Those freed from spiritual blindness can’t help but worship Jesus, while those steeped in spiritual blindness can’t help but reject Jesus.

SBC President Dr. Steve Gaines represents the Traditionalist viewpont of Southern Baptist theology in regards to predestination. Their view is called the corporate view. Where historically did this come from? The stream starts with Karl Barth and Herschel Hobbs. Listen as Dr. Sean Cole interacts with statements by Dr. Gaines and delves into Baptist history and Ephesians 1.

Malachi 3:6-12: You honor the Lord when you consistently and faithfully practice proportional giving.

God is absolutely and meticulously sovereign over everything. The fear of the Lord comes in direct proportion to how much you worship, think about, and contemplate the absolute sovereignty of God. The more you think about and are aware of God’s sovereignty, the more your heart will fear Him and that fear will lead to humble obedience.

Dr. Sean Cole responds to the book "Pagan Christianity" by Frank VIola and George Barna who claim that the modern day expository sermon is a pagan invention and not found in Scripture. The underlying assumption of this "movement" is Anabaptist pragamatism. Many younger evaneglical leaders are falling prey to this dangerous teaching. This episode provides a strong warning and biblical corrective to "pagan Christianity."www.seancole.net
