Reformation Doctrine (130)
  1. Your Theology Is Creating A Nice Little Climate of Panic! In this episode, Gillespie and Riley continue their reading of Gerhard Forde’s “On Being a Theologian of The Cross.” This week, they discuss the two ways of being a theologian and the consequences for daily life.
  2. You'd think that killing people would make them like you? This week, in preparation for the HWSS Conference, Gillespie and Riley jump into On Being a Theologian of the Cross, by Gerhard Forde. Why did Luther say, "The cross alone is our theology" and what are the consequences for Christians in every generation?
  3. This is the seventh installment in our special series on Luther’s Heidelberg Disputation. Translation of Theses 13, 14 and 15 by Caleb Keith.
  4. God preaches a concrete word to us in the present tense. We hear the Good News that Jesus is God’s mercy for us.
  5. The Gospel is simple to confess. That is, we are justified by faith alone, through Christ alone, without the works of the Law.
  6. Without the “simul” distinction, theology lapses into moralism.
  7. Nicodemus, like us, does not really have phantoms and dragons in his head. He has just one demon, one virus, one malady: he lives in fear.
  8. If we get past Sunday School moralizing what do we discover in the Old Testament?
  9. God’s Law is a death sentence for us sinners. There is no winning beneath the Law of God.
  10. Dr. Keith travels to Minnesota and has a wild conversation with Donovan Riley.
  11. Whenever I read the Genesis account of Abraham, I’m more impressed that he’s often a clumsy, mess of a man than that it’s “faith that’s accounted to him as righteousness.”
  12. No matter how great our efforts or how righteous our intent, we will go from troubled to scared, and scared to terrified, unless we are sprinkled with the blood of the Lamb.
