BROADCAST ARCHIVES
On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts continue to interact with recent polls taken at a pastors convention on the importance of understanding theology and Biblical terminology. They also respond to the great number of pastors who preferred the sharing of one's personal testimony over the use of apologetics to reach outsiders.
How important is it to know what you believe and why you believe it? Should the average Christian be informed about doctrines like justification and propitiation, or are those only for academic types? On this edition of the program the hosts discuss these question and interact with some on-the-street polls taken at a recent pastors convention.
How deep is your faith? Has the faith "once and for all delivered to the saints" been dumbed-down in contemporary churches? On this edition of the program, the hosts discuss the shallow nature of both American Culture generally, and contemporary Christian faith and practice more specifically.
It is often said that Christianity is a relationship rather than a religion. On this edition of the program the hosts interact with this popular view, and attempt to demonstrate that the focus upon one's relationship with God apart from understanding doctrine has always been a disastrous approach throughout the history of the Church.
On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts continue to contrast the historic Christian gospel with numerous popular alternatives, especially those found in the religion and spirituality sections of major bookstores chains. In particular, the hosts interact with some of the bestselling books on pop-spirituality, as the continue their series "Christless Christianity."
Series: Christless Christianity
What are the "Gnostic Gospels" and why do books featuring these documents appear to dominate the religion and spirituality shelves of major bookstore chains? How do these documents differ from the traditional Gospels found in the New Testament? In addition to the regular WHI panel, this program also features an interview with Richard Bauckham, author of the widely acclaimed book, Jesus and the Eyewitnesses.
Series: Christless Christianity
On this edition of the White Horse Inn Michael Horton talks with Parker T. Williamson of the Presbyterian Lay Commitee and author of the recently published: Broken Covenant: Signs of a Shattered Communion, a book that recounts Williamson's personal history inside the liberal PCUSA church body, and which also expresses his concern for the denomination's future.
Series: Christless Christianity
What are the main differences between classical vs. liberal approaches to the Christian faith? In the 1920's, J. Gresham Machen argued that these two perspectives were in reality two completely different religious systems. Was he right? That's the focus of this edition of the White Horse Inn as the hosts continue their discussion of "Christless Christianity."
Series: Christless Christianity
On this edition of the White Horse Inn, Michael Horton talks with Dr. Andrew Sach, one of the authors of a new book titled, Pierced for Our Transgressions: The Glory of Penal Substitution, about the various popular, yet inadequate, theories of the meaning and significance of the cross of Christ.
Series: Christless Christianity
What is the proper role of tradition within the Christian faith? And at what point does traditionalism become a barrier to faith, or a distraction from the central message of Christ and Him crucified? That's what is on tap this week, at the White Horse Inn!
Series: Christless Christianity
What are the gifts of the Spirit? Are they still for today? Even if they are, is it possible that Christians in our time have placed too much emphasis on individual gifts, all to the exclusion of the gift giver? On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts will talk about the ways in which "Gift Centered Churches" help to promote "Christless Christianity" in our time.
Series: Christless Christianity
Too often, churches in our day focus our attention on Christian experiences rather than Christ. In the process these bodies have emphasized the subjective over the objective, personal testimonies over historical facts, and self-centered spirituality over Biblical Christianity. On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts discuss "experience-centered belief" as they continue their series, "Christless Christianity."
Series: Christless Christianity
Many Christians in our time read the Old Testament merely as a guide for moral lessons and instruction. But do the Bible heroes really provide good examples for good moral conduct? What is the best way to read the Old Testament? Tune in this edition of the White Horse Inn to find out.
At the core of just about every major religion is something we call advice, or a set of instructions intended to help you live a better life. But is that what lies at the heart of the Christian faith? Tips and instructions for personal transformation? Whatever happened to the Christian gospel?
In order to attract larger numbers, many churches throughout America have made their services more upbeat and entertaining. On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts examine this history of this confusion between Church and Theatre, as they continue their series "Christless Christianity."
Series: Christless Christianity
2008 is an election year and many churches will be distracted from their focus on the city of God, to the governments of men. What is the business of the church? Should it play a political role? On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts discuss the proper biblical relationship between church and state.
Why is Joel Osteen so popular? Is he a faithful representative of the Christian faith, or is his message more about self-help and personal motivation? On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts will examine the theology of this bestselling author as they continue their series "Christless Christianity."
Series: Christless Christianity
Many Christian leaders today point to Jesus as a good moral guide (WWJD), an inspirational figure of self-sacrifice, or one who resolves our problem with loneliness. And in doing so, these shepherds have managed to avoid one of the most central teachings of the entire Bible; namely Jesus' atoning sacrifice for sinners.
Series: Christless Christianity
Countless sermons in churches across the country focus on moralistic concerns and personal transformation. But has Christ gotten lost in the shuffle? Have we inverted Paul's warnings by intentionally preaching ourselves, and not Christ crucified? On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts introduce the new theme for 2008: Christless Christianity!
Series: Christless Christianity
Contemporary Christian worship is almost exclusively upbeat and "happy-clappy." But is this the type of worship that is pictured for us in the book of Psalms? Tune in to this "best of" edition of the White Horse Inn to find out.
