A Few Good Sermons

Long story, but I’m home for a week working on the farm. So I listened to several lectures while cutting down a field of hay in the new windrower.

Other than the free OT lectures by Belcher on iTunesU, I felt greatly blessed by the sermon series on Romans by Chuck Swindoll. He preached true to the title of “Straight Talk about Predestination” regarding Romans 9. I also listened to a 2007 talk by one of the Cambridge Big Five, Kevin Vanhoozer. I know a lot of people are sometimes puzzled about his “theodramatic hermeneutics,” but I find it both sound and useful (see the last book on the RealApologetics Recommended Reading on Hermeneutics). His discussion stresses the importance of doctrine in the church, both in its monergistic substance and its being actualized. I have my small quibbles with each of these figures and a few assertions, but they were still too good not to recommend.

Plans for a debate and other speaking engagements are being finalized. Stay tuned…
