Is Christian doctrine practical? The demand for practicality is sometimes legitimate. The bible does speak to the Christian Life. Often though the desire for practical sermons is a desire for a pastor to give biblical principles and steps to achieve some higher spirituality.

On this episode of White Horse Inn our hosts Michael Horton, Rod Rosenbladt, and Kim Riddlebarger show how Paul’s practical Christianity is grounded in doctrine. Like the Heidelberg catechism, in Romans we find Paul moving from guilt to grace to gratitude.

The Alternate Enchantment of the Reformation
Since the 2007 release of Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age, the Christian intellectual sphere has reverberated with talk of disenchantment, a historical process that helped create the modern world. According to Taylor, the old enchanted realm was “the world of spirits, demons, moral forces
The God Who Arrives Unbidden
In the spring of 1768, Voltaire famously remarked in his work the Épître à l’Auteur du Livre des Trois Imposteurs that if God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him (Si Dieu n’existait pas, il faudrait l’inventer).
