No Condemnation

Welcome to the first White Horse Inn program of the “Romans Revolution” series for 2006! The hosts begin to set the context for this series by discussing the state of American Evangelicalism and help us to get a better grasp of the beliefs and practices of American Evangelicals today.

As we continue to set the context for our new year-long series in the Book of Romans, the hosts examine how and why sentiment has replaced doctrine in contemporary Christianity, and the impact this has had on the church. They also converse with David Murrow, author of Why Men Hate Going to Church.

In this edition, the hosts evaluate the various new trends in church options, such as mega-churches, micro-churches, emergent churches, and yes, even traditional churches. What are the dangers and problems with this new “food court” spirituality?

In what ways do many of today’s best-selling Christian books and sermons resemble the language and messages heard in the category called “Self-Help?” Is it true that “God helps those who help themselves?” How is a person actually saved? Don’t miss this edition of the White Horse Inn!

Are we living in a predominately secular culture? If so, what impact does this have on what Christians believe? Have secular values infiltrated the church? Special guest, Gene Edward Veith, Cultural Editor for World Magazine, joins the hosts to reflect on these questions.

What is so unique about the Book of Romans that it has had such a great impact on the church throughout history? Tune in this week as the hosts outline the “big picture” of Paul’s letter to the Romans and discuss its incredible historical influence. Joining the hosts again on this program is World Magazine […]

In Romans 1:16, Paul declares that he is “not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation.” The gospel is undeniably central to the Book of Romans. But what is the gospel, and why is it so powerful?

When was the last time you heard a message about the wrath of God? Is this biblical concept being downplayed by contemporary Christians? What effect might this have on how Christians view the suffering and death of Jesus Christ on our behalf? Tune in to this edition of the White Horse Inn to tackle these […]

Paul argues in Romans 1 that in creation, God and his attributes are “clearly perceived” by all men. How, then, do we explain atheism? How should Christians respond to those who claim that God does not exist? Find out this week on the White Horse Inn!

Is it enough to believe in “Judeo-Christian values,” or does God also require us to perform the moral law? On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts discuss the second chapter of Romans in our year-long series on the Romans Revolution.

The coexistence of assurance and doubt is not a contradiction, but a reflection of the Christian life lived between justification and glorification. True assurance rests not in the strength of one’s faith, but in the object of that faith—Jesus Christ—and the presence of doubt, while unsettling, does not nullify genuine belief.

In Christ, you need not fear God’s gavel on the last day—let alone man’s lesser gavels. You can even look forward to that divine gavel with joyful anticipation, for it will signal God’s irreversible declaration that in Christ, you are innocent.

When you are in the throes of suffering, mantras and meditations fall short. We need a more concrete hope. Pastor Adriel Sanchez unpacks Hebrews 6:13–20 and shows how God gives us a sure and unshakable word that anchors us when our faith is shaken by doubt and suffering.

How do our views of penance, repentance, justification, purgatory, and assurance of salvation impact how we live our lives?
