The Glory-Cloud Podcast

This week we take Meredith Kline’s courageous willingness to follow the biblical text wherever it goes, and we look 1 Timothy 2:11-13.  We consider most of the questions that have arisen because of this text.  Is the answer egalitarianism?  Complementarianism?  Hopefully this is helpful for both men and women.  Please listen, tell others, and let us know what you think!   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) Women in Church Office by Gordon P.

This week we continue our discussion about what Meredith Kline’s theology has to say about men, women, and gender roles.  We keep our focus on Kline’s eschatology, but we also engage Kline’s protology in Genesis.  Hopefully this is helpful for both men and women.  Please listen, tell others, and let us know what you think!   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) Joel 2:28-29 Galatians 3:28 1 Timothy 2 1 Corinthians 11 Genesis 1:28 Genesis 2:24 Genesis 3:16 Classical Pastoral Care: Pastoral Counsel by Thomas Oden   Connect with us on: Facebook Twitter YouTube Spotify iHeartRadio Feedburner  Stitcher Libsyn iTunes Gab Minds Steemit

This week we talk about a particular kind of person who is attracted to Christian churches.  This episode may be the least related to Meredith Kline’s theology.  But Kline’s understanding of the fall certainly helps us to see how there can be narcissists and manipulators.  We hope you benefit from this discussion.

In this episode, we talk about a very difficult topic.  If you have children younger than teenagers who listen to the podcast, this episode is probably not for them.  First, we spend some time talking about a general approach to ministering to a local church on the part of pastors and elders.  Next, we turn to the topic of pornography.  As it turns out, what Kline taught us about the nature of the New Covenant has profound implications for helping those who struggle with pornography.  We hope this is helpful to you, and we welcome your feedback.   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) Colossians 1:28 Revelation 3:7-9 Romans 13:8-10 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 Classical Pastoral Care: Pastoral Counsel by Thomas Oden The Insufficiency of Scripture by T.

Though we are not talking specifically about nouthetic counseling this week, we are talking about what Meredith Kline’s biblical theology might have to say to us about how we should counsel people in our churches.  First we talk about verbal and non verbal ways of helping each other.  Then we talk about some general principles of love, grace, and care.  We hope you benefit from this discussion.

Staying with our Meredith Kline Applied series, we start a new section on counseling.  This week we critique nouthetic counseling.  The main reason for this is it was the counseling model that we were taught in seminary.  It is also a popular model in Reformed churches.  However, we also critique other counseling models as well.  We hope you benefit from this discussion.

We start our new series: Meredith Kline Applied.  Part 1 of this new series is our discussion of the Minority Report of the Committee on Foreign Missions of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, authored by Meredith Kline and Paul Wooley.  We discuss whether it is fair to frame the question around whether the Christian ought to care for both body and soul.  Next, we discuss the significance of Jesus’ miraculous healings.  Then we talk about whether the gifting of individual Christians matter for deciding whether to have medical missions.  Finally, we discuss Sola Scriptura and who has authority over medical missionaries.   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) Minority Report: Committee on Foreign Missions by Paul Wooley and Meredith Kline Acts 6 Hebrews 2 The Coming of the Kingdom by Herman Ridderbos Acts 3 James 5   Connect with us on: Facebook Twitter YouTube Spotify iHeartRadio Feedburner  Stitcher Libsyn iTunes Gab Minds Steemit
