End of Year Catch Up on Developments in the "Trashworld" Controversy

Dec 30 2024 86 mins

The addition of Catholic speaker Calvin Robinson to the line up at the the Defeating Trashworld Conference in April has stirred up a lot of controversy, and properly so. Stephen Wolfe chimed in today with a tweet about his viewpoint on issues, so we really had to take some time to consider where this is all going, and what it all means. And I got distracted by my Apple Watch a few

Insights from TurretinFan, and More on the Nazi Invasion

Dec 19 2024 65 mins

Talked a bit about how modern tech is allowing us to "read" ancient scrolls that have been fossilized over time, then looked at some insights, and corrections, from our friend TurretinFan regarding the TR, the book of Revelation, etc. Then transitioned into more recent developments into the influx of Nazi apologists into "Reformed" churches, and the Reformed men who are, foolishly,

A Few Advent Thoughts, Then, Who Has Really Changed?

Dec 17 2024 94 mins

Started off with some seasonal thoughts about Incarnation, Crucifixion, the differing emphases between East and West on those topics, etc., and then transitioned into looking at statements being made on line attempting to create a false narrative that simply goes against history.

Mockery is not a Christian Virtue, then, the Carson/Huff Discussion

Dec 12 2024 64 mins

Last Road Trip DL for 2024 coming from Holbrook, Arizona this evening. Started off looking at Joel Webbon's defense both of "anons" and using them to mock people "right off X," naming Owen Strachan as an example. Then we discussed the encounter between Wes Huff, a Christian scholar and apologist, and Billy Carson, an Internet "influencer" of some kind, and Carson's claims that Jesu

Return Road Trip DL from the Middle of Nowhere

Dec 10 2024 81 mins

I am in western Oklahoma, just shy of the Texas panhandle, and I am truly in the middle of nowhere. But, we set up Starlink and got the job done! Pretty much went through a Twitter thread from a fellow named BG Apustaja and replied to his assertions about how I have become "unhinged," which led to a discussion of a lot of different topics. Rich said he enjoyed the show, so, there's

Frozen Road Trip DL: The Supreme Court as a Window into the Degradation of the US

Dec 05 2024 59 mins

I am parked in the frozen tundra of St. Charles but we still managed to spend an hour talking mainly about the oral arguments presented at the Supreme Court yesterday regarding SB1, Tennessee's law prohibiting the use of chemicals on minors to "transition" them. It was a truly disheartening thing to listen to the entire session and realize that you cannot even pretend the Christian

Road Trip DL from St. Charles

Dec 04 2024 63 mins

Got a program in from windy, and soon to be very cold, St. Charles Missouri, where I will be speaking on God's response to the LGBTQ revolution this weekend, the 24th year I have spoken at Covenant of Grace Church. Talked a bit about "Reformedville" and happenings therein, eventually transitioning into the glorious truth of the sufficiency of Scripture from Luke 24. May sneak anoth

Tobias Speaks, So Finally, So Can I

Nov 27 2024 111 mins

I promised Tobias Riemenschneider I would hold off on responding to the tsunami of ignorance-based, infantile slander on social media until he could speak his own mind, which he has now done. So, here is my commentary, and I am glad to get this over with. Very few times in my ministry have I had to wade through this kind of stuff, but here we go. Anyway, only those with a real inte

Thanksgiving Thoughts, the PWC

Nov 21 2024 70 mins

Did my usual Thanksgiving thing and pointed out that it should, in fact, be "usual" for Christians to give thanks and to live in a state of thanksgiving. Then we looked at the new "thing" to be all excited about, "The PWC," the post-war consensus. What is it, how do you define it, and how did it become the central issue in just a matter of a few months? Not sure when the next DL wi

Welby, Lawson, and Christian Unity

Nov 19 2024 70 mins

Got an early program in (head out over the weekend again, so, time is short!). Discussed the Archbishop Welby resignation, new developments in the Steve Lawson saga, and then looked at statements from folks who are continuing to battle against a biblical view of Christian unity and of the nature of Christ's Kingdom. Uncertain about whether we will find a way to sneak another progra
