Grounded in the Gospel

How do you respond to people who believe that Christianity is based on myths and is not factually true? We asked pastors that question at a recent pastors convention, and their answers just might surprise you. Joining us in this special extended discussion is noted apologist Dr. John Warwick Montgomery.

George Gallup has commented that Americans revere the Bible, but don’t read it. In fact, poll after poll, reveals an increasing trend toward biblical illiteracy, not only among those outside the church, but also among those who describe themselves as “born again,” or Evangelical. On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts discuss […]

What is the book of Galatians about, and what doctrines does it address? We recently put questions like these to students at an Evangelical Bible college, and their answers reveal once again that Christians themselves need to recover Scripture. On this edition of the program, the hosts interact with these on-the-street interviews and explain why […]

On this program the hosts explain why Paul’s letter to the Galatians is a good place to begin in order to understand the basic message of Scripture. In this letter Paul explains the difference between the covenant of grace promised to Abraham, and the national covenant made with the people of Israel at Mt. Sinai. […]

How does one qualify for God’s heavenly inheritance? Does it come by obedience to the law, or by trusting the promise? In their continuing survey of Paul’s letter to the Galatians, the hosts further outline the distinctions between the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants, and point to Christ alone as the ground of our acceptance before […]

On this edition of the program the hosts discuss Paul’s allegory of two mountains, and two mothers in Galatians chapter 4. Why does the apostle argue that the present city of Jerusalem corresponds with Hagar, rather than Sarah? Why are the children of Mt. Sinai born in “slavery?” Though it may take a little work, […]

What does it mean to walk by the Spirit? How does our sanctification relate to our freedom in Christ and justification? The hosts discuss these issues and more as they conclude their five part series through Paul’s letter the to the Galatians.

Can we discover truth about God outside of the Bible, or is Scripture the only true source of heavenly knowledge? On this edition of the program the hosts will outline the distinction between general and special revelation. In the former, God reveals himself through creation, and in the latter he reveals himself in the pages […]

What is natural law? Is it consistent with Reformed theology? How about the Two Kingdoms approach to the relationship between Christianity and culture? Is this a Lutheran position, or has it also been held by advocates of the Reformed tradition as well? On this edition of the White Horse Inn, Dr. David VanDrunen joins the […]

How does God’s Kingdom advance? Can we usher it in by our political or cultural endeavors? Will it come if enough people band together in pursuit of social justice? But as the hosts discuss on this edition of the program, the Kingdom of God is not something that we build or bring in by our […]

What is your only comfort in life and in death? Learn the story behind the catechism and why it is such a rich text of theology and piety for Christians today.

Dr. Fred Sanders says that “The Nicene Line” is the most important line in Christian theology, grounding the identity of Jesus in his pre-existent deity and relationship to the Father.

Michael Horton and Kevin DeYoung discuss the history of the Filioque, reflecting on what they appreciate and, in Horton’s case, what he regrets about the Western addition to the Nicene Creed.

It was 1,700 years ago this summer that the first ecumenical council of the Christian church was called to the city of Nicaea in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) to confer about a Christological crisis that had arisen around the area of Alexandria in Egypt, due to the teachings of a presbyter by the name Arius.
