Today we talk about what it means to have Jesus at the center of the church. The ways in which christians improperly judge, and are supposed to judge properly. We also discuss centering around the person of Christ, being neither bounded by legalism nor becoming fuzzy by relativism. Gal 2-3 Here are two questions to think about from the sermon today: - What are some ways you see fence building in Churches? - How can we as a church help lead people towards this well of Jesus, the living water of Jesus and not draw fences?

Genesis 1:1 | Ben Potloff | "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1 ESV). What Christians believe to be true comes from what the Bible teaches the most and the clearest (Gavin Ortlund, Finding the Right Hills to Die On). From the very first verse of our Bible, God clearly and epically reveals one of the most important and foundational truths about himself: Before anything was made, there was God, and God made everything.MAIN IDEAGod made everything.OUTLINEI. There is a God who has always been.II. There is a God who created all there is.

There are a lot of people in our culture today “deconstructing” their faith. But what does that even mean? For some people, this means turning away from Christianity entirely. That's why the term “deconstruction” is often tied to deconversion stories. But for others, deconstruction means intentionally evaluating their beliefs to see what is true and what isn't. In this episode, Shanna and Kristen consider how we should respond to this movement. We actually look at deconstruction from many different angles and see how the Bible plays into this current cultural moment.

In 2005, Al Mohler wrote an article about the call to Christian maturity through triaging theological issues. As with prioritizing particular injuries and illnesses in a hospital, there's great need for ranking theological issues in order of importance within the church.At TGC21, Matt Smethurst moderates a panel with Al Mohler, Gavin Ortlund, and Afshin Ziafat as they discuss how to separate primary, secondary, and tertiary theological beliefs. Smethurst defines the three categories as follows:Primary doctrines are central to Christianity—things you have to agree on to be a Christian.Secondary doctrines separate churches and create denominations due to differing beliefs. These are things you must agree on in order to be church members in the same body.Last-order issues aren't definitional for any kind of confessional system, and they allow Christians to remain unified while holding their differing beliefs.Gavin Ortlund shares that love should always be the driving motivation in finding where one's church stands on theological beliefs. He says, “When we notice we are being too sectarian and fighting too much, it is helpful to ask if this is becoming a form of self-justification.” Ortlund reminds us we're saved by grace alone, through faith in Christ alone.Recommended resource: Finding the Right Hills to Die On: The Case for Theological Triage by Gavin Ortlund

Have you discovered that there are some things in life that just are not worth fighting over? But when it comes to Bible doctrine, how can we discern negotiable truths from essential beliefs of the Christian faith?   Chris Brooks will dig deep into those questions and offer solid benchmarks for finding the right hills to die on.

Most of this class is spent on developing a ‘theological triage,' with this principle at play: the clearer and more significant, the less flexible we are. Using Gavin Ortlund's Finding the Right Hills to Die On, we bring out topics about which Christians in the same church can disagree and remain in fellowship (3rd-tier). Then, we'll consider areas under categories of wisdom: showing our church the responsibility to seek wisdom, knowing that any liberty can quickly become a sin.

On this episode of Weekend Debrief, Dave and Wes discuss multiple questions regarding the end times from the summer series on Revelation. They talk through the following topics: How can we know if the events of Revelation are happening today? What do I do when there are multiple views of a passage? What should I do if the view I hold is challenged? What should I do if a scholar or pastor I trust holds a view that I now think is wrong? Send comments or questions to (971) 301-2414.

The book I recently read and reviewed in our last episode - ‘Finding the Right Hills to Die On' by Gavin Ortlund - has a certain ‘How To Guide to Ecumenism' feel to it throughout. As I think about ecumenism, an awareness dawns on me how much of it has marked my own Christian life as a 35-year-old American. My father was raised Mennonite, my mother attended Pensacola Christian and Bob Jones University. They both met at Cedarville University. In high school, my part-time job was at the Highland County Family YMCA in Hillsboro, Ohio. I also attended the ‘One Way' non-denominational Bible Study. What's more, First Baptist Church of Hillsboro, Ohio - where Lauren and I met, and she grew up, held joint-services with many of the other churches in town, irrespective of denomination, for Christmas Eve every year. Before moving back to Montana in 2012, I occasionally listened to K-Love for years. But come to think of it, pretty much any Contemporary Christian Music is like this. Stripped of most lyrical particulars which might aggravate doctrinal differences between denominations, the mass market appeal is also a kind of ecumenism. After we left FBC, Lauren and I attended Good News Gathering in Hillsboro, Ohio. Though affiliated with Willow Creek on some level, the church nevertheless emphasized sticking to the gospel and being seeker-friendly. I also participated in Kairos Prison Ministry in Southern Ohio once. The volunteers - clergy and laymen - hailed from diverse denominations. The point was to focus on the gospel, and primarily to make converts among residents of correctional institutes and prisons so as to make them Christians without stressing a certain tradition or confusing anyone with in-depth theology and doctrinal concerns. When we moved to Eastern Montana, we attended CMA churches in Glendive, Savage, and Sidney. At the root, the CMA sets aside many historical denominational distinctions in favor of the making disciples of all nations, preaching the gospel all over the world. Besides this, I have encountered more and more in recent years the increasing influence of The Gospel Coalition seemingly everywhere online, with it seeming to be the preferred resource for weblink shares from pastor friends and family members of mine all over the U.S. Yet all of this brings me to a question that came up in reading Gavin Ortlund's 'Finding the Right Hills to Die On' this past week, and in reading so much on theology and church history the past year. The more I study both Church History as well as Modern History, the more unusual, superficial, and disproportionate the ideal of Unity as it's been presented seems in comparison to the level of depth to discussion and debate which seems to have marked the faith and practice of the Church the past two millennia. All over the U.S., the more in-depth the study and subsequent discussion, the harder the pushback seems to be to embrace a kind of latent liberalism which is called humility and peace in the interest of the core gospel message. And yet the more peace and unity with liberalism is stressed, on liberalism's terms, the less recognizable many examples and ideals of the Bible and the historic Reformation feel. Is this just my imagination, or is there a history to the past century of what we call ecumenical that can explain what forces and influences gave rise to this emphasis today on setting aside disagreements as often as possible in favor of ready agreement and a forgoing of more rigorous researching? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

A recurring theme of Gavin Ortlund's ‘Finding the Right Hills to Die On - The Case for Theological Triage' is the overall effect of doctrinal concerns. Not principally theological, but rather practical questions are asked by him here, like about what is going to be impacted in the life of the Church or individual Christians if a disagreement is allowed to stand or expand without being properly categorized and resolved. We cannot go to the extreme in the ways Ortlund is describing. If we do, we will become mercenary and godless, picking our battles based on what is going to move the needle on our expanding and maintaining influence and that ever-elusive but much-sought-after material known as "relevance." Speaking of triage, loving the Lord our God with all our being is the first and greatest commandment. The second - loving our neighbor as we love ourselves - is like it, and related, but it is not the first. Yet in loving God first, best, and most, we ought to take care how we handle doctrinal disputes with fellow believers. Not all disagreements are created equal. And inherent to the title is the claim that there are hills worth dying on. Ortlund's second chapter in particular does a fine job explaining the danger of what he calls "Doctrinal Minimalism," as well as how prevalent it is today. 'Pick your battles' is both a truism and a true piece of advice, worth repeating and believing. Or, to quote Solomon in the wisdom literature of the Old Testament, "Be neither too good nor too wise, for why should you destroy yourself?" And with such admonitions in mind, Ortlund asks us to consider some practical questions before we wade into the fray of theological disputes with brothers and sisters in Christ. How clear is the Bible on this doctrine? What is this doctrine's importance to the gospel? What is the testimony of the historical church with regards to this doctrine? What is this doctrine's effect on the church today? Now a note is needed here. Just like we can have disagreement which leads us to asking these questions, we can definitely also have disagreement as to the best answers to these clarifying "theological triage" questions. Take Young Earth Creationism, for instance. Gavin and I disagree on how clear the Bible is that the six days of creation in Genesis are to be read as literal days instead of ages of the Earth. We also, I sense, disagree as to how important YAC is to the gospel. There's the first two already. When we come to his third and fourth questions, then, Ortlund enlists Augustine, Aquinas, Spurgeon, and Machen in making the case that there has been some honest head-scratching as to what to make of the first few chapters of Genesis, even among the most respected Christian leaders of the past two millennia. Furthermore, Ortlund concludes that the effect of various positions with regards to the age of the Earth and literal versus figurative interpretations of Genesis is pretty negligible. Just so, I suspect Ortlund would discourage overmuch delving into debate about Creationism. So also, yet with less evidence, he categorizes disagreement about the ordination of women as being of tertiary importance. So also, he enlists Machen to put eschatological doctrines in the tertiary category. Love, humility, and unity, however, Ortlund puts in a place of chief importance. And perhaps this needs to be so, yet without some conclusions necessarily following. For instance, I fail to see why 'Finding the Right Hills to Die On' should be read primarily by pastors and leaders. Also, I should hate to see this book used to the end of short-sighted censorship and gatekeeping in the Church. Though the Devil is thus in the details and definitions, I found this book well-written, and I think it can be useful as a personal guide generally if Ortlund's qualifiers are applied carefully. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

When it comes to understanding the nuances of Trinitarianism, see also Chapter 1 of Matthew Barrett's ‘None Greater' concerning the Incomprehensibility of God. That said, between 'None Greater' and 'Simply Trinity,' Matthew Barrett has made me aware of a great many things which were entirely unknown to me before, but which now sorely need further study. For one, Jurgen Moltmann seems now to be the best kept secret in modern theology, and both his legacy and his work bears closer scrutiny. For two, Social Trinitarianism is highly disturbing and – I will repeat myself from last episode – should more rightly be called Socialistic Trinitarianism. The breadth and scope of philosophical and political agendas which have been argued from a hijacking of Trinitarian doctrine is, dare I say it, nauseating. By contrast, it is perhaps equal parts encouraging and depressing to look at the historic creeds and confessions of Christian faith from the past 2,000 years and to realize how seriously past our forebearers in the Church took doctrine. ‘Doctrinal Minimalism' - Gavin Ortlund uses this helpful term in ‘Finding the Right Hills to Die On,' another work I'm reading today and almost finished with; and I would say that term as Ortlund uses it accurately describes too much of what I've observed in my own personal experience in the church. That is, whatever is not the core and central Gospel is too often dismissed as being not really important and not mattering much. And yet it's sobering to remember that previous generations of Christians in some cases quite literally lost their lives because they believed so strongly in some of these points which we today so often don't even deign to consider or study for fear of divisiveness and controversy. That said, one concern I have with regards to delving deeply into historic Church Councils and Creeds is that we would lapse back to where the Roman Catholic Church was at when reformers like Luther and Calvin brought up legitimate issues hundreds of years ago, giving rise to what we now know of as Protestantism. That is, the fallback position returns again to the authority of popes, councils, and tradition over and against the plain meaning of Scripture, and there is no recourse. The counterpoint I think Barrett helpfully distinguishes between here is Sola Scriptura on the one hand, and what Barrett terms ‘Solo Scriptura' on the other. That is, the difference here is between the Bible being regarded as the only infallible source of authority for Christian faith and practice on the one hand, and on the other hand anything outside of the Bible being dismissed out-of-hand. Needless to say, I still have much grappling yet to do in weighing and measuring and studying further. But for the time being, I will say Barrett's work in 'Simply Trinity' was helpful to me in giving me a better understanding of historically orthodox Trinitarianism. And I am thankful for that. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

Est-ce que les chrétiens ont raison? Quelles différences acceptables entre chrétiens?

Throughout the confusion and chaos of much modern Christianity, the dreaded "h" word (heretic) is tossed about with reckless derision toward anyone opposing certain stated "truths." Seemingly, more than ever, the divisions between Christ-followers are widening, and believers are choosing many hills or, by contrast, almost zero hills to "die on." As we survey the Christian landscape, taking in the division while submitting to the truth, the question that stares each of us in the face is: what is absolutely foundational to true Christianity? Or stated otherwise: what hills should Christians be willing to die defending? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Dashawn Cousins and Adam Powers discuss: [05:13] - Why is a discussion on this subject so important? [21:49] - Christian liberties [22:58] - Abortion [25:38] - Substitutionary atonement [27:03] - The infallibility of Mary and her ability to intercede between us and Jesus [27:23] - The virginity of Mary [32:25] - The Trinity [36:18] - The infallibility of the Bible [39:12] - Calvinism vs Arminianism [42:52] - Dashawn's hill to die on [44:31] - Adam's hill to die on [46:31] - Aaron's hill to die on Guest Hosts Dashawn Cousins Adam Powers Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  SonRise Community Church Finding the Right Hills to Die On by Gavin Ortlund Out of Oz 0202: Will Catholics be in Heaven?

I came to Ortlund's book hoping he can help me do triage. I have a doctrine in mind which I see as a first-level issue but some see it as a second- or even third-level issue. I think it's urgent and important, while others are indifferent. Will Ortlund help me?

Jesus prayed that His church would be united, but many of us experience the church as just the opposite. Churches are divided against other church, and are often divided within themselves. Unfortunately, division is easier than unity. How can we become more unified with our fellow believers, as Christ longs for us to be?In part one, Pastors Alvin Summers and Eli Blalock discuss why what we believe matters and how it sets the foundation for our unity. In other words, we are unified by our theology. Listen in to learn how theology can be a source of unity rather than division. EDITOR'S NOTE: about halfway through the episode, Eli uses the term "theological triage" and attributes it to the wrong author. That term has been used by several authors, but Eli had in mind a book by Gavin Ortlund called Finding the Right Hills to Die On: The Case for Theological Triage.You can help us get the word out!

On today's episode, Bryan and Aaron discuss the issue of secondary separation and how it relates to theological triage. Doctrinal and ecclesiastical separation has been an issue that has plagued the independent Baptist movement as well as the Southern Baptist Convention. The discussion today focuses on the only two biblical reasons to separate from a brother in Christ, as well as stepping through a framework toward deciding whether or not a certain issue is worth separating over.The book mentioned today was Finding the Right Hills to Die On by Gavin Ortlund.You can reach Bryan at preachersamms@gmail.com and Aaron at aaron@rivercitybaptist.church.

Deconstruction is a hot term, but what does it even mean? Does deconstruction always lead to deconversion? Or can people “deconstruct” their faith and actually reconstruct their faith to be stronger and more biblical? Is deconstruction a good or bad thing? What if we're wrestling with our beliefs and wanting to deconstruct? How should we go about it? What if we know someone who is questioning or rejecting Christiainity? How can we support them? Most importantly, how does the Bible play into all of this?   Connect with us: www.dailygracepodcast.com www.thedailygraceco.com https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/ https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/   Questions?

Matt chats with Gavin Ortlund about his book, Finding The Right Hills to Die On. “In theology, just as in battle, some hills are worth dying on and others are not. But how do we know which ones? When should doctrine divide, and when should unity prevail?” Matt also asks Gavin if there's any friendly competition in the family of authors. Plus, he tries to get to the bottom of what was in the water at the Ortlund household to raise not just a family full of wonderful theologians, but great, godly people. So they talk about parenting to start things off in the interview, before settling into figuring out which hills to die on. ABOUT: Gavin Ortlund Gavin Ortlund is Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church of Ojai in Ojai, California and the author of books including Theological Retrieval For Evangelicals Why We Need Our Past to Have a Future; Finding The Right Hills To Die On: The Case for Theological Triage — the primary subject of our episode; and his latest book: Why God Makes Sense In A World That Doesn't: The Beauty of Christian Theism.
