Reclaiming The Faith Ep. 108 - Matchsticks and Unconditional Election

<p>In Episode 108 I discuss a rather unfortunate comment made by Mark Driscoll several years ago about some of his hearers being matchsticks. I then examine writings of Martin Luther and John Calvin that could have contributed to Mark’s thought process. Finally, I examine how the idea of unconditional election played a role in shaping the Puritan’s views and treatment of Native Americans. You can hear Driscoll’s comment on human matchsticks on the podcast, <a href= "https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/podcasts/rise-and-fall-of-mars-hill/rise-fall-mars-hill-podcast-bible-ringo.html"> The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill</a> by Christianity Today.</p> <p>Show Notes:</p> <p>The Faithful Podcast with Stephanie Baker -<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> <a href= "https://faithfulpodcast.podbean.com/">faithfulpodcast.podbean.com</a></p> <p>Phil’s Website – <a href= "https://philsbaker.com">https://philsbaker.com</a></p> <p>Patreon Page - <a href= "http://patreon.com/philsbaker">patreon.com/philsbaker</a></p> <p>Apple Podcasts Channel - Reclaiming the Faith</p> <p>Book <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/New-Wineskins-Simple-Words-Christ/dp/1940269792"> New: Wineskins and the Simple Words of Christ</a></p> <p>BDK - <a href= "http://www.omegafrequency.com">www.omegafrequency.com</a></p> <p>Contact me – <a href= "mailto:emailphilsbaker@gmail.com">emailphilsbaker@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Early Christian Resources - <a href= "https://thehistoricfaith.com/">The Historic Faith</a></p> <p>The Ante-Nicene Writings - <a href= "https://www.scrollpublishing.com/store/more-CD-ANF.html">https://www.scrollpublishing.com/store/more-CD-ANF.html</a></p>
