Warped Calvinism- Are There Conditions to God's Love
Here, we discuss where some take Calvinism too far as it pertains to soteriology and how Arminians, in some regards, are closet Calvinists. How Dispensationalists are losing their theological footing. And, finally, what are the dangers of any form of warped Christianity, and how Pastors can effect change?

Refuting The Law Gospel Distinction
In this episode, we discuss the relationship between law and gospel in Scripture and theology.
Key Takeaways
- The law-gospel antithesis is an unhelpful construct that does not accurately reflect Scripture.
- The law and gospel should be understood in light of God's covenants and kingdom.
- Reducing the gospel to mere indicatives or the law to mere imperatives is oversimplified.
- Scripture is sufficient - we should not read it primarily through the lens of extra-biblical sources.
- Faith is trusting in Christ, not just mental assent to doctrine. Our doctrine matures through sanctification.

Part Two- Sola Gratia
Sola Gratia- What is the offering of God to sinners of "grace alone" in the new world of Honor/Shame law and perpetual anger and outrage. What do we mean by Grace alone? What do we not mean? What are the Satan-warped ideas of grace polluting evangelicalism today?

Host: Eric Anderson | Producer: David Gonzales
Christians As Earthly and Heavenly Citizens
What is the relationship between our heavenly citizenship and our earthly life? According to Scripture, how ought the fact and privileges of our heavenly citizenship influence our earthly citizenship involvement? How do we go about weighing the ethical merits of two candidates when both have morally questionable features? Should the church be involved in politics? Is it possible for a biblical Christian to support the Democratic Party? Is a third-party vote a reasonable choice in this particular election? Is my vote more of a simple or a complex decision? How can I have a “clean conscience while voting in earthly elections?

The Lordship of Christ: Christians, Government and Culture…in a time of COVID-19 Crisis
On Sunday, May 17, Pastor Eric Anderson, Lifespring Church of Crosby, MN hosted a Zoom conversation with questions principally directed to Drs. Ardel Caneday and P. Andrew Sandlin concerning Christian thinking, Spheres of Sovereignty, Church, Worship, business, politics and COVID-19.
This was a 90 minute discussion and has been Re-formatted into an MP3 file, which is linked below. It is worth taking the time to listen to these seasoned Christian Leaders and theologians discuss these topics and address audience questions, beginning with a short refresher by Dr. Sandlin on the three spheres of God’s ordained Sovereignty over life in this world (Church, Family and Government)
The conversation ranged from discussing proper uses of the Apostle Paul’s instruction for Christians and the church in Romans 13, radical two-kingdom theology, the role of the church within society, whether churches should ever cancel public worship assemblies, whether the civil magistrate is bound to God’s law, America’s Founders’ view of human nature, the diabolical basis of coronavirus fear, and more.

Playing on the title of David Wells seminal work on the state of Evangelicalism, “No Place for Truth,” "we have called this occasional Zoom Meeting “A Place for Truth.” We seek to return Historic, Biblical "Orthodoxy" to the church, as we discuss and discern truth from error with God's people, through teaching and Q&A with experienced Pastors and Professors who have spent many years contending for The Truth, as revealed in God's Word (John 17:17)

Racism, Marxism, Guilt, Government and the Bible’s Prescription of both the Problem and the Solution
Wednesday Evening, June 24, Pastor Eric Anderson of Lifespring Church, Crosby, MN, hosted a Zoom Q&A with Drs Ardel Caneday and P Andrew Sandlin on discerning the current cultural crisis tearing apart both our society and sadly, many churches.
Topics included: How do we understand the current cultural divide (and conflict) going on, related to both our common heritage and our cultural divides and to racial and political tensions? What is racism? Is racism a sin? What are the roots of the riots and protests? What is Cultural Marxism? What worldview is behind the monument toppling? Should we leave conservative churches that have embraced “wokeness?”What is the relationship between our current struggles and a shifting cultural worldview below the surface?
Ardel Caneday and P. Andrew Sandlin are two men who have taught in academia and the church for many years, from the same consistent foundation: That the Bible is God’s authoritative Word and applicable to every difficult issue we face in life, including racism and political conflict. (II Timothy 3:16-17)
*Thank you to Aaron Carson for serving as secretary for this Zoom Meeting.

Contending Against The Woke Religion
"A Place for Truth" Zoom Series--Here is the Podcast from our Zoom Event "Contending Against the Woke Religion" from Wednesday evening (July 29, 2020), with Professors and Pastors Ardel Caneday, P. Andrew Sandlin, David Smith, and Bob Dalberg. We covered any number of topics and questions covering the dangers of this new Religion, under our shared conviction that Woke-ism, New Social Justice Movement, Racialism, Critical theory, etc. are dangerous departures from the True Gospel the moment they are taught, destroying the unity of the church's in which they are propagated. In spite of these very real threats to "the faith delivered once to the saints" our speakers also set their "flags" on the hope and victory of the true church over this false Gospel; For King Jesus Reigns, and his True Gospel brings true unity, destroying all Strongholds which the devil may bring at us. II Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
*Thank you to Steph Theis for serving as Secretary and David Gonzalas for running the controls
