The Whole Counsel

Benefits and Dangers of Reading Old Writers (With Jeremy Walker)

Anyone who has been around The Whole Counsel long enough will know we love reading from the old writers and preachers. We believe there are incredible benefits to reading from men and women who were particularly gifted by God to speak truth into their times.

 

But as much as we love reading them, we are aware there are ditches we can easily fall into. To help discuss these benefits and dangers, Jeremy Walker, host of A Word in Season and From the Heart of Spurgeon podcasts, joins John via video call.

Dead Works (Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen)

Salvation is no easy feat for man. In fact, it is impossible for man to save himself. It is a work only God can do. But that begs the question, why. Why is it so hard for man to be saved? Why is it impossible for man to save himself? John and Chuck dissect the sermon The Righteous are Scarcely Saved by Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen in this week’s The Whole Counsel Podcast.

The Heinousness of Sin (Joseph Bellamy)

Why does sin bother the Christian? It is because God gives His children an understanding of the ugliness of sin that an unbeliever simply cannot grasp. David’s prayer, “Against you and you only have I sinned.” is incomprehensible to one who does not understand sin. Presenting a biblical picture of sin is the point of Joseph Bellamy’s sermon that John and Chuck are discussing in this week’s podcast episode.

Total Depravity (Gilbert Tennent)

Few doctrines have been so misunderstood and abused than that of total depravity. However, it is an important truth we must wrestle with in our pursuit of seeing salvation in full color. In this week’s episode, John Snyder and Chuck Baggett highlight a sermon preached by Gilbert Tennent titled “The Wretched State of the Unconverted.”

The Law of God (Samuel Hopkins)

In this week’s episode, John and Chuck discuss a sermon preached by Samuel Hopkins on the Law of God. The Law of God is an expression of God’s character. It is perfect, infinite, authoritative, and beautiful to the believer. It is hated, despised, and ugly to the unbeliever. Hopkins give help to how we should understand and apply God’s law to our New Testament stance with God and seven questions we should ask ourselves to see if we are right with God or if we simply have religion.

Salvation in Full Color Introduction

In this inaugural episode of The Whole Counsel (previously The Behold Your God Podcast) John introduces several of the changes to the podcast. We are in a new location, we have a new cohost (welcome Chuck Baggett) and we have a new sound. But lots of things are staying the same. We are still discussing the same eternal truths and we are still looking to writers and pastors of the past for help.

This week John and Chuck introduce the source material we will be using over the next several weeks. This book is Salvation in Full Color. Links to where you can find are at www.mediagratiae.org.
