Some 2,000 years ago, Jesus was born in Bethlehem. But why did God become man? What was his mission, and why did he have to eventually suffer and die? On this special Christmas edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts will discuss the work of Christ, our Prophet, Priest, and King. Joining the hosts on this program is Dr. W. Robert Godfrey, President of Westminster Seminary California, and author of An Unexpected Journey, Discovering Reformed Christianity. (Originally broadcast December 25th, 2005).

Christless Christianity
Explore AllChristless Christianity ’08
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!
Crossless 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.
Joel Osteen: A Case Study in American Religion
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.”
Political Temptations
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 […]
That’s Entertainment
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 the history of this confusion between Church and Theatre, as they continue their series “Christless Christianity.”
Good Advice vs. Good News
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?
What Would Moses Do?
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.
I Come to the Garden Alone
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 […]
Gift Centered Churches
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 […]
Tradition & Traditionalism
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.

Looking Back and Looking Forward
I’ve experienced some significant anniversaries recently. Two years ago, it was the 30th anniversary of the church I serve. Last year, it was 25 years of working with Michael Horton and Sola Media. And this year, my wife and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary.
What the Jews Heard at Pentecost and Why It Matters for Infant Baptism
When Peter stood up at Pentecost, his audience was entirely Jewish. What did they hear when he declared that “the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself” (Acts 2:39)? What they heard would have immediately governed their covenant practice […]
A Congregation of the Passover
One cannot exaggerate just how critical the sequence of events recorded in Chapters 11, 12, and 13 of Exodus is in the history of Israel, the church, and the world. What God does, says, and reveals to his servant Moses and his covenant people still resonate with God’s people today as the Lord […]
