I was a guest a while back on "Issues, Etc.," when Harold Camping's prediction regarding our Lord's return first became a big deal. Issues, Etc., replayed the interview . . .

If you haven't come out for our current Academy series on Mike Horton's new theology text, The Christian Faith, see what you are missing!
Actually, we are having a great time! The place is packed, people are loving Horton's book, and even posed for the picture.

Paul's Defense of the Faith
The religions of the world teach doctrines that are believed to be timeless eternal truths. They contain moral and ethical instructions, which if applied will place adherents on the path to the good life here and now, and possibly nirvana in the next. But according to the apostle Paul in his numerous speeches in defense of the Christian faith recorded in the book of Acts, the Christian faith is not a program of life improvement founded on timeless truths, but is rather a truth-claim associated with particular historical events. The hosts will unpack the significance of this important distinction on this edition of the program as the wrap up their brief survey of the book of Acts.

"Justification has been merited for us by the Passion of Christ. It is granted to us through Baptism. It conforms us to the righteousness of of God, who justifies us. It has for its goal the glory of God and of Christ, and the gift of eternal life. It is the most excellent work of God's mercy."
Leave your guess (no cheating!) in the comments section below. Answer to follow with the next post.

The Whole Counsel of God
We often hear Christian leaders say things like, “I’m not inviting you to join a church, but to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus.” So in this approach, everything that is formal, official, planned, and public is seen as mere church-ianity, while genuine Christian experience is informal unofficial, spontaneous, and private. But is this biblical? Would the apostles agree with this kind of anti-institutional approach, or would they recognize it as part of the spirit of the age? The hosts will discuss these questions and more as they walk through Paul’s farewell address to the elders of the church of Ephesus in Acts 20.
