Satan Playing the Long Game? What’s the Problem with the Critical Text?

Last updated on: April 6, 2016 at 4:59 am By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne Update: a good amount of discussion has ensued in response to this post, but mostly on Facebook. You can find some of the questions posed and my answers at a follow-up post here on my personal blog, theology like a child. Despite the picture and provocative caption that leads off this post, it is not really about the molehill that is Bart Ehrmann. It rather attempts to critically address, in a thoughtful way, the modernist /... Read more

Family Worship

Last updated on: March 30, 2016 at 3:01 pm By Jordan Cooper

On today’s program, I was joined by my wife Lisa Cooper to discuss family worship. We talked about the three most important aspects of family worship: prayer, catechesis, and hymnody. We discussed the practices that we have used ourselves, relevant Biblical texts, and contemporary resources to help in this practice. Here is the program Read more

Does the Bible Support Slavery?

Last updated on: March 29, 2016 at 1:20 pm By Jordan Cooper

In the age of 140 character arguments and memes, we have sometimes lost the ability to structure a coherent argument to argue for any particular ideological position, and, instead, simply throw out short pithy statements to defend our particular perspectives. Though I am, by no means, arguing that Christians are not also guilty of this, one of the groups that I most-often see utilizing short and un-researched arguments in memes, tweets, etc. are atheists. These misconceptions are then popularized, and brought... Read more

Christians are Evil Hypocrites Who Always Need Threats from the Law

Last updated on: March 28, 2016 at 4:11 am By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne “Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.” (Proverbs 27:6) First things first: I’m not anti-Christian and the “Law” in the title is referring to God’s law. If you’re disappointed though, please stick around. In the online Merriam Webster’s dictionary hypocrisy is defined as “the behavior of people who do things that they tell other people not to do: behavior that does not agree with what someone claims to believe or feel.”...

Regeneration and Repentance

Last updated on: March 18, 2016 at 10:29 am By Jordan Cooper

On today’s program, I was joined once again by Rev. Lewis Polzin as we continued our discussion of Henry Eyster Jacobs’ book A Summary of the Christian Faith. In going through the ordo salutis, we approached the topic of regeneration. This is, in my opinion, one of our best programs, as we addressed a number of extremely important topics including: the nature of regeneration, infant faith, baptism, repentance, the fruits of repentance, and the importance of pastoral care in the...

I Am Not Your Pastor, and That’s a Good Thing

Last updated on: March 16, 2016 at 2:28 pm By Jordan Cooper

After the recent flood of events surrounding a number of disgraced pastors who have gained a large following on the internet, things have become rather heated between pastors, laity, and many who have personal relationships with the pastors in question. It is true that more heat than light has probably been generated in this situation, and when anger and passions grow, people tend to speak rashly and act harshly toward those who disagree. All of this is unfortunate. I don’t... Read more
