Critical Issues Commentary Radio
Summary: Critical Issues Commentatry grew out of Bob DeWaay's passion to equip the saints for the work of ministry. In the late 1980's Bob met regularly with a group of local pastors, often presenting position papers on timely doctrinal issues. When he found that the messages were accepted by only a few of the attendees and rarely reached the pews, he chose to speak directly to the people by initiating a bimonthly newletter. Bob DeWaay is teacher and theologian at Gospel of Grace Fellowship in Edina, MN. Gospel of Grace Fellowship can be found on the web at http://www.gospelofgracefellowship.org/ where you can listen to sermons and other teachings.

Podcasts:
The Lure of Paganism, Part 2, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. The tendency is for the world to infiltrate the church through its pagan thinking. Pagan tendencies are: 1) no distinction between nature and the supernatural; 2) spiritual immanence with no transcendence; and 3) no distinction between the subjective... (duration 00:25:31)
The Lure of Paganism, Part 1, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. Throughout the Bible, the lure of pagan thinking and practices was always a danger for believers. We discuss three uses of the word kosmos from the Greek and how one in particular is the "world" that Christians must avoid. (duration 00:25:33)
A Time of Visitation: Two-Domain Theology Part 3, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. We continue to discuss implications of the need to go from the darkness of Satan's domain into the light of Christ. This happens only through the gospel. (duration 00:29:48)
Christ is Savior and Lord, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. This program examines the "Lordship Salvation" issue. We show from the Scriptures that for all true Christians Jesus is Savior and Lord. (duration 00:25:40)
Greater Works Than These Understanding John 14:11, 12, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. Some have claimed that John 14:11 teaches that some Christians are going to do greater miracles than Jesus did. We use careful, Biblical exegesis to show that the passage does not teach greater miracles, but the spreading of the gospel. (duration 00:23:50)
The Hebrew Lament and the Problem of Evil, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. This program examines Old Testament passages where the Hebrew people lamented the evil in the world. By studying Job and other similar material we see what answers the Bible gives to the problem of evil and suffering. (duration 00:25:49)
Revival and the Narrow Gate, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. This program shows that the Bible does not predict that the masses of people will embrace the Gospel. We examine passages in the New Testament where there were masses of people who did respond, but that only a remnant remained faithful to the Gospel. (duration 00:25:45)
No Third Option: Two-Domain Theology, Part 2, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. We need to believe what the New Testament says about spiritual domains. Many think the problem is lack of awareness. It is actually lack of faith in what has been revealed. That we are in the domain of Christ does not imply that we can do the miracles... (duration 00:33:48)
Escaping From Satan's Domain: Two-Domain Theology, Part 1, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. Every person in the world is either under the domain of Satan or the domain of Jesus Christ. Many people do not think about what spiritual domain they are in, but do want symptom relief. If we are redeemed we are called to go to Christ with our needs... (duration 00:32:24)
Our Hope of Glory: Colossians 3:3-4, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. On the heels of the admonition to seek things above, Paul reminds us that we have died to this sinful world. That we died is a reminder of what Paul said earlier in Colossians about baptism. The bible describes conversion as an event... (duration 00:34:10)
True Transcendence: Colossians 3:2, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. We need to be thinking according to the biblical revelation of the true Christ who is transcendent to the creation. For the Christian, above denotes the domain of the resurrected Christ. Both the domain of Satan and the domain of Christ are spiritual... (duration 00:29:19)
Seek the Things Above: Colossians 3:1, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. Paul admonishes us using imperatives about what to seek and how to think. True faith in Christ will never make us useless in the lives we live on the earth seeking Him and thinking with renewed minds. (duration 00:29:10)
Self Imposed Piety: Colossians 2:23, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. Every culture has its own version of wisdom that is expressed in aphorisms. The error of the false teachers in Colossae was man-made wisdom that produces their own version of piety. Self-chosen piety was grounded in severe restrictions... (duration 00:35:39)
Do Not Submit to the Traditions of Men: Colossians 2:21-22, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. The dogma that was wrongly placed on the Colossians came from human traditions and evil spirits. These were strict laws that God never gave. They create a false sense of piety while leading people away from Christ. (duration 00:33:29)
Died With Christ to the Hostile Powers: Colossians 2:20, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. We continue to study Paul's warnings about false teachers who wanted to make plunder of the Colossian Christians. This passage assumes that we have died with Christ and are therefore out of the control of the hostile, spiritual powers. (duration 00:39:12)
