    Christianity

    Plodcast

    In the Plodcast, pastor Douglas Wilson covers anything related to theology and culture with his usual entertaining style. Whether it involves talking about Chestertonian Calvinism (not an oxymoron), the benefits of a Classical Christian education (not in that order), or the latest pomosexuality farce, the plodcast aims to apply all of Christ to all of life, for all the world. Douglas Wilson is an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian (pretty much in that order) and is politically to the right of Jeb Stuart.

    This week Pastor Wilson address how conservatives and progressives think about equality. He also talks about J.C. Ryle’s wonderful book, “Holiness”, and Pastor Wilson finishes things off with a look at the word apalgeo. Happy plodding!

    Show Notes:

    Equality of Outcome:

    • We all think that equality is a good thing, but we need to look at the context of the equality
    • Conservatives want equality of opportunity, while Progressive’s want equality of outcome
    • Conservatives want equality in the rules, while Progressives want equality of the scoreboard
    • In order to keep everything perfectly equal, you would have to be God

    Holiness:

    • Written by J.C. Ryle
    • Ryle is a master of clarity, and is a very straight forward writer
    • In this book he presents the classic reformed understanding of sanctification
    • Ryle shows what it is to grow in holiness and is an enormous help to Christians who want to be holy in God’s sight

    Apalgeo:

    • Means to be past feeling
    • Only used once in the New Testament: Ephesians 4:19-20
    • This refers to one whose conscience is seared, whose moral sensibilities have been deadened
    • Guilt is a gift from God, without it we would destroy ourselves
    Plodcast Ep. 96 - So What Do We Think About Tariffs, From Silence to Song, Apaideutos Jun 05, 2019

    This week Pastor Wilson talks about how we should think about tariffs. He also talks about Peter Leithart’s wonderful book, “From Silence to Song”, calling this small book a “treasure trove”. Pastor Wilson finishes things off with a look at the word apaideutos. Happy plodding!

    Show Notes:

    So What Do We Think About Tariffs:

    • President Trump thinks tariffs are great and something we should be doing more of
    • Trump is not levying tariffs, he is threatening to levy tariffs in order to get concessions
    • Threatening tariffs can lead to an increase in free trade

    From Silence to Song:

    • Wonderful book written by Peter J. Leithart
    • This book is about the tabernacle of David
    • In the tabernacle of the wilderness there is no record of music being a part of worship
    • But David introduces music into the equation
    • Leithart also shows that the tabernacle of David was very attractive to Gentiles
    • For those who love Biblical theology, this small book is a treasure trove

    Apaideutos:

    • Rendered as unlearned
    • Found in 2 Tim. 2:23
    • In Prufrock, T.S. Eliot warns us against “tedious arguments”
    • The apostle Paul was aware of them also
    • The servant of the Lord must not get dragged into stupid and unprofitable quarrels
    Plodcast Ep. 95 - Deepfake Videos and the Law, The Hiding Place, Anopheles May 29, 2019

    This week Pastor Wilson talks about the problem with deepfake videos, especially in politics and criminal trials. He also talks about Corrie Ten Boom’s book, “The Hiding Place”, and his Mother’s friendship with Corrie Ten Boom herself. Pastor Wilson finishes things off with a look at the word anopheles. Happy plodding!

    Show Notes:

    Deepfake Videos and the Law:

    • Deepfake videos are now coming into serious possibility, especially in politics and criminal trials
    • Wilson believes that we ought not accept any kind of electronic evidence in a court of law without the burden of proof with regard to that evidence being shifted
    • How are we supposed to know if the electronic evidence condemning someone was not tinkered with?

    The Hiding Place:

    • Written by Corrie Ten Boom
    • Corrie Ten Boom was good friends with Pastor Wilson’s Mother

    Anopheles:

    • Rendered as unprofitable
    • Used twice in the New Testament: Titus 3:9, Heb. 7:18
    • This is unprofitable in the moral sense
    Plodcast Ep. 94 - The Glory of Privilege, Unbroken, Anupotaktos May 22, 2019

    This week Pastor Wilson talks about the glory of privilege, and how Christians should view our culture’s shaming of white privilege. He also talks about Laura Hillenbrand’s book, “Unbroken”, and his Father’s friendship with Louis Zamperini. Pastor Wilson finishes things off with a look at the word anupotaktos. Happy plodding!

    Show Notes:

    The Glory of Privilege:

    • In this uneven world some people are born ahead and others behind
    • In a secular framework this unevenness causes a problem
    • God showers His kindness in unequal portions and there is no way to object without objecting to God’s way of doing things
    • The issue is not whether certain people are privileged--of course they are. The issue is following the parable of the talents--what do they do with it.
    • White privilege does exist, and it should be used to advance the Kingdom of God not advance the kingdom of white privilege

    Unbroken:

    • Written by Laura Hillenbrand
    • This book is based on the story of Louis Zamperini
    • Pastor Wilson’s father was friends with Louis Zamperini

    Anupotaktos:

    • Used four times in the New Testament
    • One of the translations is rendered as disobedient (1 Tim. 1:9)
    • Rendered twice as unruly in Titus 1 and once in Hebrews 2:8
    • In other words, as Christ’s rule in this world is consolidated and made manifest, we will eventually see that nothing is disobedient
    Plodcast Ep. 93 - Immigration and Refugees, Romancing Opiates, Antichristos May 14, 2019

    This week Pastor Wilson talks about what he thinks is the Biblical response to the immigration and refugee problem in America. He also talks about Theodore Dalrymple’s book, “Romancing Opiates”, and the greek word antichristos. Happy plodding!

    Show Notes:

    Immigration and Refugees:

    • What is a biblical response to the problem of refugees?
    • Americans have fallen under the assumption that the state cannot run out of resources
    • We are assuming that the state is God
    • People who want to accept every single refugee into the U.S. are forgetting that the state has limited resources

    Romancing Opiates:

    • Written by Theodore Dalrymple
    • He argues that there is a mythology that surrounds the use of opiates in Western culture that goes back to the 1700s
    • We have grown accustomed to thinking of drugged up artists in a romanticized way
    • Anyone who works with down and outers should read this book

    Antichristos:

    • Rendered as antichrist
    • Only used 4 times in the whole bible: 1 John 2:18, 2:22, 4:3 and 2 John 1:7
    • The word antichrist is never used in Revelations
    • A common understanding is to see The Antichrist and The Beast as the same thing
    • In scripture, a beast is a civil ruler, persecuting the Church (like Nero, Hitler, Stalin…). An antichrist is a false teacher from within, one infected with all the latest ideational leprosy (a soft-spoken Anglican bishop for example).
    Plodcast Ep. 92 - Buttigieg, “Your quarrel is with my creator”, How Football Explains America, Antilogia May 08, 2019

    This week Pastor Wilson talks about Mayor Pete Buttigieg saying “Your quarrel is with my creator” to Vice President Mike Pence. He also talks about Sal Paolantonio’s book, “How Football Explains Amercia”, and the greek word antilogia. Happy plodding!

    Show Notes:

    “Your Quarrel is with My Creator”:

    • Mayor Pete Buttigieg recently made headlines attacking Mike Pence
    • He said “Your quarrel is with my creator”, and he was appealing to natural law
    • God is not only our creator but also our lawgiver
    • Buttigieg is assuming he is unfallen

    How Football Explains America:

    • Written by Sal Paolantonio
    • This book draws a connection between how Americans think about the world and how a football game operates
    • Football is a manifest destiny game, it’s all about conquering the frontier
    • There is some sort of deep connection between the mentality of a population and plays conducted on the field

    Antilogia:

    • Refers to contradiction and strife
    • Found in Heb. 12:3, 6:16
    • Also found once in Jude 11
    • The true contradictor is the one who wants to contradict the truth
    Plodcast Ep. 91 - Lesser Magistrates, The Weight of Glory, Antiloidoreo May 01, 2019

    This week Pastor Wilson talks about lesser magistrates, C.S. Lewis’ book, “The Weight of Glory”, and the greek word antiloidoreo. Thanks for tuning in!

    Show Notes:

    Lesser Magistrates:

    • The doctrine of the lesser magistrate is a doctrine that is very relevant in our day
    • For example marijuana is allowed by the lesser magistrates and not the federal magistrates
    • Conservative states that do not conform to the federal standard of abortion is another example
    • Our reasons for asking the lesser magistrates to stand up to the bad guys should be grounded in scripture
    • Book IV of Calvin’s Institutes addresses this problem with civil magistrates very well

    The Weight of Glory:

    • Written by C.S. Lewis
    • Small collection of Lewis’ more famous essays
    • This book is one to return to again and again
    • Lewis sets the boundaries of what it is like to seek glory

    Antiloidoreo:

    • This word means to “revile again”, returning bile for bile, spite for spite
    • Used in 1 Peter 2:23
    • When someone else starts the sinning, the easiest thing in the world is to pay him back in his own coin
    • But this is precisely what Jesus did not do
    Plodcast Ep. 90 - Campus Intoleristas, Blood Bought World, Antithesis Apr 24, 2019

    This week Pastor Wilson talks about his recent encounter with campus intoleristas and how Christians ought to view them. Then he plods on to review Toby Sumpter’s book, “Blood Bought World”. Then Pastor Wilson wraps things up by taking a look at the Greek word Antithesis. Happy Plodding!

    Show Notes:

    Campus Intoleristas:

    • The other night Wilson took part in an event on campus that was full of young intoleristas
    • Too often conservative Christians look at campus radicals and see the justice warrior type and forget these are kids who have never had anyone love them enough to say no
    • We need to see campus activism as being a thin veneer cover to a vast cavernous father-hunger
    • Campus politics is not a political problem, it is a spiritual problem

    Blood Bought World:

    • Written by Toby Sumpter
    • This book has an amazing ability to present basic, orthodox, confessional, biblical truths in a new and robust way
    • A very fabulous book, go get it!

    Antithesis:

    • Refers to the opposition that false information or knowledge present to the faith
    • Found once in the Greek New Testament: 1 Tim. 6:20-21
    • Two thousand years later, and some folks are still at it
    Plodcast Ep. 89 - Woke Evangelicalism, Nation of Rebels, Antidiatithemai Apr 17, 2019

    This week Pastor Wilson talks about woke evangelicalism. Then he plods on to review Andrew Potter and Joseph Heath’s book, “Nation of Rebels”. Then Pastor Wilson wraps things up by taking a look at the Greek word Antidiatithemai. Happy Plods!

    Show Notes:

    Woke Evangelicalism:

    • By abandoning discussion of Christ and His cross we are abandoning any hope for a reconciliation
    • A reparation movement is going to make race relations far worse
    • Wilson is not opposed to the universal harmony that the woke are pursuing. Rather, he is opposed to misguided proposals that will make things worse

    Nation of Rebels:

    • Written by Andrew Potter and Joseph Heath
    • This book shows that the idea of counterculture in America is an illusion
    • It shows that the counterculture is the mainstream culture
    • There is no genuine counterculture in America today
    • The church should become a true counterculture

    Antidiatithemai:

    • Rendered as those who set themselves up in opposition
    • Found in 2 Tim. 2:25
    • This native opposition is hard to overcome
    • Paul says that it is sometimes overcome by means of meek and patient instruction
    Plodcast Ep. 88 - Jury Nullification, C.S. Lewis On Politics and Natural Law, Anosios Apr 10, 2019

    This week Pastor Wilson talks about jury nullification and gives us his personal account of being jury duty himself. Then he plods on to review Justin Dyer and Micah Watson’s book, “C.S. Lewis On Politics and Natural Law”. Then Pastor Wilson wraps things up by taking a look at the Greek word anosios. Happy Plods!

    Show Notes:

    Jury Nullification:

    • Juries have authority over the law and not just over the person accused
    • Pastor Wilson was selected to be the foreman of a jury
    • If you have the opportunity to serve in a jury you should
    • You should also read up on jury nullification before you serve

    C.S. Lewis On Politics and Natural Law:

    • Written by Justin Dyer and Micah Watson
    • C.S. Lewis claims to be bored by politics, but this book shows C.S. Lewis was a sophisticated political thinker
    • He is profoundly conservative in his outlook on politics, and is very much a classical liberalist
    • If you are interested in political theory, natural law, political science, and C.S. Lewis then this is your book

    Anosios:

    • Rendered as unholy
    • Used in 1 Tim. 1:9, 2 Tim. 3:2
    • Too many Christians see holiness in terms of a seraphic countenance and an implied halo, and thusly see unholiness as the mere absence of that -- a state of being ordinary
    • But as Paul uses unholy here, it means polluted and defiled
    Plodcast Ep. 87 - Declaration of War & the Constitution, The Case for Trump, Anomos Apr 03, 2019

    This week Douglas Wilson talks about Congress’ assigned right to declare war and how they have been shuffling out of it. Then he plods on to review Victor Davis Hanson’s book, “The Case for Trump”. Then Pastor Wilson wraps things up by taking a look at the Greek word anomos. Happy Plods!

    Show Notes:

    Declaration of War & the Constitution:

    • Congress is assigned the duty to declare war by the constitution
    • Congress wants the ability to authorize war and take credit for it if it goes well, but they want deniability if war goes poorly
    • Conservative Christians need to believe that congress is responsible to declare war and they should not be permitted to shuffle out of it

    The Case for Trump:

    • Written by Victor Davis Hanson
    • Hanson is acutely aware of Trump’s ridiculousness
    • He gives an amazing metaphor comparing Trump to chemotherapy
    • 2 situations in the 2020 election: 4 more years of chemo or a returning cancer

    Anomos:

    • Rendered as without law
    • Used twice in Romans 2:12

    This week Douglas Wilson talks about the Russian collusion involving Donald Trump. Then he plods on to review Yoram Hazony’s book, “The Virtue of Nationalism”. Then Pastor Wilson wraps things up by taking a look at the Greek word anoma. Happy Plods!

    Show Notes:

    Russian Collusion:

    • It was concluded that there was no collusion with Trump and Russia
    • We have to make a distinction between normal vs regime politics
    • What this means practically is that the democrats are going to conduct a series of unappetizing hearings
    • This would be a royal disaster for them

    The Virtue of Nationalism:

    • Written by Yoram Hazony
    • He argues wonderfully that we should opt for some form of Nationalism
    • He gives a great discussion of social contract theory

    Anoma:

    • Rendered as without the law
    • In 1 Cor. 9:21 he uses it four times

    Show Notes:

    Democrats & Crazy Time:

    • All of the announced Democratic candidates voted against saving the lives of newborn babies that survive a botched abortion
    • One of these Democratic candidates is going to get roughly 50% of America’s votes
    • On the left it’s crazy at the top, it’s crazy in the rhetoric, and it’s crazy all the way down
    • On the right it’s crazy at the top, but not crazy all the way down
    • If we look over to the right—the world is not ending. If we look over to the left—man.

    Learning Contentment:

    • Written by Pastor Wilson’s wife Nancy Wilson
    • Nancy lives this book out
    • Discontentment multiplies and contentment grows

    Anomia:

    • Rendered as unrighteousness in: 2 Cor. 6:14
    • Rendered twice as transgression of the law in: 1 John 3:4

    Show Notes:

    False Hate:

    • What are we to make of Jussie Smollett’s fake hate crime
    • The liberal’s narrative is to say that America is just as racist now than ever
    • In order to sustain this narrative the liberals need to have hate crimes
    • The fakery means that there is an accusation embedded in it
    • These people like Jussie Smollett are not only lying but slandering

    Seeing Green:

    • Written by Tilly Dillehay
    • This book deals with the sin of envy
    • This book is a five star for Pastor Wilson

    Ethics of a Border Wall

    • From the OT we can see that a wall is not inherently unethical
    • Because it is built by men it can be misused
    • The difference is in the payout
    • A wall that is capable of keeping everyone out can also keep everyone in


    The Case Against Education

    • by Bryan Caplan
    • He shows that going to college and completing a degree has a strong economic payoff
    • Caplan argues that a degree is a signal that you can get things done
    • Caplan deals only with tax-funded education and not private education
    • It would be better if he said “A Case Against Government Funded Education”

    When is the Prophetic Payout?

    • There must be two categories for prophetic audiences
    • 1 Sam. 3:11 - Description of a Biblical prophetic audience
    • The difference is in the payout
    • In the Biblical view, it comes at the fulfillment
    • The other type of Prophetic Payout comes when the prophecy is made
    • The false prophet is delivering an adrenaline rush at the time the prophecy is made

    Plowing in Hope

    The Problem of Consent

    • The state of California requires enthusiastic consent for any sexual encounters on college and high school campuses.
    • Consent has become the god of the system because it allows anything
    • Statutory rape is often obtaining consent from someone who is unable to give it
    • If a 10 year old boy can consent to being a drag queen why can’t a 16 year old consent?
    • We have to open our Bibles
    • Consent is an element of a Biblical worldview but not the God of it.

    How to Be Free From Bitterness

    • The Futurist - a prediction of what will happen at the end of the world (in our future)
    • The Spiritualist - the view that says it has no literal earthly fulfillment
    • This book goes through Revelation and gives each view for the verses
    • Great book to become settled on your views of Revelation

    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

    • 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)

    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.

    Kavanaugh Nonsense:

    • Devils are accusers and we have gotten to the point where accusation equals conviction
    • People do not understand how to weigh and evaluate accusations
    • For many Christians, the prosecutor is the good guy but in scripture it is the other way around

    100 Cupboards Series:

    • Background overview of 100 cupboard series
    • Written by Pastor Wilson’s son N.D.Wilson

    Show notes:

    The abortion of the family:

    • The killing of babies is not the only problem
    • The decision to legalize abortion delegitimized the American family and made, in principle, every child a bastard
    • The reason children die, is because their fathers have been disenfranchised
    • There is now no such thing as a family, if a man is not permitted to have a say about the life of his child, he is simply a nullity

    Christology Cosmology & C.S. Lewis:

    • Written by Michael Ward
    • Series of 13/14 lectures that Ward gave
    • Ward wrote “Planet Narnia” and “Narnia Code”

    Authority in Preaching:

    • When a man is in the pulpit, he is not there as a representative of himself but of God
    • He is speaking for God
    • Many modern preachers coil away from this
    • When modern preachers talk about themselves on stage we think they are humble

    • About C.S. Lewis’ view of science and scientism
    • A number of Lewis scholars wrote many essays for this
    • These essays are showing how Lewis’ prophetic insights decades before are extremely relevant today
    • All the essays are superb

    • Used 6 times: James 1:15 (2x), 2:9, 4:17, 5:15, 5:20

    Welcome plodders! Pastor Wilson kicks things off this week by addressing the controversial topic of chastity and how it is not the same virtue for both sexes. After that, he reviews Mark Jones’ amazing book, “Knowing Christ”. Wrapping things up with a look at Hamartia in Hebrews. Enjoy!

    Show Notes:

    Lock and Key:

    • Chastity is not the same virtue for both sexes
    • Because men & women are different, they sin differently, and the consequences of their sins are different
    • This seems so offensive because it contradicts a central lie of feminism: that men and women are in fact interchangeable
    • A lock that opens to a hundred keys is worthless, and a key that opens a hundred locks is somehow admired by our culture (obviously not to be admired by Christians)

    Knowing Christ:

    • Written by Mark Jones
    • A packaging of rich Puritan theology
    • He takes a very cheesecake rich theology, and packages it into a very understandable way
    • Amazing devotional or group study book

    Wives Leaving Husbands:

    • The Greco-Roman world had many mixed marriages, this was not commonplace where Jesus was teaching
    • Paul says you should not abstain sexual relations with an unbelieving spouse
    • When you have two believers, the allowance for divorce is porneas (unfaithfullness)
    • When you have a mixed marriage and the unbeliever leaves, the believer is not bound in such circumstances
    • Paul says that a wife should stick it out, but if she can’t and she leaves then she only has two options 1) remain unmarried 2) be reconciled to the spouse

    The Principles of War:

    • Written by Jim Wilson
    • Doug’s father was a Naval officer

    • What does it mean to identify someone as a terrorist?
    • Terrorist has come to mean a bad guy, which is completely inaccurate
    • Terrorism is a particular tactic

    • Hamartia is found in Colossians 1:14, 2:11, 2:12

    Human Sexuality:

    • 2. Both men and women have two very different approaches to sex
    • Men have a more lackadaisical hit and run approach to sexuality while women have a nesting approach to sexuality
    • When men submit their sexuality to their women (their wives), civilizations begin to form
    • Our era is taking away men’s leadership so now men are leaning towards the viking style of sexuality

    Toxic Charity:

    • Written by Robert D. Lupton

    Show Notes:

    The Revoice Conference:

    • They want it to be possible for someone to be a gay celibate
    • The main thing that is wrong with this is that it is privileging gender confusion sexuality issues in a way that we never would privilege any other sin
    • This is like having your identity be in gambling but you never actually bet anything
    • This whole thing is not a sustainable project
    • What are the transgenders committing to not do?

    Darwin’s House of Cards:

    • Written by Tom Bethel
    • He is bringing us up to speed on the debate of darwinism

    Show Notes:

    American & French Revolutions:

    • We can’t have a biblical explanation of the War for Independence without properly seeing the context
    • The revolutionary era of the 18th century was kicked off by the French Rev. not the American War for Independence
    • Americans had every constitutional right to revolt

    Skin in the Game:

    • Written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
    • He argues that information doesn’t make you wise, having skin in the game makes you wise
    • A lot of the problems in the world are caused by people who do not have to face any consequences for being wrong
    • Taleb argues that risk is a really good thing
    • You want to live in such a way that when you make a wise choice you reap the benefit and vice versa

    Hamaria:

    Show Notes:

    Identity politics & the church

    • Identity politics would not be making such in-roads into the church unless we were having an identity crisis
    • Our identities have to be in Christ
    • As identity politics come into the church, race & gender relations get worse
    • If we try to have any kind of harmony that doesn’t confront the fact of our sinful natures it is a grave mistake

    Suicide of the West

    • Even though I’m going to be critical, the book is amazing... buy three copies
    • Written by Jonah Goldberg
    • Goldberg’s book “Liberal Fascism” is one of the best books I’ve ever read
    • The critique is that the first line of the book says that there is no God in this book

    Hamartano & Hamartia:

    • These words show up so much in Romans that we need to split it up into two episodes
    • Hamartano is mentioned in Romans 2:12, 3:23, 5:12, 5;14, 5:16, 6:15
    • Understanding these things, shall we sin because we are under grace and not under the law God forbid it, Paul says.

He plods on to review Joseph Sobran’s book, “Subtracting Christianity” and finishes things off with another look at Hamartano and Hamartia in Acts.

    Show Notes:

    Revoice Conference:

    • A doctrine has developed in the Evangelical & Reformed wing of the Church saying that someone can have a gay identity and be a Christian provided that they live a celibate lifestyle
    • Their identity can be gay but their behavior in the bedroom cannot be gay
    • The problem is that people don’t see the connection between effeminacy in manner and what winds up happening sexually, don’t start something you cannot finish
    • This revoice conference saying that they want to minister to homosexuals by letting them keep everything they can possibly keep is extremely counter productive

    Subtracting Christianity:

    • Written by Joseph Sobran
    • This book is a collection of Sobran’s columns
    • He is a very engaging writer, making you think deep
    • Some of his criticisms of Israel are silly
    • He does have a cockeyed view from what is going on in the east
    • However, he has a sane, healthy, and happy voice for traditional Christian values

    Hamartano & Hamartia

    • Consider the book of Acts

    • Hamartia is used eight times in Acts, (Acts 2:38, 3:19, 5:31, 7:6, 10:43, 13:38, 22:16, 26:18
    • Apostolic preaching frequently included the topic of sin. The relative absence of sin in much of modern preaching is therefore a great mystery. Our theologians are still working on it

    • Entropy existed prior to the fall
    • But the entropy and death of man was introduced by sin

    All that is in God:

    • Written by James Dolezal
    • This is a defense of the doctrine of divine simplicity
    • God is not a composite being, God is a simple being
    • Anything that is in God, is God
    • We don’t believe that God is Zeus standing on a balcony looking down on us

    Hamartano:

    • Found in Luke, rendered as sin and trespass
    • Luke 15:18, the prodigal son confesses to his father that he has sinned

    Show Notes:

    Guilt & Totalitolerance:

    • Many of the liberties that are being offered to Americans are bribes
    • They are bribes from an establishment that wants a docile and easily manipulated public
    • The fact that Americans have indulged themselves in so many ways, means that they are carrying a fundamental burden of guilt
    • A guilty people will be the most fiercely moralistic people
    • There is a tight connection between guilt and totalitolerance
    • Preachers need to realize this and start preaching free grace

    Suicide of the West:

    • This is a review of a book review
    • The review was about Jonah Goldberg’s “The Suicide of the West”
    • The review was by David Bahnsen & Brian Mattson
    • They both give this book a rave review, dinging Goldberg for his atheism
    • Gratitude requires an object, gratitude presupposes relationship
    • If you don’t have metaphysical money in the bank the checks you wright are all going to bounce

    Hamartia:

    Welcome to the Plodcast! Listen in to hear Pastor Doug address the rise of dirty omniscience. Then he goes on to plug the book, Approved By God, by Wright & Townsend. Finishing things off with a look at the Greek words “hamartano & hamartia”. Happy Plodding!

    Show Notes:

    Dirty Omniscience:

    • Google & Facebook are virtually tracking everything we do
    • This is going to go badly wrong
    • Our browser history is stored somewhere
    • We already know God knows, but now somebody else knows, and they are not loving and caring like the Lord
    • People who want to rival God are in big trouble
    • Christians should throw shade on this dirty omniscience

    Approved By God:

    • Written by Wright & Townsend
    • Helpful but patchy
    • Deals with the subject of churches and incorporation
    • We shouldn’t want the church saying one thing while the state is saying something else
    • A corporation exists at the pleasure of the state
    • Wright & Townsend are so concerned with separation from the state that they overstate their case

    Hamartano & Hamartia:

    • This word is used a lot in the NT, we will have to break it up
    • Starting with Matthew, Hamartano is rendered twice as sin and once as trespass
    • (Matthew 18:21/27:4/18:15/1:21/3:6/9:2/9:5-6/12:31/26:28)
    • The new covenant is all about dealing with our sin
    • Those who reject the idea of sin (as all relativists do) are showing their antipathy for the good news that God has given to us.

    Show Notes:

    Eric Schneiderman & Not Being a Hypocrite:

    • When women make “me-too” arguments, they are assuming moral absolutes exist
    • The whole “me-too” movement is radically relativistic when it comes to ethics
    • You can’t adopt a “do what you feel” worldview and argue that men are wrong for molesting or raping
    • If there is no God there’s no such thing as a hypocrite
    • In the Christian cosmos hypocrisy is a sin
    • In the “me-too” world there is no such thing as sin

    Reformation Worship:

    • Written by Gibson & Earngy
    • Fabulous resource on reformational liturgics
    • They have assembled some of the classic reformed orders of worship

    Amathes:

    • however there are things that Christians need to pay attention to
    • I am not an adherent of manifest destiny
    • you can’t unscramble the egg
    • we ought to recognize that Isreal has the right to occupy the space she currently has

    The Conservative Mind:

    • written by Russel Kirk
    • one of the values of conservative temperament is that it is not idealogical
    • the conservative is suspicious of systems
    • the conservative prefers the devil he knows to the devil he doesn’t know

    Alusiteles:

    • The NT describes sins of omission in different ways
    • Heb. 13:17 - the saints are told to avoid making their rulers assigned task a grief
    • they are to be a joy to serve, not a grief
    • when this is not done, the result is unprofitable (alusiteles)
    • when worshipers find that their whole church experience is “unprofitable” for them, this is one of the possible reasons they should check
    Ep. 40 - Climate Change & The Government, A Preface to Paradise Lost, Alogos Apr 18, 2018

    • your reflex action is going to go to your God
    • when an entity inspires to become ones “God”, they can cook up a disaster they can save you from

    • 10 years later when climate change is all said and done, people are going to want their money back

    A Preface to Paradise Lost:

    • written by C.S. Lewis
    • Lewis is amazing on any subject he touches on
    • the theme throughout the book is hierarchy
    • this book will suggest to you a different way of thinking about life

    Alogos:

    • means unreasonable
    • found in Acts 25:27, 2 Pet. 2:12, Jude 1:10
    • sin permitted in destroys a man’s capacity to make sense of the world around him

    Show Notes:

    Private Property & Environment:

    • when people tell you to save this or save that, there is a presupposition of ownership
    • we have to figure out who owns what
    • Christians should want to be good stewards of the planet, however, we need to do it through God’s appointed mechanisms
    • you don’t want to put anyone in charge of the environment, or an endangered species when that person doesn’t face any negative consequences for making poor decisions

    Show Notes:

    Abolitionism & The Art of the Deal:

    • How can we draw a lesson from the left when it comes from political engagement on the pro-life issue
    • one of the things the left does very well is that they don’t apologize for the activists on the extreme edges of their movement
    • if someone fighting for the same cause is doing something that is ill advised, it is really important for incrementalists to not apologize for the abolitionists
    • don’t spend your time fighting the abolitionists, spend your time fighting the pro abortionists

    The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination:

    • written by Loraine Boettner
    • has a lot of wonderful textual citations in the Bible that show how God governs everything
    • if anyone is interested in a good introduction to the reformed doctrine of predestination it is a wonderful book

    Alisgema:

    • this is the word for pollution, and is used once (Acts 15:20)
    • the Gentiles needed to abstain from certain basic things, among them the pollutions of idols
    • the end result of all forms of idolatry is always pollution, usually sexual

    Show Notes:

    Kendrick Brothers Movies:

    • it is very easy to make fun of Christian movies
    • as a pastor I found myself really wishing that people I knew would be able to see and be affected by these movies
    • people are misreading these movies
    • the fault is assigned to the evangelicalism of the filmmakers
    • it wasn’t the evangelicals that made all of the crappy hollywood movies, people don’t say that these movies were bad because of the secularism of the director
    • whatever criticisms are leveled at these movies, it does not have to do with the story arc
    • the things thats these movies need are better sets and actors

    Productive Christians in an Age of Guilt Manipulators:

    • written by David Chilton

    Ep. 13--Atheos, Politics of Guilt & Pity, Harvey Weinstein Oct 11, 2017

Book Plug: Politics of Guilt & Pity by R.J. Rushdoony Current Events: Harvey Weinstein "Shocked! Shocked!" "Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue." You cannot have public virtue last for long unless you have private virtue. You cannot have private virtue without gospel.
