Recources

I'm not sure if I have mentioned White Horse Inn yet, but I am going to mention it now. White Horse Inn is a radio show that is headed up by Dr. Michael Horton. The show brings together four very different men. Horton is a professor of apologetics and systematic theology at Westminster Seminary California and author of books such as Christless Christianity and Putting Amazing back into Grace. Dr. Rod Rosenbladt is a professor in theology at Concordia University in Irvine, California and an ordained Lutheran minister. Ken Jones is the pastor of Greater Union Baptist Church in Compton, California. Kim Riddlebarger is the Pastor of Christ Reformed Church in Anaheim, California. These four men come together and basically talk about theology and the church. This is there statement on their website of what brings them together despite their differences:

Like its original namesake, the new White Horse Inn is not a church and our hosts don't agree on every detail of theology (even important topics like the sacraments and election, etc.). Instead, what unites the hosts and everyone involved in White Horse Inn is a concern for churches that are God-centered rather than human-centered, Christ-focused rather than distracted by secondary concerns, gospel-driven rather than driven by programs and moralistic platitudes. The hosts believe that the solas of the Reformation [see FAQs on website] are both the message and the means for the renewal of the church in our time.

I just love listening to these guys because they are all so grounded in what being a Christian is. They disagree on many issues, like I do with a lot of my friends, but they still have the basic foundation that they love Christ and His Gospel.

Their second most recent show (Feb. 28th) was titled "Grounded in the Gospel." In it they talked to two authors of a book by the same title. The discussion centered around instruction in the Gospel (what they referred to a catechesis). I listened to it on the way down to Harding, and it was so good. I just thought that I would share it with all of you.

There is a link to the White Horse Inn website on the side of this page. If you click here you can go straight to the downloading section of their shows (it doesn't cost). There is also a place to subscribe to their podcast on the home page of their website (right under the audio player).

All for His glory,
Mitchell
