"I rejoice at your word like one who finds great spoil." – Psalm 119:162
In this episode we went through Ezekiel chapter 6 – the “idolatry” chapter – in its entirety in the first half of the program. Then, in the second half, we discussed the Satan statue proposed for the Oklahoma state capitol lawn, the American civil religion, discrimination, and yes, more on idolatry!

Back at it again, in this episode we finish out Ezekiel chapter 5!
Then, in the Inquisition, Thomas first named the top 3 apologists of the 20th/21st centuries he could off the top of his head, and then Pastor discussed baptism, including such elements as why some (Reformed, Baptist, and Reformed Baptist) folks get mad when the (Church of Christ) Duck Dynasty crew believes that baptism is necessary for salvation, and why he Baptized his newborn son immediately after the birth.
Then we discussed how Pastors and apologists have similar job descriptions; i.e. “killing and making alive” with law and Gospel, and how a Pastor does this with believing parishioners and the apologist with the unbelieving folks.
