The Israel Question Faith Debate: June 28th, 2026 (07/05/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) There seems to be quite a bit of controversy on the topic of Israel historically and presently – and, of course, conversation of what their future is – not only in the body of Christ, but in the world today. Consider the Scriptures of Romans chapters 9 through 11, among others, including John 4:22 which says, "Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews"? That's a lot to cover and chew on. Has this been on your mind lately? If so, then this edition of The Faith Debate is for you. This is part two of a three-part panel discussion. It's a good conversation, aiming to benefit you (and all listeners) by letting everyone hear an irenic attitude in a polemic world.

What happens when Christians forget that grace, not merit, is the foundation of election? In this concluding conversation with Dr. Alan Strange, we move from theology to public life and explore how the doctrine of election dismantles pride, reshapes political engagement, and calls believers to a posture of humility. As debates over nationalism, identity, and power continue to intensify, Dr. Strange argues that the church's greatest need is not political triumph but faithful Christian witness rooted in the unchanging love of God. And as the series closes, and before MarsCast takes a brief summer hiatus, returning in August 2026, we lift our eyes beyond every earthly nation to the coming kingdom that puts all politics in its proper perspective.

The Jew Question Faith Debate: June 21st, 2026 (06/28/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) With much recent controversy on the topic of Israel historically, presently, and in the future - what are Christians to make of passages such as John 4:22, Romans 9-11, and others? This certainly gave the panelists plenty to chew on in this reasoned and measured long-form conversation. This is ground that cannot possibly be covered adequately is a mere half-hour, so The Faith Debate is presenting the topic in a three-part series. This is part one, "The Jew Question". Parts two and three are titled "The Israel Question" and "The Jewish Question", respectively.

This sermon explores the monergistic nature of salvation as presented in Ephesians 1, emphasizing that God alone is the cause of redemption. The preacher defines biblical trust and belief not as intellectual exercises but as inevitable fruits of hearing the gospel, distinguishing them from mere mental assent or religious upbringing. Key theological points include being sealed by the Holy Spirit as a mark of possession and redeemed through Christ's ransom price, securing the believer's eternal inheritance. The message urges listeners to recognize that salvation is a purposeful work of God from eternity past, designed to inspire worship rather than theological debate. Ultimately, it calls the lost to repent and believe, assuring them that trusting in Christ guarantees they will never be put to shame.

The Nicene Creed (Filioque) The sermon explores the historical and theological significance of the filioque clause—'and the Son'—in the Nicene Creed, tracing its origins to the 6th-century Council of Toledo and its later adoption in the Western Church, which contributed to the East-West schism of 1054. It highlights how tensions over ecclesiastical authority, language barriers, and differing theological emphases exacerbated divisions, with the East viewing the clause as a unilateral alteration of an ecumenical creed and the West seeing it as a necessary affirmation of the Spirit's economic work through Christ. The sermon distinguishes between the economic Trinity—God's actions in creation and redemption—and the ontological Trinity—God's eternal being—arguing that the debate centers on whether the Spirit's economic procession from the Son reflects His eternal essence. Ultimately, it calls for humility, recognizing that human language and finite understanding cannot fully grasp the infinite mystery of God's inner life, and urges Christians to prioritize unity over doctrinal precision in the face of profound theological uncertainty.

John 9:4 'I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.' The sermon centres on Jesus' declaration in John 9:4—'I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day, the night cometh when no man can work'—as a profound call to urgent evangelism and soul-winning. It challenges the common assumption that suffering is always a result of sin, affirming instead that hardship can be a divine opportunity for God's glory to be revealed. The passage highlights Christ's mission to restore both physical and spiritual sight, exemplifying His priority of saving souls over theological debate or personal safety. The 'day' symbolises the brief window of life on earth, during which believers are called to be light in a dark world, actively engaging in evangelism, while recognising that eternal realities will offer no further chance for conversion. The message urges believers to live with a sense of divine urgency, emulating Christ's example by prioritising soul-winning and faithful witness, knowing that the opportunity to proclaim the gospel ends at death.

When Jesus describes the broad way in Matthew 7:13, he does not say it leads to hell. He says it leads to destruction. So are those the same thing? Is destruction another way of describing hell? Does destruction mean annihilation?

The Philosophy of Place Faith Debate: Sunday, June 14th, 2026 (06/21/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) Jon Harris is a lightning rod for commentary on church/politics/culture – emphasizing paleo-conservatism & localism. (But it's when discussing things overtly in the context of the gospel that he's at his best). He joins the show to talk with Troy & his wife. This episode doesn't focus on political theory, nor practical sociological strategy, nor aim to explain "How our nation gets there from here". Future episodes can debate questions of "empire", "Caesarian figures", the prospect of a present-day "Franco" (or other so-called "necessary evils"). It could be fun to go back-and-forth in defining "worldview", "ideology", "-isms", & the nuances involved in considering the "order of affections" – but we also don't do that in this episode. (Each of these would take a series of shows all their own- in fact, Jon's dedicated countless episodes of his podcast to these things, and so has The Faith Debate during its 22-year history). To categorize/label the show within the correct file of your brain, think in terms of us broadly tackling the questions of Christ & culture, and applying big themes in a niche way – drilling down on the philosophy & power of "place". "Christ and culture" questions have been asked/answered in various ways for generations. Should the church act in terms of Christ being against/of/above/in paradox with/or transformer of - culture? (With "place" as an aspect of culture). The Panelists: Troy Skinner. Founder, Household of Faith in Christ Dina Carole. "The Voice of Frederick" Jon Harris.

As Pastor McKinnon continues his sermon series on the office of deacon, he addresses the debated phrase in 1 Timothy 3:11, clarifying that 'women' likely refers to female helpers in ministry, not an official office of deaconess, and argues against such an office based on Scripture's consistent teaching that women are not to exercise authority over men in the church.
