Send a text No other story that has come out of the Southern Baptist Convention has done more damage to its credibility and expose all of the horrible corruption in it's highest levels. Get ready to hear about Bruce Ashford, the horrible things he was guilty of, and even worse, how SBC leaders knowingly covered it up. https://thewartburgwatch.com/2023/03/13/bruce-ashfords-spectacular-fall-fro...

Send a text In exegetical expository preaching, or preaching from the text to explain the meaning of the text, there are two main views on application. One view is that we should stick only to what the text says and avoid application. The other view is that we should feel free to carry the text to new places and apply it to the lives of the congregation. There are risks in both positions, but does...

Send a text A certain view of speaking in tongues is tightly knit together with the charismatic movement that's been influencing popular Christian culture in America for generations now.

Send a text There's an interesting connection between the direction secularists expect the world to go, and the direction many Christians expect the world to go, and it's not good. Literally. Let's compare this to a more hopeful, and hopefully Biblical, view of the direction the world is going, the end times, and eschatology. Support the show Support the Show! https://www.patreon.co...

Send a text Michael Foster, Pastor and author of It's Good To Be A Man, comes on to discuss  masculinity, something our culture hates and suppresses. Men today are tempted both inside and outside the church to get masculinity wrong by either embracing femininity or macho-ism. Foster lays out Biblical masculinity and femininity, and offers practical guidance to live out God's design for u...

Send a text In an age where we see popular Bible teachers falling all around us and giving into culture over Christ, we need to recognize what's really happening. Maybe there were always cracks in their theology that we never saw until it finally became obvious. If we claim some of the responsibility for not seeing many of these things coming, we will be able to prevent ourselves much better...

Send a text Everyone's going absolutely nuts over Jackie Hill Perry denouncing the Enneagram as demonic. That's nice and all, but there are much greater issues that should make us keep a level head about the whole thing. There's all kinds of far worse theology she needs to work out.

Send a text Let's discuss how the roughest story in the Bible that you may have never heard of is actually one of the most beautiful stories looking forward to Christmas. Not only because it directly relates to Christmas itself, but because it reminds us that Christmas wasn't just a sweet event that came out of nowhere, but was a beautiful climactic event that happened in the middle of a...

Send a text Everything in the Old Testament is leading up to Christmas, and everything in the New Testament is a consequence of Christmas. This is why we celebrate. In this episode, you'll learn how many major Old Testament events typologically point to the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ on Christmas morning.

Send a text We are excellent at coming up with things to replace God and his word. The authority of Scripture is important for Christians to affirm, but many Christians do anything they can to subvert that authority. In this episode I discuss the Biblical doctrine of Sola Scriptura and explore some of the objections to it by Christians who don't actually love God's word as much as they t...

Send a text Often, we Christians can find ourselves having more loyalty to Christian teachers, pastors, churches, and organizations, than we do to God. We think we're honoring God above all when we've fallen into honoring something else above all. The way we do this is often hard to spot, especially in ourselves, but also in others. A good sign that something is twisted is our reaction t...
