Bob DeWaay: The Problem of Evil

Published

Returning for his third appearance on Echo Zoe Radio this month is Bob DeWaay, pastor of Twin City Fellowship church in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, and author of Critical Issues Commentary. The topic of our discussion is “The Problem of Evil”, and is a follow up to the first episode of Echo Zoe Radio, when Bob and I discussed Open Theism. Our discussion is based on his article for CIC entitled “The Hebrew Lament and the Problem of Evil” (pdf also available.) We address the age-old question: If God is all-powerful, and He has a perfect sense of justice, why does He allow evil in the world?

In the course of discussion, Bob mentioned his current series for CIC Radio on the Book of Hebrews. That is also available at the CIC website.

Dr. James White: Sola Gratia & Sovereign Grace

CD

In October 2010, Dr. James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries in Phoenix, Arizona was in town for the Signet Ring Ministries “Chosen” conference. The evening before the conference, I had the pleasure of sitting down with him to discuss Sola Gratia, as well as the topic of the conference: God’s Sovereign Grace.

During the course of conversation, Dr. White explains Sola Gratia as a doctrine of the Reformation which was brought about to counter the Roman Catholic doctrine of Prevenient Grace. He then went on to describe Sovereign Grace from a Reformed perspective and contrasted it with “Free Grace.” He gave his primary texts for support of the Sovereign Grace point of view: Titus 2, and 1 John. We discussed “moderate Calvinism”, how it’s a misnomer, as well as hyper-Calvinism. Dr. White then described some of the practical implications of coming to an understanding of Sovereign Grace. He also talked about works that he recommends on Election and Sovereign Grace. My favorite question was to ask how to explain these things to a three-year-old.
