The Theology of Christmas Movies Dec 12, 2021

Show notes

What's the true spirit of Christmas? That's the question at the heart of countless Christmas movies that clutter the airwaves and cable listings at this time of year. But the answer one typically receives from films of this genre is not merely a departure from the biblical narrative, but rather is a kind of anti-gospel that turns our attention completely away from the redemption provided by the incarnate Son of God. The hosts will discuss this topic by walking through memorable lines from movies such as A Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and many others(originally aired 12-11-16).

Atheism on Trial Dec 05, 2021

Show notes

In today's rapidly changing culture, atheism and agnosticism appear to be on the rise. But what reasons do people typically give for adopting this kind of worldview, and are these ideas reasonable? How should we respond to an unbelieving friend or family member who asks, "If God really exists, why is there so much evil and suffering in the world?" On this episode, Shane Rosenthal discusses these questions and more with Mark Lanier, author of, Atheism on Trial: A Lawyer Examines the Case for Unbelief.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

"O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" reminds us each year of the deep longing and hopeful expectation for the fulfillment of all the messianic promises revealed throughout the history of the Old Testament. This Emmanuel, or "God with us," would come in the fullness of time to "ransom captive Israel." (originally aired 12-03-17).

Greg Koukl on The Problem of Evil Nov 28, 2021

Show notes

Whenever you watch the news, it becomes increasingly clear that the world isn't the way it's supposed to be. But how did things go so wrong in the first place? And if something has gone wrong, does this imply that God is either indifferent to our plight or powerless to do anything about it? How are we to reconcile the existence of a good and all-powerful God with the problem of evil? On this episode, Shane Rosenthal discusses these questions and more with Greg Koukl, founder and president of Stand to Reason. In his book, The Story of Reality, Greg argues that at the end of the day, the Christian worldview is the only belief system that both acknowledges the existence of evil, and provides a solution for it.

Guilt, Grace & Gratitude Nov 24, 2021

Show notes

"Grace is the essence of theology and gratitude is the essence of ethics." It sounds so simple but we often find it difficult to arrange our thoughts, affections, convictions, and actions around these two poles. On this edition of The White Horse Inn, the hosts show how doing so gives us a pattern for repentance, faith, and service to God and neighbor (Originally aired 11-20-94).

The False Gospel of Fascism Nov 21, 2021

Show notes

On this episode, Shane Rosenthal talks with Dr. Gene Veith about a book he wrote back in 1993 titled Modern Fascism: Liquidating the Judeo-Christian Worldview. Recently Dr. Veith wrote an essay reflecting on the observations he had made in that volume about the rise of fascism, its philosophical and worldview assumptions, and how many of those beliefs later morphed into what we now call "post-modernism" In fact, in his recent article, Dr. Veith observes that "Much of what I predicted and warned against has come true. And even when I was wrong, I was wrong in underestimating the magnitude of the fascist revival." So what exactly is fascism and how is this movement being revived in our own day? That's the focus of this edition of the White Horse Inn.

Do I Have to Go to Church to Be a Christian? Nov 17, 2021

Show notes

Many Christians in our time seem to think that church attendance is optional, particularly in an age like ours with so many online options. But is this a healthy outlook? Is it even biblical? On this program, the hosts discuss this question and offer numerous reasons why it is not only important but also crucial for Christians to be under the care and supervision of pastors, teachers, and elders at a properly-ordered church (originally aired 08-20-17).

What Happens When We Deny Original Sin? Nov 14, 2021

Show notes

In the early 1800s, a man by the name of Robert Owen began to challenge the concept of original sin. "None are or can be bad by nature," he mused, "and it must be a gross error to make him responsible for what nature and his predecessors have compelled him to be." As a result, Owen attempted to establish a utopian socialist community in New Harmony, Indiana. And even though his project utterly failed after only three years, his views would later greatly influence thinkers such as Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx, who in their Communist Manifesto, actually referred to Owen's work as a kind of "new gospel." On this episode, Shane Rosenthal continues his conversation with Dr. Michael McClymond, focusing this time on the social and political implications of denying original sin.

What People Believe & Why Nov 10, 2021

Show notes

If you ask people on the street what they believe about God and the afterlife, you're likely to get a wide variety of answers. But an important follow-up question you should ask is, "Why do you believe that?" On this program, the hosts will listen to and interact with a number of on-the-street interviews dealing with basic religious questions. Why do people believe what they believe, and do the answers they provide work in other areas of life? Join us for this broadcast as we begin a new series, focusing on the resurrection as the foundation of the Christian faith (originally aired 03-06-16).
