Dangers of avoiding expositional preaching?
Dangers of being too heavy-handed on expositional preaching?

92. The Confessions: On Justification

Wed, 04 Dec 2019 05:00:12 +0000

How should we balance love for country and love for God? Should we not be patriotic? Should we not be proud of the country in which we live?

How can Christians both be patriotic and keep love for country in its proper place?

As Independence Day approaches in the United States, the topic today is focused on Christians and patriotism. This will probably be entirely uncontroversial…

Today they riff on God's communicable attributes. How do these differ from God's incommunicable attributes? Well, these are the attributes that God and mankind have in common. And as the guys point out, mankind and God have these in common not because God was made in our image, but because we are made in the image of God.

Oh, and Rick is apparently recovering from good ol’ Rita…

53. Theological Triage

Wed, 06 Mar 2019 05:00:00 +0000

The below is a brief outline of the term theological triage*.

First-order doctrines are those that are fundamental and essential to the Christian faith.
Second-order doctrines are those which are essential to church life and necessary for the ordering of the local church, but which, in themselves, do not define the Gospel.
Third-order doctrines are those which may be the ground for fruitful theological discussion and debate, but which do not threaten the fellowship of the local congregation or the denomination.

*Definition pulled from Part III - The pastor and theological triage
