This week Pastor Wilson talks about lesser magistrates, C.S. Lewis’ book, “The Weight of Glory”, and the greek word antiloidoreo. Thanks for tuning in!

Show Notes:

Lesser Magistrates:

• The doctrine of the lesser magistrate is a doctrine that is very relevant in our day
• For example marijuana is allowed by the lesser magistrates and not the federal magistrates
• Conservative states that do not conform to the federal standard of abortion is another example
• Our reasons for asking the lesser magistrates to stand up to the bad guys should be grounded in scripture
• Book IV of Calvin’s Institutes addresses this problem with civil magistrates very well

The Weight of Glory:

• Written by C.S. Lewis
• Small collection of Lewis’ more famous essays
• This book is one to return to again and again
• Lewis sets the boundaries of what it is like to seek glory

Antiloidoreo:

• This word means to “revile again”, returning bile for bile, spite for spite
• Used in 1 Peter 2:23
• When someone else starts the sinning, the easiest thing in the world is to pay him back in his own coin
• But this is precisely what Jesus did not do

Show Notes:

Campus Intoleristas:

• The other night Wilson took part in an event on campus that was full of young intoleristas
• Too often conservative Christians look at campus radicals and see the justice warrior type and forget these are kids who have never had anyone love them enough to say no
• We need to see campus activism as being a thin veneer cover to a vast cavernous father-hunger
• Campus politics is not a political problem, it is a spiritual problem

Blood Bought World:

• Written by Toby Sumpter
• This book has an amazing ability to present basic, orthodox, confessional, biblical truths in a new and robust way
• A very fabulous book, go get it!

Antithesis:

• Refers to the opposition that false information or knowledge present to the faith
• Found once in the Greek New Testament: 1 Tim. 6:20-21

Show Notes:

Woke Evangelicalism:

• By abandoning discussion of Christ and His cross we are abandoning any hope for a reconciliation
• A reparation movement is going to make race relations far worse
• Wilson is not opposed to the universal harmony that the woke are pursuing. Rather, he is opposed to misguided proposals that will make things worse

Nation of Rebels:

• Written by Andrew Potter and Joseph Heath
• This book shows that the idea of counterculture in America is an illusion
• It shows that the counterculture is the mainstream culture

Antidiatithemai:

• Rendered as those who set themselves up in opposition
• Found in 2 Tim. 2:25
• This native opposition is hard to overcome
• Paul says that it is sometimes overcome by means of meek and patient instruction

This week Pastor Wilson talks about jury nullification and gives us his personal account of being jury duty himself. Then he plods on to review Justin Dyer and Micah Watson’s book, “C.S. Lewis On Politics and Natural Law”. Then Pastor Wilson wraps things up by taking a look at the Greek word anosios. Happy Plods!

Show Notes:

Jury Nullification:

• Juries have authority over the law and not just over the person accused
• Pastor Wilson was selected to be the foreman of a jury
• If you have the opportunity to serve in a jury you should
• You should also read up on jury nullification before you serve

C.S. Lewis On Politics and Natural Law:

• Written by Justin Dyer and Micah Watson
• C.S. Lewis claims to be bored by politics, but this book shows C.S. Lewis was a sophisticated political thinker
• He is profoundly conservative in his outlook on politics, and is very much a classical liberalist
• If you are interested in political theory, natural law, political science, and C.S. Lewis then this is your book

Anosios:

• Rendered as unholy
• Used in 1 Tim. 1:9, 2 Tim. 3:2
• Too many Christians see holiness in terms of a seraphic countenance and an implied halo, and thusly see unholiness as the mere absence of that -- a state of being ordinary
• But as Paul uses unholy here, it means polluted and defiled

Show Notes:

Declaration of War & the Constitution:

• Congress is assigned the duty to declare war by the constitution
• Congress wants the ability to authorize war and take credit for it if it goes well, but they want deniability if war goes poorly
• Conservative Christians need to believe that congress is responsible to declare war and they should not be permitted to shuffle out of it

The Case for Trump:

• Written by Victor Davis Hanson
• Hanson is acutely aware of Trump’s ridiculousness
• He gives an amazing metaphor comparing Trump to chemotherapy
• 2 situations in the 2020 election: 4 more years of chemo or a returning cancer

Anomos:

• Rendered as without law
• Used twice in Romans 2:12

Show Notes:

Russian Collusion:

• It was concluded that there was no collusion with Trump and Russia

Democrats & Crazy Time:

• All of the announced Democratic candidates voted against saving the lives of newborn babies that survive a botched abortion
• One of these Democratic candidates is going to get roughly 50% of America’s votes
• On the left it’s crazy at the top, it’s crazy in the rhetoric, and it’s crazy all the way down

• If we look over to the right—the world is not ending. If we look over to the left—man.

Learning Contentment:

• Written by Pastor Wilson’s wife Nancy Wilson
