Timothy Keller: Lessons We Can Learn | Episode 21

When I(Tim) was deconstructing, it was often hard to know what Christian thinkers to trust. As I sorted through larger than life questions I would bounce from book to book and video to video trying to find someone that was authentic, educated and didn’t sugarcoat the hard questions I was dealing with. Timothy Keller was one of those voices. Today we remember who Keller was, look at his impact on our journeys, and examine some lessons from the late Timothy Keller.

A Conversation About Ethics | Episode 11

At Christianity Still Makes Sense our passion is to help doubters and encourage those deconstructing to think otherwise. It’s not surprising to hear stories of people in such situations describe how they can’t get behind the ethics of Scripture, so in exchange for a crack at hedonism many have ditched Christianity to join the cultural party of pleasure without boundaries. But do morals matter? Can we make sense of them? Is there a way to ethically live that it is fulfilling and non-stifling? Or is all this ethical talk of the Bible a past times? A bad hangover from an age out of touch with today? On today’s episode, we are going to dig into the topic of ethics by developing a biblical approach to it.

Bobby’s Moral Argument from Guilt | Episode 10

On today’s episode of CSMS, we are going to take a deep dive together as I’ll have Bobby unpack for us his moral argument from guilt that he developed for his doctoral work at the University of Birmingham in England. It was the late R.C. Sproul who used to say, “Every time I hear an atheist say he doesn’t believe in God, I stop him dead in his tracks and ask, ‘What do you do with your guilt?’” That’s a great question. “What do you do with your guilt?” And that’s because it’s a universal problem that we all must address regardless of our worldview. On today’s episode, we’ll discuss a certain type of guilt, namely, moral guilt. And taking Sproul’s question to the atheist, we will ask, “Which worldview can better account for guilt?” Atheism or theism? That’s exactly what Bobby set out to address in his research and I’m excited for you to ponder his findings.

Has True Revival Broken Out? | Episode 8

At the 2023 Grammys, artist, Sam Smith gave a nod to Satan in his performance, and it seems God is responding with an outpouring of His Spirit at Asbury University. With recent headlines drawing attention to Asbury University there has been lots of discussion regarding revival. Lord knows we can need it. But the rumor mill is never quiet, especially on social media. How are we to understand revival? What does it mean? What revival is not? What are the marks of genuine revival? Does the Asbury Revival appear to be authentic? These questions and more on today's CSMS.

Making Sense of Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage | Episode 7

No one ever said marriage was a cake walk. But some do wonder if the Christian view of marriage is too restrictive. First, too restrictive in who it relates to—i.e., marriage as applied exclusively between a man and a woman. Or, second, some wonder if the Bible is too restrictive regarding divorce. And it’s certainly no secret, that when you compare what the Bible has to say about these topics with today’s culture, it’s clear, the viewpoints are worlds apart. What’s even more sad, is there are those whose faith has been deconstructed on account of these topics. These two worlds—namely, the world of Scripture and our world are too far apart for some to comprehend. Consequently, many of those who are quick to go the way of culture have swept Christianity into what they consider the irrelevant dustbin of history. And make no mistake. Once the Christian begins thinking the Bible is unfair to confine marriage to a man and a woman, or it’s unreasonable in what it has to say about divorce and remarriage, it’s just a matter of time before doubts, compromise, and perhaps even apostasy kick in. And when you add to this all the churches who have dropped the ball in how they handled the couple going through a divorce, by disciplining them and making them a public spectacle, it’s no wonder some have left the church feeling shamed, confused, and rejected as they thought, “Christianity no longer makes sense to me.” So, how are we to navigate these difficult issues? And how can we make sense of topics such as marriage, divorce, and remarriage? Well, today, we are going to find out.
