24 - When “Gospel-Centered” Isn’t Gospel Enough
In this episode, we'll discuss the idea of being "gospel-centered" as well as some vulnerabilities of a truncated gospel message. Often people use the phrase “gospel-centered” to emphasize a focus on justification and soteriology while at times ignoring larger gospel themes in the Bible. How does this play out today? Who might be guilty of this truncated gospel? What movements have popularized the idea of being “gospel-centered?”“Creational Worldview,” Andrew Sandlin - https://amzn.to/3lDVHdo“What Does It Mean to Weep with Those Who Weep?” Kevin DeYoung - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/kevin-deyoung/what-does-it-mean-to-weep-with-those-who-weep/Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

22 - “Love Your Neighbor” Is the New “Judge Not”
In this episode, we'll explore how "loving your neighbor" replaced "judge not" as the latest widespread misapplication of the Bible. Jesus quotes Leviticus in Matthew 22 responding to a lawyer who tests him saying “you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Does this apply to health mandates? How should we apply this to government orders? How are we to understand God’s law today?Andrew Sandlin - https://pandrewsandlin.substack.com/p/vaccine-mandates-and-crony-statismSupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
