Jimmy Carter’s Legacy: Was He a Christian President? (Ep. 199 Audio)

Jimmy Carter was one of the most outspokenly Christian presidents of the modern age, but was he an accurate representative of Christianity in the public sphere? His view of Christianity was that his beliefs should not impact his decisions or inform his policies, a view that many professing Christians shared at the time.

In this episode, we examine the legacy of Jimmy Carter, both during his time as president and in the years that followed. Please join us as we consider this topic.

Does the Church or State have Authority Over Marriage? (Ep. 198 Audio)

Who has authority over marriage? When a man and a woman are married, the official often says something like, “by the power vested in me by…”. But what does that mean and it is even remotely Biblical? Does the civil government have any authority over marriage? What about the church? And do people need to get married in a church by an ordained minister for the wedding to be recognized by God?

In this episode, we want to look at many of the different issues that relate to authority over marriage. We look at the Old Testament passages where God frames and defines the institute of marriage, and then discuss how this design plays out in society as the civil magistrate, the church, and the family, each of which are divinely-appointed authorities, work together at times and in other ways against each other. Marriage is both simple and complex. The union itself is fairly straightforward, a man and a woman are joined together – two previously separate people now become one flesh, but because marriage is the foundation of societies and nations even small errors in how we understand that union can have huge impacts.

25 More Ways Christ’s Conquest is Seen in the World (Ep. 195 Audio)

Eschatology may not be the most important doctrinal position, but it does greatly impact how we view the power and application of the Great Commission. Christ is the second Adam and as such he is carrying out the dominion mandate in a way that completely eclipses the work of the first Adam.

In this episode, we want to look at two particular areas where Christ’s dominion has shaped the world: the sense of shame for sin, and bringing order to the world.

When Christians fail to recognize the work of God in the world, they either end up calling good things evil or giving the credit for the good things they have received to something other than God. This is unbecoming of the people of God.

Christ’s has been given all authority, his Holy Spirit has been sent into the world to convict it of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment (none of which are narrow in scope), and his servants go forth in the world every day, shining forth the light of God and constraining the sin around them. It is wicked and foolish to believe that his work has not accomplished great things. Please join us as we examine a small part of what Christ has done. May his church glorify Him, for He is great!
