White Horse Inn

Inspiration and Inerrancy

Sun, 25 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, April 25, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Some who believe that the Bible is an inspired book go on to reject the idea that it is inerrant. But what does it mean to believe in the inerrancy of Scripture? How can sinful men produce a holy text without errors? What are we to do with some of the alleged contradictions in Scripture? Joining the panel for this discussion is Dr. R.C. Sproul, one of the founding leaders of the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy. The White Horse Inn: know what you believe and why you believe it.

The Inspiration of Scripture

Sun, 18 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, April 18, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton What does it mean to assert that the Bible is an inspired text? Did this holy book fall out of Heaven? Did the biblical writers dictate word for word what God wanted them to say? How are we to understand the nature of Scripture? On this program the hosts will unpack the meaning of the biblical doctrine of inspiration and will also take a look at some of the challenges that this doctrine is facing in our time.

Christianity - A Faith Founded on Facts

Sun, 11 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, April 11, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton How would you attempt to persuade someone who is unconvinced about the basic truth claims of the Christian faith? We asked pastors that question at a recent convention and their answers will surprise you. Joining the panel for this discussion is noted apologist Dr. John Warwick Montgomery, author numerous books including History & Christianity, and Faith Founded on Fact (originally broadcast April 16, 2006).

The Cross and Resurrection

Sun, 04 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, April 4, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton On this edition of the program the hosts walk through the significance of Christ's death, burial and resurrection. In particular, they focus on the importance of His resurrection from the dead, which vindicates His truth claims and provides a ground for belief in His sacrificial death on our behalf.

The Kingdom of God 2

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, March 21, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts continue their discussion of the Kingdom of God. Though many today seek a Kingdom of power and glory, God's Kingdom advances in weakness and humility. One day God will reign visibly with great power and majesty, but in the meantime his Kingdom advances through word and sacrament.

The Kingdom of God 1

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, March 14, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton How does God's Kingdom advance? Can we usher it in by our political or cultural endeavors? Will it come if enough people band together in pursuit of social justice? As the hosts discuss on this edition of the program, the Kingdom of God is not something that we build or bring in by our own activity, but rather is something that we receive by grace alone (Hebrews 12:28). Hebrews 12:28

How Does God Reveal Himself?

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, March 7, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Can we discover truth about God outside of the Bible, or is Scripture the only true source of heavenly knowledge? On this edition of the program the hosts will outline the distinction between general and special revelation. In the former, God reveals himself through creation, and in the latter he reveals himself in the pages Scripture and in the person of Christ. Though we can know many things about God by the things he has made, only Scripture reveals his good will toward us in the Gospel.

Grounded in the Gospel

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, February 28, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Throughout the history of the church, young believers and new converts to the faith went through a process called "catechism." What are the roots of this ancient practice, and why has it fallen out of use in contemporary Christianity? On this edition of the program Michael Horton talks with J.I. Packer and Gary Parrett, authors of an important new book on this subject titled, Grounded in the Gospel: Building Believers the Old Fashioned Way.

The Book of Galatians 5

Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, February 21, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton What does it mean to walk by the Spirit? How does our sanctification relate to our freedom in Christ and justification? The hosts discuss these issues and more as they conclude their five part series through Paul's letter the to the Galatians.

The Book of Galatians 4

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, February 14, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton On this edition of the program the hosts discuss Paul's allegory of two mountains, and two mothers in Galatians chapter 4. Why does the apostle argue that the present city of Jerusalem corresponds with Hagar, rather than Sarah? Why are the children of Mt. Sinai born in "slavery?" Though it may take a little work, understanding this allegory may be one of the best ways to understand the entire Bible. Galatians 4

The Book of Galatians 3

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, February 7, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton How does one qualify for God's heavenly inheritance? Does it come by obedience to the law, or by trusting the promise? In their continuing survey of Paul's letter to the Galatians, the hosts further outline the distinctions between the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants, and point to Christ alone as the ground of our acceptance before a righteous and holy God.

The Book of Galatians 2

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, January 31, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Series: Recovering Scripture On this program the hosts explain why Paul's letter to the Galatians is a good place to begin in order to understand the basic message of Scripture. In this letter Paul explains the difference between the covenant of grace promised to Abraham, and the national covenant made with the people of Israel at Mt. Sinai. At the heart of this discussion is whether our eternal destiny is determined by our own efforts and law keeping, or by God's promise to save his people "by grace alone through faith alone on account of Christ alone."

The Book of Galatians 1

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, January 24, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Series: Recovering Scripture What is the book of Galatians about, and what doctrines does it address? We recently put questions like these to students at an Evangelical Bible college, and their answers reveal once again that Christians themselves need to recover Scripture. On this edition of the program, the hosts interact with these on-the-street interviews and explain why Paul's letter to the Galatians is such a crucially important book to read and think through. The White Horse Inn: know what you believe, and why you believe it!

Recovering Scripture

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, January 17, 2010 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Series: Recovering Scripture George Gallop has commented that Americans revere the Bible, but don't read it. In fact, poll after poll, reveals an increasing trend toward biblical illiteracy, not only among those outside the church, but also among those who describe themselves as "born again," or Evangelical. On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts discuss the implications of this disturbing trend as they introduce their new series for 2010, Recovering Scripture.

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, December 27, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton On this edition of the White Horse Inn, Michael Horton talks with Pulitzer Prize winning author Marilynne Robinson about many of the themes she explores in her writings, such as the affects of Darwinism on human self-reflection, the significance of the theology of John Calvin, and the complexity of grace.

The Word Made Flesh

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, December 20, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Christianity is the religion of a book, and this particular book contains a good deal of words to be read, reflected upon, and applied. But God's word contains more than instructions on how we should all behave. Ultimately it points to a person, the Word of God made flesh, who descended from heaven in order to save the fallen race of mankind.

The End of Secularism

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, December 13, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Secularists have argued for many years that religion is an entirely private matter that should not inform public life and policy decisions. But what about secularism itself? Is it really a neutral position itself? On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts discuss these issues with Hunter Baker, author of The End of Secularism.

What is Discipleship?

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, December 6, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton What does it mean to be a follower of Christ? Should Christians focus more on "being the church" rather than going to church? Can we really "live the gospel?" On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts will interact with these questions and more as they discuss the nature and meaning of discipleship.

Christianity Confronts Islam

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, November 29, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton What is the meaning of Jihad? Is Islam really a religion of peace? What does the Koran say about terrorism? On this edition of the White Horse Inn, Michael Horton discusses these questions and more with Muslim scholar and former professor of Shari'ah law, Sam Solomon, who after his conversion to the Christian faith was forced to leave his country of origin.

The Preached Word

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, November 22, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton According to William Willimon, Christianity is kind of like a foreign language that one is not born with, but must be baptized into. Unfortunately, many preachers today are attempting to "translate" the faith into familiar and comfortable terms that people are used to, but the result, he argues, is that things get "lost in translation." William Willimon, author of Peculiar Speech: Preaching to the Baptized, joins the panel on this edition of the White Horse Inn.

Is Living Like Jesus Enough?

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, November 15, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Some postmodern Christians have begun to argue that what we believe is not as important as what we do, and that Christianity is primarily about "living like Jesus." But are good works enough? Don't we have to believe something? On this edition of the program the host discuss this issue with Michael Wittmer, author of Don't Stop Believing: Why Living Like Jesus is Not Enough.

A Survey of Christian Faith and Practice

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, November 8, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Have you ever heard of the doctrine of justification? What's the best way to summarize the Christian gospel? On this edition of the program the hosts interact with answers to questions like these as they walk through the results of a White Horse Inn survey of approximately 100 Christians.

The Reason for God

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, November 1, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton How can we believe in God when there is so much evil and suffering in the world? Isn't it arrogant to insist that Christianity is the only true religion? These questions and more will be addressed on this edition of the White Horse Inn as Tim Keller joins the panel to discuss his New York Times bestselling book, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism.

Applying God's Law

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, October 25, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Is the Bible merely a manual of timeless ethics? If so, what do we do with the various civil and ceremonial laws from the Old Testament? Are we, like Israel of old, called to cleanse the land of idolatry by a kind of holy war? How should we interpret and apply texts of this kind? These questions and more will be addressed on this edition of the White Horse Inn.

Christianity and Secular Culture

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, October 18, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton On this edition of the program, the hosts talk with international columnist Uwe Siemon-Netto about his career in journalism, as well as his conversion back to the faith of his childhood.

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, October 11, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton A friend tells you, "The Bible has a lot of nice stories but people take it too seriously because its really just a book written by men."

Tactics Part 1

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, October 4, 2009 Host: Dr. Michael Horton Not only is it important to "know what you believe and why you believe it," but it's also crucial that we learn how to effectively communicate those beliefs to outsiders. How, for example, do we avoid getting into heated arguments? What's the best way to challenge opposing points of view? On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts discuss these matters with Greg Koukl, president of Stand to Reason and author of Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions.

Special Book Offer! - Christless Christianity:
The Alternative Gospel of the American Church

Christless Christianity:
The Alternative Gospel of the American Church by Michael S. Horton

Is it possible that we have left Christ out of Christianity? Is the faith and practice of American Christians today more American than Christian? These are the provocative questions Michael Horton addresses in this thoughtful, insightful book. He argues that while we invoke the name of Christ, too often Christ and the Christ-centered gospel are pushed aside. The result is a message and a faith that are, in Horton's words, "trivial, sentimental, affirming, and irrelevant." This alternative "gospel" is a message of moralism, personal comfort, self-help, self-improvement, and individualistic religion. It trivializes God, making Him a means to our selfish ends. Horton skillfully diagnoses the problem and points to the solution: a return to the unadulterated gospel of salvation.
