Dead to Sin, Alive to God

Religious Exclusivism, Political Pluralism, and Human Flourishing
07/02/2020 Duration: 53minAll religions, including (perhaps especially) the regnant secular religion, are exclusive. They simply exclude different things.

Why Do We Neglect God’s Works?
14/01/2020 Duration: 31minIt’s stupefying that God requires we search out and ponder and relish and express gratitude for His works, while this topic is almost never expounded or even mentioned today.

Beware the Privatizers
25/10/2019 Duration: 39minThe Christian Faith is inherently public, and if it’s merely private, it’s not genuinely Christian. Gnosticism, ecclesiasticization, the Radical Reformation, Pietism, Revivalism, and Darbyism — all these have engendered a distorted, privatized Christianity.
-
Modernism and Postmodernism: A Christian Analysis
21/10/2019 Duration: 01h02minOurs is a world awash in Modernity and Postmodernity. They have dismantled Christian culture — from Baudelaire to Derrida, Stravinsky to Queen, Joyce to Lyotard. Modernism eats itself alive as Postmodernism. The only cure is a return to reality — creation ... the Triune God.
-
Shaken and Unshakable
20/10/2019 Duration: 43minWe should be shaken by the tumult in world, because God is doing the shaking. He is very loudly shaking away the evil, because it is not his will to give peace to a rebellious world. Just as he shook and pulverized apostate Judaism to make way for the true Jewish church (Christianity), so he is shaking and pulverizing the apostate gentiles to make way for his comprehensive kingdom. We should rejoice in his earth-shaking victory.

The Nature of Science and the Evolutionary Worldview
30/08/2019 Duration: 37minThe words “science” and “religion” are often depicted as irreconcilable opposites. But what is the worldview behind that perspective? Is it a valid representation of reality? How do we respond to the claim that religion and science should stay in their own lanes? Is Darwinism a reasonable explanation of the origin of the universe and the development of life on earth?
-
Critical Theory: The Worldview Behind the Disciplines

The Christian Foundations of Science and the Impact of Darwin
21/08/2019 Duration: 36minModern science was launched almost exclusively by Christians and on distinctly Christian premises. In fact, modern science would’ve been impossible apart from a Christian worldview. Darwinism, by contrast, is an atheist explanation of the physical world that dehumanizes man and trashes creation.
-
Critical Theory
21/08/2019 Duration: 22minConventionally conservative groups like the Southern Baptist Convention have tried to champion Critical Theory, the analytical tool of Cultural Marxism devised by the Frankfurt School of the Weimar Republic and transplanted to the United States by men like John Dewey. This podcast is a simplified explanation of Critical Theory and a brief critique, showing that it is contra-biblical, self-refuting, and culturally destructive. To attempt to maintain it as a critical tool “within a Christian context” is to betray a fundamental misunderstanding of what it actually is.
