Salvation and Stuff Micah Coate

This is the story of a man’s life given to change a worldwide and institutional practice, so openly accepted and ingrained in cultures times-past, that to identify it and capture it, would be like trying to separate the air surrounding you from the air inside your lungs. Slavery was normal. It was in the air that all people breathed. Although practiced by all people in all history, the very small framed William Wilburforce determined to change that. By the grace of God, with a firm belief in "Imago Dei" - that all people are created in the image of God, William would spearhead the movement to not only end the slave trade, but slavery all together. It would change the world forever.

Hello and Merry Christmas!
As we’ve been drawing nearer to December 25th, it’s nearly impossible to ignore the many things that evoke Christmas day and in general, the Christmas spirit. It’s the atmosphere that we can feel with all our senses. There’s the weather, the decorations, the family and friends in town, the time off work, the baking of cookies, the music, and maybe even hearing church bells. All of these and many more, when they are experienced and felt, they positively effect our hearts and our spirits - it leads us to peace and good will. Ultimately, it draws us closer to Jesus, as He is the Christ in Christmas.
But what happens when all those not so “little” things are taken away or forced to be done in private? For the people of Romania in 1989, they had. What happened to peace and goodwill and how was Christmas restored? Episode 25, The Return of the Christmas Bells, starts now.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that nearly everyone knows who Billy Graham is - his ministry of preaching, and his life of faithful service from advising kings and presidents, to throngs of everyday people across numerous nations. Even skeptics cannot deny that Billy Graham had an eternally positive impact upon the world in his ninety-nine years of life. But most people have no idea who his friend and preaching partner was in the early years of the ministry. A Canadian, named Charles Templeton - an evangelist who by many accounts was a more articulate speaker and polished orator than Billy.
So alike were the two evangelists that they were referred to as the “Gold Dust Twins”. They were both influential in co-founding Torrey Johnson’s “Youth For Christ” in 1944 and spoke together often throughout the United states and Europe for the sole purpose of drawing people to faith in Jesus.
Two young men, similar in age, calling, talents, and results.
But something happened to them individually in the height of their careers, that sent the two friends and co-ministers into opposite trajectories, ending with two radically different conclusions. This is a story of two men with two fates who made two decisions about one book.

He had dedicated his life to the Lord, serving as a New Testament Scholar at Princeton Seminary. But he never would have thought that standing upon the revealed scriptures of God and contending for the faith would have led to his dismissal from the revered school of higher learning and the stripping of his credentials of ordination. Nor could he know that his convictions and actions would irreconcilably split the Presbyterian Church, and that many other denominations would follow suit. In an exciting time in America when nearly everything was progressing in art, culture, science, and medicine, John Gresham Machen would lead the conservative resistance against the onslaught of Progressive and Liberal ideology into the historic Christian faith. Although his short but powerful book, Christianity and Liberalism was published in 1923, it remains freshly relevant today as does his example to us in defending the faith.
