Matter of Theology

Welcome to another edition of MoT! The place where theology matters because everything, all of life is a matter of theology. MoT is a podcast production that stands for the sufficiency of Scripture seeks to show how scripture applies to everything we think, say, and do. In today's episode, Drew and Chris take a deep dive, and we mean DEEP dive (just over 3 hours) into the topic of head coverings from 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. This topic is addressed by the Apostle Paul (using 15 verses), under the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit, in a very specific way for a very specific reason. This is not a difficult passage to interpret and apply however there are many who steer clear of it or do not take a consistent and/or balanced hermeneutical approach to exegeting the text. Our goal is to address this from all sides using Scripture, church history, the culture in Corinth at the time, and our culture today. So, grab your copy of God's Word and strap in as we dive into 1 Corinthians 11, a whole host of other passages, church history, the culture, and beyond in the latest from MoT, "Head Coverings: Cultural Practice or Biblical Ordinance?"

In this episode Chris continues to talk about forgiveness as it relates to our brothers and sisters in Christ. When a fellow believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is caught in a transgression, and have repented of that transgression, we who are spiritual have the responsibility to hoist up, must have resolve to hold up, and need to be reminded to do so with humility (Galatians 6:1-5).

On Sunday Feb 5, 2023, recording artist Sam Smith took to the platform at the Grammy Awards to perform the hit song (according to the world’s standards) “Unholy.” Sam, dressed as Satan and his team then performed “Unholy” as one would expect considering the artist, the name of the song, and the time we live in. The next day many Christians took to social media to publicly express their thoughts on the performance (and rightly so). However, many of those who were so outspoken still willingly invite in and/or support those to whom scripture refers to as "savage wolves" in many areas of their own lives. In the latest episode of MoT, Chris seeks to answer the question of "who is more dangerous, the devil we can see or the one disguised as an angel of light?"

Welcome to another edition of MoT! The place where theology matters b/c everything, all of life is a matter of theology. MoT is a podcast production that stands for the sufficiency of Scripture seeks to show how scripture applies to everything we think, say, and do. Recently Andy Stanley, "Pastor" of Buckhead "Church"/NorthPoint Community "Church" and a whole slew of satellite campuses in the metro Atlanta area gave a talk (we cannot call it a sermon, as the gospel was never preached) where he stated the following, ""the Bible says" is not not an adequate starting or returning point for many adults." This pattern of Andy questioning and outright denying the sufficiency of Scripture has gone past the point where beloved saints in the Lord Jesus Christ should remain partnered with him in any way, shape, or form. With the majority of the listeners to this podcast being in the U.S. and in the state of GA, coupled with the fact that Andy's reach is all over the country and around the world, Chris felt compelled to warn anyone who would listen to the dangerous teaching in word and deed that comes from Andy Stanley and others like him. Those who the Bible would classify as unprincipled, unstable men who would destort the scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:14-18).
