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, ...

A Critique of the Seven Mountain Mandate, Part 4, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. Bill Johnson uses the parable of the leaven to support his dominion theology.

Do you remember your first conscious “favorite song” as a child? Maybe it was a single, or an album, or a specific artist. I remember hearing a particular song on the radio as a four or five-year-old and saying out loud to my parents, “That’s my favorite song.” Now, I realize I’m one of the older people in room. So, I’ll ask, but I don’t expect man…

A Critique of the Seven Mountain Mandate, Part 3, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. Bill Johnson claims that we must invade the "seven realms of society" to bring about the Kingdom. Bob and Eric show that it is Jesus who invades when He returns for His Church, pours out His wrath upon the world, and establishes His Kingdom. (duration 00:32:22…

Let’s start this morning with three questions, and I want to tell you this right away — I’m not over-speaking here and I’m not kidding — these are the most important questions you could ever ask yourself. What is your heaven? Who is your savior? Where are you now? Over the next 35 minutes I’m asking that each of you think about these questions as w…

A Critique of the Seven Mountain Mandate, Part 2, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. Bob and Eric reject the postmillennial claim that we must establish dominion before Christ returns. They show that the kingdom comes through conversion alone. They cite Scripture to prove that our dominion happens after Christ returns. (duration 00:36:45) Clic…

The Lord is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Whatever the origins of our English word Easter — and they are apparently too ancient and complicated to trace with certainty, even for Encyclopedia Brittanica — Easter has come to function for us today as a two-syllable designation for “Resurrection Sunday.” That’s six syllables down to two. Easter is t…

A Critique of the Seven Mountain Mandate, Part 1, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. Bob and Eric discuss the book Invading Babylon by Lance Wallnau and Bill Johnson. They reject the claim that we must Christianize the culture as we establish the kingdom of God on the earth and show that we enter the kingdom of God through faith alone. (durati…

Something we need to keep in mind as we’re working through the Book of Philippians is that this is a very personal letter. It’s personal in that the apostle Paul tells us a lot about himself over these four chapters — he tells us how he’s doing in his current situation; he tells about how he relates to others and others to him, (good and bad); he t…

Church Ministries Equip the Saints, Part 3 - Ephesians 4:13b, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. We continue the discussion of the nature and purpose of church ministries. We start in the middle of verse 13 examining the idea of coming to the full knowledge of the Son of God. The knowledge of Christ in this context is both cognitive and relati…

Paul uses the term "until" in regard to us all attaining to the unity of the faith. There is a process involved in coming to this unity but it's incomplete until Christ's r…

In the winter of 2001, I was a sophomore at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. As a freshman I had become part of a ministry called Campus Outreach. Its theology was called “Reformed,” which I did not grow up with. In my teens, I heard talk about God being “sovereign,” but I had never wrestled with the extent of his sovereignty — that…

Church Ministries Equip the Saints, Part 1 - Ephesians 4:12-13, presented by Bob DeWaay and Eric Douma. We address what scripture reveals about all Christians being equipped by God to serve Christ.

What did Jesus do when he died on the cross? The answer to that question is the heart of the gospel. It’s the most important thing that we could know about God — and the good news about the heart of the good news is that God has made it clear to us in the Scriptures. At the cross, we know that … “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by beco…

John the Baptist and Prophets to Nations, Part 9, presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz. In this episode we discuss the prophetic calling of every believer and show how false prophets misuse and abuse 1Corinthians 14 to support their claims.

Well, the war was finally over. At least that’s how it appeared. Following ten long years of battle, the Greeks had finally given up hope of taking the city, they’d gotten back on their ships, and set sail for home. The Trojans were overjoyed. Their opposition was gone. That night, they slept well. Really well. Surprisingly well, in fact, for a peo…
