The title for today’s program came from Rich. Blame him. Started off talking about the quotation I had posted on Facebook and all the guesses—none of which were right. The quotation was from Dr. Yasir Qadhi, so I fleshed that out as far as worldviews, evangelism, apologetics, etc. Then we discussed the wishful effort to “orthodoxicize” Martin Luther King’s views on the resurrection of Christ, as well as some comments made by a Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) professor about James Cone. Introduced a new phrase, “virtue twerking,” then spent the longest period of time analysing a 3:18 long video from Reasonable Faith (William Lane Craig) on “What About Those Who Never Hear?” (found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HORwhXSgelQ ). Finally finished up with a few more minutes of response to Jay Dyer on the topic of sola scriptura. 90 minutes today!

Started off with my 3 minute presentation to the Phoenix City Council from last Wednesday, then moved into a pretty full analysis of Ekemini Uwan’s comments at the Sparrow Conference focused on the “wickedness of whiteness.” Looked a lot at the critical theory foundation to her views. Then we fired up the Radio Free Geneva theme and looked at a portion of Leighton Flowers’ comments on a recent Unbelievable webcast on the topic of “meticulous providence.” Nearly two hours worth today!

Tomorrow I will be doing responses to critiques so I wanted to start off the year with a more positive presentation based upon going in-depth into the Scriptures, something I know most in our audience really enjoys and benefits from. I would have to deal with these texts in the context of my response tomorrow, so this way we can keep the replies from becoming massively long. Enjoy!

I continue with my review of James' debate with Prof. Leighton Flowers on Romans 9. The new narrative gets fully formed today and we see further insight into how far the method will go to misrepresent core concepts of Calvinism let alone the mishandling of scripture that leads to it.

Should evangelicals really agree with about 88% of Thomas Aquinas’ Summa? Well, that is what was claimed in a recent article in the Master’s Seminary Journal, so today we tackled that subject, hopefully in a respectful and brotherly fashion. I had intended to get to the Hess/Pallmann pseudo-review, but will have to hold that off till the next program. I should have realized this topic would take too long! But, hopefully, a lot to think about today.

Final Dividing Line of 2022. Asked for prayer for Dennis Pillay and his wife in South Africa as end-of-life issues confront them, that God would give comfort and strength. Spoke a bit about the self-made, completely designed and intentional “energy crisis” around the world, and finished up responding to Derrick Brite on the role of Thomas in defining Christian orthodoxy.

Spent some time at the start on the rise of woke religion, Pastor Warnock from Atlanta supporting the evil of abortion, etc., but the majority of the program was focused on key texts relating to election, atonement, and salvation, working through issues raised by a discussion I've been having with Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee. We worked through 1 Timothy 2, Hebrews 7, Romans 8 and John 10. For those who enjoy exegesis and theology, this will be your kind of program!

We covered the waterfront today to be sure, looking at all sorts of topics from Twitter and other sources, statements from seminary professors, people promoting the woke church, you name it. 90 minutes of Christian worldview application, starting off with a little jingle from John Cooper about “Woke Christmas.”
