    Can you have Jesus as Savior, but not as Lord?

    In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O’Kelley looks into another popular model of sanctification known as “higher life theology,” which came from Bible conferences held in Keswick, England. In this view, some Christians may have Jesus as Savior only, but not as Lord. Is that a legitimate understanding of the biblical teaching on sanctification?

    How Does Justification by Faith Alone Affect Our Lives?

    In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O’Kelley explores the practical implications for the doctrine of justification by faith alone. How does this teaching affect our relationship with God, our grasp of his love for us, and our sense of security in him? How does it affect the way we relate to others, especially considering that they, like us, are sinners?

    Is Justification by Faith Alone?

    In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O’Kelley explores the historic Protestant teaching of justification by faith alone (sola fide). In contrast to any view of justification that makes our own works a contributing factor to our standing with God, sola fide affirms that Christ alone is our hope. But is “faith alone” a biblical teaching, and is it compatible with James’s notion of justification by works (James 2:24)?

    What is Justification?

    In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O’Kelley explores the meaning of the biblical doctrine of justification. Catholics understand this term to mean one thing, and Protestants another. The differences between them get to the very heart of the gospel and the basis on which our standing with God depends.
