Challenging Caricatures of Calvinism

Dr. Thomas Ascol of Founder Ministries writes,” I hope I live long enough to see the day when the common caricatures of the doctrines of sovereign grace have been so widely exposed that any self-respecting preacher will be ashamed to keep serving them up as if they were irrefutable critiques of what John Broadus called “that exalted system of Pauline truth which is technically called Calvinism.”  On todays program, Mike examines the gross misrepresentation what he calls “the true exposition of Scripture.”

Theology 101-Soli Deo Gloria

In this special repeat broadcast, Mike and his pastor Scott Reiber study the Five Solas of the Protestant Reformation, focusing on Soli Deo Gloria, “to God alone be the glory”. As the Westminster Shorter Catechism asks, “What is the chief end of man? Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.”

Discussing the Doctrine of Election

Mike is joined by GMI marketing associate Renea Edwards and they have an impromptu discussion on the subject of election. Does God chose to save some and not others? Do people choose to be saved?  What does the Word of God have to say about the subject and is the Bible our standard for judging this subject and others?
