Peripatetic 30 – Simplicity, Systematic Theology, and Sanctification

Recorded in mid-March; covers the relationship between Divine Simplicity and Systematic Theology, and goes through Ephesians 6 to emphasize the unity of the Christian life and the apologetic task. Additionally, as major examples, addresses practically all of the same subjects recently addressed on the blog, and gives a theological background for my recent comments about a variety of issues, as well as expanding on the previous episode.…

A Necessary Distinction

In the midst of the turmoil which controversy creates, it is always refreshing to encounter an irenic, yet firm response in the midst of a variety of hasty and conjectural surmises. That irenicism was, of course, the response of Mike Robinson, who many will know from his books and posts on a variety of subjects related to apologetics. When his response was brought to my attention, I was excited to see that he had commented on the situation. Unfortunately, his post was in response only to the initial statement, which was intentionally designed to bring attention to the general …

Iglesia Ni Cristo Centennial Tract

A regular in our chatroom has created a new tract for bringing the gospel to the Iglesia ni Cristo. I think a lot of it could be used in discussion with Roman Catholics too, as odd as it sounds some Iglesia ni Cristo arguments are very Roman Catholicesque.

Check it out here: http://www.trueiglesia.org and share with your Filipino friends (believer or unbeliever).…

The Shattered Stained Glass Window

A lot of people seemed upset when I posted an encouragement and admonishment to Sye Ten Bruggencate yesterday. The fallout seems to consist of either those praising me for doing so, or vilifying me for same. I’m no stranger to controversy, obviously, so I have been watching the general trend of commentary. The fallout from my detractors, on the main, seems to have missed the central meat of the post. Sure, I mentioned several things only in general, but most of our regular readers know what I was referring to. I’ve said the same things I am saying now over …

Dear Sye.

Sye’s target audience is “regular joes”. Folks, I’m a truck driver. I am a “regular Joe”. I’m also the one saying you can’t reduce things to the level he does, and that what Van Til taught, in accordance with the Scriptures, is much more than what Sye is teaching. I have spent a great deal of time explaining this method, the power of it, and the sheer exquisite beauty of it. I have demonstrated it, and all of the other contributors here demonstrate it on a regular basis. What Sye does, unfortunately, is shatter that stained glass window into shards, …
