John Piper on Holiness
In this episode, Jon and Justin discuss a message recently given by John Piper on Christ’s death and the holiness of the believer. The guys interact with clips from the message and seek to consider it from a biblical, confessional, and Reformed perspective. At Theocast, we are in complete agreement that Christ’s work has secured the holiness of the saints. Significant things to consider along these lines are: union with Christ; the active obedience of Christ; the relationship of justification and sanctification; and the proper way to preach the law and the gospel.
Do John Piper and Doug Wilson Obscure Faith Alone?
Every generation has to come to grips with the gospel. The imputation of the righteousness of Christ to sinners–as our whole and only righteousness–has often been under assault in the history of the church. It is in our day in the form of the Federal Vision and the teaching of final justification. Jon and Justin engage with both of these errors today in an effort to clarify and defend the heart of the gospel, which is the righteousness of Christ counted to sinners.
MEMBERS: More Than a Feeling? (Transcript)
The guys continue the conversation on feelings, faith, and assurance. We also discuss Christian Hedonism and where it tends to lead.
More Than a Feeling? (Transcript)
In this episode, the guys talk about feelings. Yes, that’s right. At a prominent evangelical conference, John Piper said that it is futile to try to define saving faith apart from feelings (link). We consider whether that is correct and the fallout of that perspective as it relates to assurance.
