  • #46 - Strongs G766

    Chance and I break out our Bibles and our Strongs Concordance to go down this train of sensuality in Scripture and how to define it.


    The intro song is a cover of Two Coats by The Abbot Family. You can listen to the full song at this link over at Toneway.com.

  • #45 - Dealing with Sensuality in Worship with Chance Snyder

    I sit down with my long-time friend and consistent guest of the show (maybe part-time co-host?), Chance Snyder, to discuss the problem of sensuality within the context of worship. Our society is chasing after feelings - good feelings, bad feelings, feelings of validation, any feelings at all, and they're eschewing logic and rationality. How do we deal with it? How do we navigate in a world where self is valued over the worship of God?

  • #44 - Denominational Mumbo Jumbo

    In this episode of Acceptable Words, I review and comment on a fine article written by Mark Tooley on the Juicy Ecumenism blog. In it, he discusses why this General Conference will be the last one of any significance for the United Methodist Church. I also talk about why I believe the Cumberland Presbyterian Church trails about 5-10 years behind the United Methodist Church in terms of following social and cultural trends.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Why it's important to understand the beliefs and practices of different Christian denominations.
    • The issue of LGBTQ inclusion is a hot button that needs to be addressed Scripturally.
    • The regionalization of the United Methodist Church allows different regions to have their own rules and policies.
    • The Reconquista movement aims to reclaim conservative values within liberal denominations.
    • Conservative members in liberal denominations face challenges and should probably consider alternative options.
    • These changes within denominations have a significant impact on their future and membership. The United Methodist Church is experiencing a decline and is likely to face further liberalization, leading to the exit of traditionalist churches and clergy.
    • The Cumberland Presbyterian Church is following a similar trajectory and needs to take action to preserve its biblical foundation.
    • The clergy pool in many denominations is shrinking, and young people pursuing ministry may look elsewhere.
    • Denominations are becoming less important institutionally in America, and American Christianity is becoming more post-denominational.

    • On Being Conservative in a Liberal Denomination

      This is probably one of the most important episodes of Acceptable Words I’ve ever done. Rev. Rian Lewis and talk about what it means to hold to the authority of Scripture while serving in denominations that seem to be rejecting Scripture on key issues like human sexuality and even the divinity and exclusivity of Jesus Christ. How does one navigate such treacherous waters? Listen and join us on this journey.

    • S3E14 - Paper or Plastic: A Response to a ChurchLeaders.com Article

      I take the time to respond to an article published by ChurchLeaders.com that brought to light a comment made by Rev. Dr. Harry Reeder III during his talk at a recent Ligonier conference. In this short episode, I rant and rave about why we should just leave some things along. (Yes, I realize my own hypocrisy. Lol.)

    About Acceptable Words

    From the publisher's feed

    My name is Wendell Logan Dixon, and I am a Christian, a husband, a pastor, and now an aspiring podcaster. Everyone else has a voice in the wilderness, so why not add mine to the rest of the cacophony? In this show, I hope to provide talks and interviews about faith, life, and a little bit of everything in between. Join me as I interview guests, share articles, and speak words that I hope are, at the very least, acceptable.
