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

Trump is not King, Internet Mobs, 4th Grade Playground

Nov 14 2024 70 mins

Started off with noting a fund raiser for Joshua Haymes' little boy (kidney transplant) hoping our audience will pull together and help them over the top. Looked at some odd Jimmy Akin comments about Mary and sinfulness, then talked a bit about Trump's promises and the real, honest mountains he will have to climb to fulfill them, and how unlikely it is Republicans have the backbone

New Big Board in the Big Studio

Nov 12 2024 74 mins

So while I was gone Rich installed a new, bigger board in the big studio, so we had to try it out. Started with a discussion of the incredible amount of Nazi propaganda online these days, masquerading as Christian belief in supposedly Reformed churches. Lots of Confederates, Presbyterians, and 1689ers in the movement. Looked at a few posts and discussed the fact that people like Co

Audio Only Road Trip DL: Election Thoughts, Brief Rejoinder to R. Scott Clark

Nov 06 2024 45 mins

I'm at my last stop before getting home tomorrow on this trip, and it was a really long drive today, so I just didn't have the energy to set up all the stuff for the regular video DL, so I recorded an audio only, 45 minute version with thoughts on the election, what we need to be doing for the next four years, and thoughts on the advance of the culture of death represented in this

Road Trip Election Night Dividing Line

Nov 05 2024 73 mins

Don't worry, really didn't talk politics. Told some stories from the road, but spent the vast majority of the time working through Psalm 33, all to encourage us to wait upon the lovingkindness of Yahweh. Seemed quite fitting on a night light this, and had over 1000 folks watching! Hope it was encouraging to all who listened in!
