As we approach the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, today’s Protestants actually have little to be proud of as we survey the movement as a whole. The content of our messages and the shape of our worship services are largely determined by cultural preferences, marketing strategies, and crowd-pleasing techniques from the entertainment industry, rather than by Scripture. At the end of the day, what we’re left with is a kind of narcissistic spirituality that caters to the desires and felt needs of the masses, rather than a transcendent word that confronts, challenges, and rescues fallen sinners. On this edition of White Horse Inn, we’re beginning a new series on “The Solas of the Reformation.”

But the Protestant Reformers sought to recover the clear teaching of Scripture that salvation “depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy” (Rom. 9:16). So what […]

Justification by Faith Alone
Once upon a time, Protestants of every variety were identified as those who were committed to the doctrine of “justification through faith alone.” In our day, however, most Protestants are not even familiar with this doctrine. With either stern rigor or happy tips for better living, conservatives and progressives alike end up smothering the gospel […]

Glory to God Alone
As we have seen over the past few weeks, Scripture alone reveals that our redemption was accomplished by the work of Christ alone, and is received by grace through faith alone. In short, God gets all the credit for our salvation from start to finish. As Paul says in Rom 11:35-36, “Who has given him […]

The Radical Reformation
According to a recent Pew study, 53% of American Protestants couldn’t identify Martin Luther as the one who started the Reformation, and fewer than 30% of white Evangelicals were able to identify Protestantism as the faith which embraces the doctrine of justification by faith alone. On this program, the hosts will attempt to show that […]

Dr. Robert Godfrey joins Michael Horton and Bob Hiller to discuss the strange disappearance and mystery around Sister Aimee Semple McPherson, and what the fame of this pentecostal preacher tells us about the history of American evangelicalism.

10 Overlooked Bible Characters Who Shaped Redemptive History
“Faith is an unclean hand that lays hold of the righteous robes of Jesus.” Adriel Sanchez and Producers Aaron Simon and Arianna Quiroz explore the stories of the characters you may not have heard of in Sunday school and explain how these overlooked figures’ stories can encourage the church today.

Did Constantine Change the Day of Worship?
