Continuing their brief series through First Corinthians, the hosts this week take a look at the issue of meat sacrificed to idols. Though this might not be a hot issue on the front burner of today’s church, this text helps us to see that believers sometimes bring their Pagan practices and habits into the church. Yet as the Apostle Paul instructs in his letter, everything we do must be examined in light of the gospel of Christ.

Christ in a Post-Christian Culture
What is the proper relationship between Christianity and culture? How does one faithfully witness to Christ in our increasingly secularized society? On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts attempt to answer these questions as they introduce the new theme for 2009: “Christ in a Post-Christian Culture.”
Re-Thinking Christ & Culture
Some Christians retreat from secular culture while others attempt to influence or govern it. Which approach is more Biblical, the Amish approach or that of Constantine? That’s the topic for this edition of the White Horse Inn, and joining the program for this discussion is Dr. Craig Carter, author of Re-thinking Christ & Culture: A […]
The City of God
On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts continue their discussion of the relationship between Christianity and culture, focusing in particular on Augustine’s important contribution to this conversation as found in his classic work, The City of God.
Creation, Fall & Redemption
What was God’s original purpose for mankind, and how did that purpose change after the Fall? What are we to do now that we have been expelled from Eden? And is this banishment eternal, or is there another way back to God’s presence? These questions and more will be discussed on this edition of the […]
The Foolishness of God
What is the most important task of the Christian Church in our time? Many Christians think the answer to that question has to do with some form of cultural transformation.

Christ in a Pre-Christian Culture
How should we preach Christ in a Post-Christian culture? Surprisingly, the answer to that question is best discovered by examining the way the Apostle Paul preached Christ in the context of his Pre-Christian culture. So on this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts are beginning a brief series walking through some of the […]
We Preach Christ Crucified
Countless churches across the country offer relevant messages week after week that focus on wisdom for life, tips for marriage and family, money management, etc. But the Apostle Paul preferred a message of foolishness. Though “Greeks search for wisdom,” he wrote, “we preach Christ crucified.” What are the implications of this approach in our own […]

Three Tips for Surviving the Spiritual Wilderness
God leads us through the wilderness to teach us to depend upon his daily provision and to show us what’s in our hearts. Trials are a window into our spiritual condition. They will either refine faith or expose faithlessness. If we’re going through something difficult and our response is to lash out and sin, God […]
Making Our Bed in Hell
[I]nstead of having no words to say, we can say with a heavy heart and an unfailing faith that there is a day coming with no sorrows. A great High Priest who knows more about being forsaken and sorrowful unto death than any of us. The clouds are dark, the waters deep, but we are not without hope.
