When you are tempted to think you are at war with fellow Christians

March 25, 2021 by wagraham Leave a Comment

When you are tempted to think you are at war with fellow Christians, remember: Christ “has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.” If it’s true for Jewish persons and Gentiles, how much for us already a new creation in Christ (Eph 2:15)?

Social media, online communication, and the speed of the news tempt us to vilify each other for clout, sales, or whatever else. Often, however, the real war is the war in our heart—it deceives and tempts us (James 4:1). [Read more…] about When you are tempted to think you are at war with fellow Christians

Impassibility Is Good News for the Soul

March 16, 2021 by wagraham 1 Comment

Impassibility means that God has no nerves, blood, or flesh. So he doesn’t get hangry, mad due to lack of sleep, or dopey. He is Spirit (John 4:24). So he doesn’t have emotions that fluctuate on the basis of hunger or lack of sleep.

He is not like the Greek and Roman gods whose vices are ever so human. They commit adultery, become enraged, and so on.

Theological Triage: What’s of First Importance?

March 15, 2021 by wagraham 1 Comment

When it comes to theological triage, Paul calls the Gospel (the story of Jesus and its climactic moments) of first importance:

“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.”

I strongly suspect that Paul here defines what he means by “raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” as he has done something similar with the cross in the beginning of the letter.

Episode 34: Wyatt Graham on Two-Kingdoms Teaching

March 5, 2021 by wagraham Leave a Comment

In this episode, I talk about two-kingdoms teaching as presented in the early to mid 16th century. I try to show how such a teaching can help us a sort of political theology to make sense of how we relate to governing authorities. Afterwards, two lawyers (Chad Graham and Kristopher Kinsinger) discuss the topic with me.
