Not a lot of Church History podcasts out there... So I decided to fix that. "The Scottish Tempest" is a project I'm working on under Westminster Media on the life of John Knox. The first episode is almost 2 hours long and it drops on Monday. Be sure to give it a listen.

The constant flood of sports betting and casino ads is exhausting. But what’s worse is what gambling actually does to people over time. It poisons minds, distorts habits, and degrades souls.

Pope Pius IX@PopePiusIXStan

If you have a doctrine not explicitly in scripture and you hold to sola scriptura, you have a problem. If you don't hold to sola scriptura and you have a doctrine not explicitly found in scripture, you don't have that problem. It is a problem for you, but as I see sacred tradition and scripture as of equal worth, not a problem for me. Hope that clears it up.

So if you find yourself thinking yourself smarter and more sophisticated than your pastor, you may be right. But that doesn't mean he's not equipped to do his actual job better than you ever would be.

It would take me decades to be able to lead a church like that, but to him it was probably second nature by then.

I remember being fresh out of seminary and visiting a church near my home town. Kind of a "country" church with an older pastor that had a bit of a drawl (even though we were firmly in the midwest). After the sermon I remember thinking very critically of the sermon...

There's a moment when smart Evangelical/Reformed guys in college or grad school go to a Sunday service and it hits them they're smarter and more sophisticated than the guy in the pulpit. They start thinking about Rome. I get it. Srsly DM me. Happy to talk. No judgement.

The Filioque is a vital, biblical, and theologically necessary doctrine. I lay it out from a specifically Reformed perspective here.

Realizing the endless ads for sports betting apps are because they constantly need to recruit new users since their most loyal customers bankrupt themselves.

@HansFiene I wont dox him, but I had a teacher in High School who had 4 first names. He added his wife's maiden name to the end of his and her last name was also first name. Tragic.

@nonregemesse Yes but David Tennant as Knox is spot on. Only good part of the movie.

I have some opinions on the growing popularity of Presuppostional apologetics and the Transcendental Argument for God among the Eastern Orthodox...

It's been a long time coming, but episode four is almost here. Check out this sneak peak.

Westminster Seminary@WestminsterTS

Power often changes hands. What was once tolerated can suddenly become dangerous. The English persecutions under Mary would force Knox into yet another exile, and sharpen what he would later bring back to Scotland. The Scottish Tempest – Episode 4: Blood and Fire drops Friday. Preview:
