TGC 157 — The Gods of Our Age

The people of Rome, Galatia, Corinth, and Ephesus could hardly not know that they were idolaters when Paul preached to them. They had idols of stone and wood and precious metals. They had temples with statues devoted to their gods. We know from Luther’s Catechisms that an idol is anything that you fear, love, and trust in above all things. We have idols too. They are not statues of stone or wood or precious metals. But they look exactly like the idols of the ancient world. In this episode, Mark Preus walks us through what they look like. 

Host: Fr. Jason Braaten

Special Guest: Fr. Mark Preus

[Gottesblog] On Post-Evangelicalism — Larry Beane

On Post-Evangelicalism

I ran across a fascinating article from the Washington Post called: “In a Post-Trump World, These Pastors are Ditching the Evangelical Label for Something New” by Religion Editor Sarah Pulliam Bailey - October 22, 2021. It is illustrative about the spiritual bankruptcy of Progressivism.

I decided to record a video blog going over the article.

This was my first shot at vlogging, so I did misspeak once when I referred to the Fifth Commandment (I said, “steal” when I meant “kill”). Also, I could not come up with the name “Paul Kengor” who wrote a book entitled The Devil and Karl Marx.

Since it touches on a point of controversy, I have not put it on YouTube so as not to jeopardize my channel. O I created a Rumble account and posted it there.
