    Grudem helpfully examines the mysterious process of regeneration, which is like the wind which you can’t see, but you can see it’s effect.  In his look at conversion, Grudem breaks down this summary category into faith and repentence.

    Reflections of T4G 2008

    Al Mohler’s radio program recently had Ligon Duncan, Mark Dever and C. J. Mahaney together to reflect on the April Together for the Gospel Conference.

    The men reflect on the surprising elements about the conference, and then discuss the concerns they have over coming battles that the church must face — that primarily being to elevate again a high view of Scripture.  Lig observes that he believes every generation must re-engage this battle for the authority and integrity of Scripture so that they own it.  Even though Scripture was under attack in the 20th century, the new generation will have to go back and reapply the lessons learned there because things are being ‘fudged’, as Ligon put it.  Mohler also observes how the PCA and the SBTS both fought major defining battles over these issues.

    They also consider how they are able to stand together for the gospel in spite of their differences.  The gospel unifies them, the implications of the gospel are what they differ on in part.

    If you went to T4G you will definately want to hear this program.

    Al Mohler and Eric Reymond on African American Theology and Jeremiah Wright

    Al Mohler recently interviewed Eric Reymond about the controversy surrounding Jeremiah Wright and, in general, the state of African American Theology and the church.  If you don’t know much about how portion’s of African American theology developed, this is a good, yet very basic primer.

    Election & Reprobation: Grudem Systematic Theology

     Wayne Grudem’s continuing systematic theology series is now looking at the progress of salvation.  These messages look at election, or as some call it, predestination, and reprobation.  Excellent material for discussion, and a clear and helpful look at the often misunderstood doctrine of election.

    Hand-out Church History, John Gerstner

    I don’t say much about mp3’s that have a price tag, primarily because I can’t afford it.  However, Ligonier has just announced sweeping price reductions, and in light of that, I am recommending a series on church history by John Gerstner that is very good. 

    John Gerstner had an incredible mind filled with an amazing amount of information.  R. C. Sproul has commented on Gerstners vast knowledge of history and doctrine.  Even more amazing, is that Gerstner is spellbinding in his ability to teach.  There is no labor in listening to him teach or lecture.  He is a pure joy, and that is a good match for a church history course.

    I first listened to this series 5 years ago when I was looking for a good church history overview, and I still remember many things Gerstner said.  This course is well worth the money.
