Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing in its cultural significance. As we move into an age more and more influenced by AI, it is important to think about the big questions.Can AI produce art?
This is something we think little about. But Scripture obligates us to be diligent in this area, and the statistics give cause for concern.This is a helpful example of a church working to facilitate training of future pastors: https://x.com/JeffreyPWiesner/status/...
In this video on the Baptist Landmark movement of the 19th century, I will focus on its origins, and two of its central claims.
Why Do We Call God Father? Son? Holy Spirit? This is a brief survey of the eternal processions in God as it is found in Scripture, in Christian history, and in clearer dogmatic statements such as what is found in 2LCF 2.3.
Should Christians attend marriage ceremonies that countenance unbiblical unions? The short answer is, "No." But watch this episode to find out why.
How were our 17th century Baptist forerunners arguing for believer's baptism?

How are we to understand the relationship between the Old and New Testaments given progressive revelation?
Was Noah's flood global? Short answer? Yes!This video is intended to interact with Gavin Ortlund's recent podcast arguing for a local flood.
Every Christian has wrestled with this question at one time or another. Are you under a divine microscope? Is it possible for God to change from loving you to not loving you?
How should both law and gospel inform our understanding of sanctification? How does the gospel relate to the good works flowing our of God's work of sanctification in the lives of Christians?
How should we understand the incarnation and how it relates to our reading of Christological passages in Scripture?
I finish up the series by looking at some of the language of the JFVS regarding baptism, its law/gospel distinction, and lastly its doctrine of justification.
What does the Joint Federal Vision Statement state concerning God the Trinity?BOOK MENTION:Trinity & Creation by Dr. Richard Barcellos — https://www.amazon.com/Trinity-Creation-Scriptural-Confessional-Account/dp/1725280345/ref=sr_1_1?crid=28WCJUFYCTFPF&keywords=Trinity+%26+Creation&qid=1701228953&sprefix=trinity+%26+creation%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-1
What does it mean to "be a man"? It seems the answers to this question are manifold today. In this episode, I hope to bring some clarity by ordering our thinking properly.
What do law & gospel have to do with our justification before God? This is one of the most important questions both Christians and non-Christians can ask.
Christian liberty is a gospel issue. But why? Join me as I consider this wonderful doctrine.
Some do not believe Baptists should apply the term "Reformed" to themselves. Others differ. I will try to shed some light on the issue.
From abuse to neglect, the doctrine of the universal church has been the subject of much controversy over the centuries. But, when rightly understood, it becomes an important doctrinal and practical consideration for Christ's people.
It's exciting to talk politics, speculate on Bible prophecy, and fantasize about the rapture.But do we ever think about God's churches?
What's the relationship of Kenotic Christology to open theism and/or process theism?In this episode, I will define each of these terms and discuss the connections.
The Beatific Vision seems antiquated today. Much less does it appear to belong in Baptist theology. Join me as I briefly explore what the beatific vision is, and also where we can find it among the Baptists.
This second and final part on Mormonism seeks to bring Christian orthodoxy into a confrontation with the Mormon distinctives discussed in the first part.
What is the only ground of our communion, comfort, and dependence upon God?Join me as I discuss 2LCF 2.1-3!
This first part on Mormonism surveys history, ecclesiology, and doctrinal distinctives of the Mormon organization.The second part will be the Christian response, looking at Scripture & historical Christian theology.
A course on how to apply Christian orthodoxy in our response and outreach to the cults.
Some are under the impression Mormonism is a Christian organization. This is not true. Join me to find out why!
There is an identifiable Christian orthodoxy the church has always believed. Those who would reject it or twist it do so to their own exclusion from Christianity.
Smaller Baptist churches across the country are struggling to keep their doors open. Why?
Join Peter and I as we discuss the doctrines of grace, primary & secondary causality, and human responsibility.
Check out Peter's related book here: https://www.amazon.com/Reprobation-Gods-Sovereignty-Redeeming-Biblical/dp/0825447437/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3C5HA4586FRN1&keywords=peter+sammons&qid=1691460771&sprefix=%2Caps%2C290&sr=8-1
Another interview on the Broadcast. This time, on biblicisms! Leading up to our August 9th - 10th Conference, "Confessing the Faith".
Where have Christians agreed on baptism? Where have they disagreed? After I flesh out the Baptist position, I'd like to trace lines of both continuity & discontinuity on baptism in general throughout the years.
What is epistemology? How should we think about it? How should we NOT think about it? Presuppositionalism, classicalism, realism, critical theory—join me as I talk about it all in this episode.
The active life serves the contemplative life according to our Lord in Luke 10:38-42. Let's hear the ancient John Cassian on our Lord's words to Martha & Mary.
Does Postmillennial Theonomy mix law/gospel, or the covenant of works with the covenant of grace?
Join Dr. Renihan and I as we discuss the Particular Baptist response to the 17th c. heretic, Thomas Collier, through the means of a young but gifted Nehemiah Coxe.
Should Christians flee "blue states" in order to fight blue states? What about local churches in those states?
Moral, Intellectual, Cardinal, and Theological Virtues. What are they? Join me as I jump into this HUGE philosophy and Christian theology area.
Augustine, De Libero Arbitrio (On the Free Choice of the Will): https://spot.colorado.edu/~pasnau/4020/augustine.pdf
Benjamin Keach & Thomas DeLaune in their notable work 'Tropologia', use several German Lutheran Reformers to support various Scriptural observations.
Last week, we introduced worship. This week, we begin looking at the details--beginning in the Old Testament; its circumstance, confinement, complexity, and anticipation.
This is a pilot sermon edition of the Broadcast, where sermons preached at Victory Baptist Church are uploaded here & on all podcast platforms.

While this isn't a review or endorsement, I just wanted to comment on my enjoyable experience and thoughts on this book so far.
The ancients had the games. Today, we have sports, books, movies, and video games. All of it—entertaining. All of it—easily abused. But where is the sin? Is it the "thing" or man's approach to the "thing"?
What are the three uses of the law, and how does each relate to the law/gospel distinction?
Is the gospel a "new law" which we must obey in order to inherit "final justification"?
Broaching the subject of my message at the upcoming law & gospel conference on May 5-6. The apologetic use of law & gospel.
Place of Conference:

Understanding the nature of good works helps us to understand why the Reformed could simultaneously praise & condemn the works of the heathen.
John Owen, as well as some contemporary postmillennialists, interpret 2 Peter 3:10-13 as having already occurred in 70 A.D. Is this correct?
Is the doctrine of inseparable operations (ISO) biblical, historical, or even pastoral? Let's explore the embarrassment of riches we have in this lofty doctrine.
Does the law & gospel have any persuasive power toward those who do not believe? With some important qualifications, I believe it does. Join me as I explore the apologetic value of law & gospel.
There are various kinds of legalisms. But one kind of legalism is ecclesiastical legalism, where we take it upon ourselves to make the rules for God's church. But if Christ is the Lord of the church, we have no right to usurp His role as the church's law-giver.
We hear a lot about biblicism today. What is it? And what are some of the reasons it's dangerous?
There is much talk of Gnosticism. On the one hand, it's a prevailing cultural heresy found even in secularized and agnostic circles. On the other hand, it seems to be the "go to" charge against opinions we don't agree with. So, what is Gnosticism?
Here, I look at John Arrowsmith to help us understand what is meant by the phrase, "without body, parts, or passions," in the Confession. I dialogue concerning the doctrine of simplicity and the doctrine of actus purus.
In this third part of a short series on the difference between Baptists and other traditions, I ask the question, "What are the differences between Baptists and Roman Catholicism?" I cover part 4 out of seven differences between us and Rome (baptism) in this part.

It has become increasingly unclear among some as to whether they affirm a bodily resurrection, or a resurrection of our selfsame bodies. Among these is Gar DeMar.
Is Scripture the highest authority, or is it the only authority? There is a surprising world of difference between these two positions. Join me as I navigate the foundational doctrine of Sola Scriptura.

God is holy, and so is His will. How does this square with evil? Join me as I discuss essential volition and permissive volition.
Neo-Kenoticism takes texts like Matthew 24:26 and infers ignorance in the Person of Christ, not only according to His humanity, but also according to His deity. Such error reflects a need for partitive exegesis and whole-Bible interpretation.
What is the kingdom of Christ? Is it distinct from natural or secular institutions? Does it overlap?
Is it true unbelievers are covenant members in an objective sense? This is an important question because the answer really determines whether the new covenant is attained by grace alone or by the participant's faithfulness.
Doug Wilson is often disparaged on tonal grounds. I am not the tone-police. Instead, I have prayerfully chosen to address three concerning doctrinal issues in Doug's theology which I feel are significant enough to warrant some heavy pushback. This is just something initiatory in view of producing more content along these lines.

Here, I attempt not to criticize theonomy as a position, nor criticize my theonomic friends. Rather, I try to point out how some who hold the position may inadvertently run the risk of advertising what amounts to a conservative version of the social gospel.
With the Greek language comes the concepts it was historically used to convey. The Apostle Paul, while no Aristotelian philosopher, certainly assumed an Aristotelian philosophy of being as all educated persons largely did in the 1st century.

Today, my guest, Scott Meadows, and I will be discussing the first half of 2LBCF ch. 1, Of the Holy Scriptures. What's it's historical context? Does it sow the seeds of presuppositionalism? Our hope is that this episode will be clarifying as to the meaning of the first chapter of the confession, especially as it regards pars. 4-5.
We have covered a couple of key items already: the word "tradition," and the apostolic nature of the great tradition. Here, we situate the great tradition in relation to Scripture.
In the first part, we looked at the word "tradition." In this part, we will define the great tradition as apostolic tradition.
I've decided to talk a little bit about a short series on 2 Thessalonians 2:15 we are going through at victorybaptistkc.org. I have quite a bit of material, and I'm amassing more. So, this may turn into a video series here. Stay tuned!
Does John 10:30 only teach that the Father and Son are one in purpose? Or, does it more strongly and predominantly refer to their unity of essence?
It is crucial that we discern between what is proper to divinity and what is proper to the creature, especially when it comes to our Christology. Our Lord necessarily implies a distinction between His divine and human natures in John 12:44. Both Poole and Aquinas pick up on the distinction in their commentary.
John Gill offers eight formal lines of evidence supporting the claim of Scripture's divine origin and authority.
Truth is our goal. Dudes can be distractions. Doctrines are much better.
Response to James White's accusations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcqFs0_0wzc
Why is Confessionalism important? What is it? Join Steve Meister and myself as we discuss confessionalism then and now.
Brother James White has accused me of formally declaring him a heretic (I have not), and of lying about his position (I have not). If you watched the Dividing Line from April 21, 2022, please watch this.
There are three basic schools of apologetics: classical apologetics, evidential apologetics, and presuppositional apologetics. Why am I no longer a presuppositionalist? I hope my answer comes in useful for some.
Must emphasis has been placed upon the obvious discontinuities between Calvin and Aquinas. But this has largely come at the expense of transparently observing the continuities between the two thinkers.
Often, church attendance is seen as something unnecessary to the life of the professing Christian. Yet, church is the place in which we commune with the saints and benefit from the graces and the people Christ shed His very own blood to secure.
What does Athens have to do with Jerusalem? What does philosophy have to do with theology? This is an important relationship to understand. I hope I can help clarify the question and its related concepts.
On a recent Dividing Line, James White called into question Matthew Barrett's use of "doctrinal development." I took this as an opportunity to address this very important and practical issue.
Hermeneutics is the science of textual interpretation. In this case, it is the science of Biblical interpretation, specifically. How do Bible readers derive meaning from the text? Is it in virtue of understanding what the human author intended and what his historical audience would have understood? Find out in this podcast.
This is a walk-through of Edward Feser's FirstThings.com article and its critical observations of Jeff Johnson's book, 'The Failure of Natural Theology'.

Some have proposed Old Covenant Israel is the "root" in Romans 11, and it is that Israel in which the Gentiles are "brought in." But in light of a broader reading, is this a tenable interpretation?
How are we to understand an eternal covenant of redemption in God in light of a single essence in three relations—Father, Son, and Spirit? In other words, if there is but a single will of God (will is a property of essence, not person), how are we to understand the Father sending the Son, the Son being sent, etc.?
Westminster, Particular Baptist, and General Baptist Christians universally affirmed what is not termed "hyper-simplicity" in the 17th century as is further demonstrated by the General Baptist publication, 'An Orthodox Creed' in 1678/79.
Is the classical or confessional doctrine of divine simplicity and extended version of what everyone used to confess? Is it just philosophically bloated speculation? Some of our brothers have made this claim. But is it true?
Some have recently utilized both Dr. Richard Muller and John Calvin to downplay any place for natural theology. What we will see is that neither Muller nor Calvin remove natural theology altogether from Reformed thought.
How would a 4th century Cappadocian inform today's controversy over ERAS? Let's take a look...
In this video I perform some analysis of Dr. White's use of Basil, Basil's intended meaning through some exegesis of his letters 234 & 235. And then I move to show the profound and surprising agreement Thomas Aquinas and Peter van Mastricht have with Basil, contra Dr. White's point.
The majority of Christians have not articulated divine simplicity and other scholastic doctrines in terms found in historical systematic theologies. But does this mean the majority of Christians have not believed it?
Are philosophy and theology opposed? Are the the same thing? What is the relationship between these two very important themes?
In this episode I discuss several distinct points of confusion when it comes to the doctrine of God, from the identification of divine attributes to the three persons in which the divine essence exists.
Why are opinions contrary to the Nicene Creed or the Apostles' Creed deemed to be heretical? Is it because the creeds are autonomous authorities in addition to Scripture? Is it because church councils bear equal weight to that of God's own Word? In this podcast I try to wrestle with these questions in a meaningful way.
Another discussion is currently rising out from under the already tumultuous waters of current discussion concerning what heresy is. The term "heresy" has been employed to describe ESS and other errors having to do with the doctrine of God. But the use of that term is being contested. This shows there is disagreement as regards heresy itself. What is it?
In a recent podcast, Dr. Owen Strachan unloaded a volley of texts in favor of eternal subordination of the Son (to the Father). Using John 3:16 as an example, I want to show Strachan's use of it subtly identifies God with God's works.
Traditionalism is today's fad. It should be subjected to careful scrutiny. A final analysis will reveal that traditionalism is nothing but the same zeal without knowledge with which Paul charges the Jews in Romans 10.
There is a very qualified way in which theologians have used the term "motion" in relation to God we should all be aware of.
From James White to Jeff Johnson, the assertion that each Person of the Trinity possess their own distinct self-consciousness, or self-awareness, is being taken for granted. We should deny this with all vehemence.
Hopefully, I can make some clarifications here and help my interlocutors understand where the classical theists are coming from.
There are some theological assumptions we must make and readily accept in the biblical interpretational enterprise, e.g. a doctrine of God.
Lately, it has been the fad to out Thomism as another step toward Romanism. But such a fad is leading many not to differ with Thomas so much as it's leading them to deny Augustinian theology proper, which has always been understood to be nothing short of apostolic doctrine.
Why must we maintain strong theology proper in terms of immutability and simplicity? Because the rejection of it is also the rejection of all objective meaning.
Jettisoning truth because of its association with a person is a fatal mistake for any theologian to make, as is hopefully made obvious here.
Why does it seem like the doctrine of God is being relegated to a secondary or even tertiary issue?

William Lane Craig's article on the historical Adam is set to make a splash, even before his book on the matter publishes. While he affirms a historical Adam, he gets there through the natural sciences rather than the text of Holy Writ—choosing instead to mythologize most of Genesis 1-11.

Dr. Owen Strachan has shot more than one canon ball over the bow of those who have departed from theistic personalism and presuppositionalism. These shots over the bow have been quite embarrassing from a scholarly perspective, to say the least. In this video, I will once more labor to demonstrate the natural theology of the Reformers and the post-Reformed, much of which is in continuity with Thomas and other medieval thinkers.

Landmarkism began in the 19th century. It proclaims the Baptist church as the only true church, and it unqualifiedly denies the universal church. Is it correct to do so? Did Christians, including Baptists prior to the 19th century, really miss this doctrine for almost 2,000 years?
