America, Behold Your God [of “Civil Religion”]: the Underlying Meaning of Gay Marriage and Other Incoming Issues (Summary)

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 5:41 am By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne A few days ago, Pastor Cooper posted a link to an excellent podcast discussing the idea of gay marriage from a biblical perspective. In the podcast, he also talked about a recent article on the topic by the popular Eastern Orthodox theologian David Bentley Hart. Pastor Cooper’s analysis is very helpful and I highly recommend checking it out. And yesterday, on my blog, I posted a lengthier piece addressing the issue of gay marriage – arguing... Read more

Response to the SCOTUS Decision on Gay Marriage

Last updated on: June 27, 2015 at 3:13 pm By Jordan Cooper

I recorded next week’s program early due to a trip I will be on next week. On this program I responded the recent Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage. I asked the question: does this issue matter? and answer in the affirmative. I discuss how important it is for Christians to defend the orders of creation and give a response to these important issues. Here is the program. Also, if you have an Android device, check out the Just and... Read more

Martin Luther: Christ Means to Draw the World’s Wrath and to Pick a Fight

Last updated on: June 24, 2015 at 7:02 am By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne And as my pastor puts it, summing up Martin Luther’s interpretation of John 16:8-13, “The Holy Spirit wants to subjugate the entire world to Christ.” Please note, when it comes to picking this fight, this means striving to make Him, not yourself, the stumbling block. The pictured book is a fresh translation into English of a sermon on John 16:8-13 that originally appeared in 1544, two years before Luther’s death. As Paul Strawn, the co-editor of... Read more

Matthew 7 is Not About Obsessive Introspection and Fruit-Checking

Last updated on: June 19, 2015 at 9:17 am By Jordan Cooper

In 2002, Baptism missionary and preacher Paul Washer preached what’s often known as the “Shocking Youth Message,” to a group of Baptist young people about true and false conversions. In this message, Washer rejects the “accept Jesus into your heart” mentality that captivates so many baptist churches. He rightly argues that repentance is a daily reality for the Christian, not a one time event. Yet, for all that Washer gets right in this message, there are some glaring issues. One... Read more

Faith is Not an Object of Sight

Last updated on: June 17, 2015 at 7:21 pm By ericphillips

(by Eric Phillips) Our Epistle reading for this past Sunday included the well known verse that says, “We walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7). In context, St. Paul has just assured his hearers that “if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens” (5:1). That is, if this body dies (and we know that will happen some time), we have... Read more
