Show notes:

What it means to be Right-Wing, Left-wing, Conservative, or Progressive.

Modernity is not having access to hot and cold water
Modernity is a worldview
The thing that gives us a radical Christian outlook is the doctrine that Jesus is Lord
This doctrine is not left-wing or right-wing, it is Christian.

The French and American Revolutions Compared

Written by Friedrich von Gentz
Translated into English by John Quincy Adams (because he thought so highly of it)
This book shows how radically unlike the American revolution and French revolutions were from each other
A great book if you want to learn more about the revolutions!

Act 23:14, 1 Cor. 12:3, Rom. 9:3, 1 Cor. 16:22

Direct Confrontation

What it looks like when people refuse to abide by the election results.

The urban areas are the ones who go big or go home

He describes how he went from to being a “movement conservative” to a Trump fan.
Great book to understand where the “Trump mania” wave is coming from.

Show notes

Welcome to the Plodcast! Listen in to hear Pastor Wilson discuss the relationship of social justice to justification. Then he talks about C.S. Lewis’ Selected Literary Essays and finishes things off with a look at hamartia in John. Happy plodding!

Show notes:

Social Justice:

The relationship of social justice to justification.
Social Justice is the sharp end of the spear advancing the entire socialist, Marxist, and egalitarian agenda - very different from the Biblical view of justice.
Every worldview has to have a justified class
Justification is necessary and you can’t just tag it on the tail end of a secular worldview.

Selected Literary Essays by C.S. Lewis

The most accessible out of all of Lewis’ academic writings.
A collection of literary essays from all over.
You can cut it up separately!
Great essays on many different topics by Lewis!
Go! Read! Do it!
