Idolatry (12)
  1. In this episode, Dr. Paulson talks about the worship produced out of men's hearts when God remains silent. This worship is nothing short of idolatry. 
  2. . . . which, as you and I (and Craig and Troy) know is a very very bad idea. Why don't the people in the book of Judges recognize the bitter irony in what they say and do?
  3. In today's episode of Tough Texts, Daniel Emery Price and Scott Keith dive into the complexities of 1 John 5:13-21.
  4. Day Trippin’. In this episode, we talk about Easter, altars, cosmic mountains, church history, open fonts, restored virtue, saints, angels, powers of darkness, idols, icons, images, searching for the truth, and how Jesus is the archetype of all archetypes, and in between we read Luther on the Old Testament by Heinrich Bornkamm.
  5. "Hand Made" sounds great, except when it comes to treating something hand made as though it were God. Chad gives a wonderful meditation on idolatry, and Aralyn Macare sings "Human Hands".
  6. In today's episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price cover Ephesians 5:1-6.
  7. Gretchen and Katie have a conversation with Rev. Bob Hiller about prosperity gospel, and how it sneaks into churches in a way that we start targeting the healthy people, the young families, and those who have something to offer the church.
  8. We Need to Get Ba’aled Out. In this episode, we read Warren Graff’s article, "Baalism in the Life of the Church," and discuss the roots of Baal worship in Israel and its consequences for Israel and churches today.
  9. Calling on the God’s vengeance, this militant prayer is aimed against the enemies of God and his people.
  10. Things are falling apart. Nothing new, just a different way. Jesus falls smack dab in the middle of all this shit!
  11. Turns out the Christian Church's goal was also the pursuit of happiness! Ooops! Thanks Pandemic!
