Listen in as Gary is interviewed on the Plow and Potato show. The topic is the relationship between individual households and the State. Who's in charge, and what's their jurisdiction? These questions and many more are discussed in this short but insightful exchange.

Gary continues responding to a recent sermon by Jack Hibbs about the "end times." Pastor Hibbs try to connect Ezekiel with Matthew as if they are both speaking of the same events. This is not how exegesis, hermeneutics, or history is done. Pastor Hibbs is trying to connect biblical dots with a preconceived future interpretation.

Trying to Connect Ezekiel with Matthew

Gary responds to a recent video sermon by Pastor Jack Hibbs on Matthew 24 and asks "how close are we to the end?" Hibbs makes important hermeneutical points about reading this chapter through the eyes and understanding of Jesus' first century audience, but then quickly veers away from it.

Truly I Say To You

Gary comments on several recent news stories about people railing against Christianity. Consistent atheism is a misnomer and no one actually follows their "Imagine no god above us" worldview. They all borrow aspects of what they like from the Christian worldview to prop up their own. 

Atheism is a Religion

Gary responds to a video from a pastor who claims "politics are not spiritual because they are of this world." He refers to voting as a privilege that isn't related to Christians being "spiritual." Not only does he misunderstand what spiritual means, he also misunderstands what politics are and why we must be involved.

Politics is "Of This World"

Gary concludes his response to a recent Wallbuilders show with Mark David Hall on the influence of R.J. Rushdoony. As a historian, Mark David Hall doesn't appear to have done much research at all on Rushdoony. However, there is a simpler answer: many others have also professed ignorance of his writings (on nearly everything) in order to distance themselves from his theonomic and theocratic views.
