Greg Koukl: Tactics

Published

Greg Koukl: TacticsStand to Reason is a Christian ministry that has, for over 16 years, focussed on training Christians to be “ambassadors” for Christ in light of 2 Corinthians 5:20, by helping them to develop the qualities of Knowledge, Wisdom, and Character.

Stand to Reason's Greg Koukl joins me this month to discuss his new book Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions, which focuses on the second quality: Wisdom. We discuss how to converse with non-Christians in a way that gets them thinking about Christianity without being argumentative, confrontational, or offensive. The majority of our conversation is about what Greg calls “The Columbo tactic.”

Tactics is widely available (I've seen it at Barnes & Noble), so you should be able to get it just about anywhere, but if you like you can get it at Amazon (aff. link).

Other resources Greg mentioned at the end of the interview include: his other book, Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air; his DVD course with Scott Klusendorf called Making Abortion Unthinkable; and Common Ground. You can also find out how to listen to his radio show, or get the podcast.

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.
