Critical Issues Commentary Radio
Summary: 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, MN. Gospel of Grace Fellowship can be found on the web at http://www.gospelofgracefellowship.org/ where you can listen to sermons and other teachings.

Podcasts:
Jesus' Suffering and Solidarity With His Sons: Hebrews 2:10-13, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. The author of Hebrews tells us that it is fitting for God to perfect the Author of our salvation through suffering and thereby sanctify for Himself many sons. We explain various theological implications of this. (duration 00:28:39)
Jesus' Incarnation, Exaltation, and Final Triumph: Hebrews 2:5-9, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. The author of Hebrews uses Psalm 8's description of man analogically to show how in Jesus' solidarity with man He perfectly fulfills the role that man only partially fulfills. Furthermore, Jesus in His exaltation is "crowned with glory and honor"... (duration 00:30:17)
A Warning to Pay Attention to What God Said: Hebrews 2:1-4, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. This first warning passage in Hebrews is a call to listen to God that uses nautical terminology to not drift off course. The author of Hebrews uses a lesser to greater argument to prove that if those under the Old Covenant were punished... (duration 00:31:27)
The Exalted Son is Greater than the Angels: Hebrews 1:5-14, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. At His ascension, Jesus was enthroned and the angels were instructed to worship Him, showing His deity. Jesus is also shown to be ruling, pre-eminent, the uniquely anointed Messiah, eternal, and imperishable. (duration 00:28:32)
The Glorious Person and Work of Christ: Hebrews 1:2-4, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. We discuss the rich, meaningful, and beautiful terminology used by the author of Hebrews to describe the glories of Christ. Our listeners will gain a greater understanding of Christology, the study of the person and work of Christ. (duration 00:29:56)
God Has Spoken: Hebrews 1:1, 2, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. We begin a new series where we will teach verse by verse through the book of Hebrews. This show is about the fact that had God not spoken, we would all be pagan. (duration 00:30:56)
Bereans and Tradition, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. In Acts 17 there is a contrast between the Jews in Thessalonica and those in Berea. The former group strongly rejected Paul's gospel message while those in the latter group examined the scriptures to see if they did support the idea of Jesus as Messiah. (duration 00:25:24)
The Whole Counsel of God, Part 2, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. We begin this program by discussing how we experienced what happens when popular teachings arise, are promoted, and then fade away. Christians do not grow or become stable when the next great "move of God" flops and something new takes its place. (duration 00:25:35)
The Whole Counsel of God, Part 1, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. Does declaring the whole counsel of God as Paul affirmed in Acts 20:27 always meet the true needs of Christians? We show that it will. Some say that if people are not interested in Bible teaching and theology, we should provide something else... (duration 00:24:55)
Robert Schuler and the Seeker-Sensitive Church, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. This program addresses the roots of the movement that became known as the seeker sensitive church. The beginnings of the movement go back to Harry Emerson Fosdick and the modernist controversy of the early 20th century... (duration 00:25:12)
The Blood Atonement, Part 2, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. Here we address more important issues that have to do with God's plan of salvation through the blood of Jesus. Here we deal with justification of believers through the imputation of Christ's righteousness that produces right standing before God. (duration 00:27:20)
The Blood Atonement, Part 1, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. In this program, we address the fact that the blood atonement is God's provision for the salvation of sinners. It is crucial that the substitutionary atonement that God provides be preached in churches. (duration 00:24:18)
Inner Healing, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. We discuss what God has promised in the Bible through Christ about healing the inner person and contrast that with false inner healing theories. Rather than believe biblical, Messianic promises, many have imported pagan and secular psychological ideas... (duration 00:25:41)
Self-Esteem the New Christian "Virtue", Part 2, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. We begin by discussing the Laodicean church in Revelation. They were over-confident in their own spiritual condition with no idea of their wretchedness. Robert Schuller and James Dobson introduced self-esteem psychology to evangelicalism... (duration 00:24:58)
Self-Esteem the New Christian "Virtue", Part 1, presented by Bob DeWaay and Dick Kuffel. Despite the calls to integrate psychological theory and Christian teaching, we see that psychological theory usually contradicts the scriptures. This is the case with the idea of a need for self-esteem. Those who humble themselves are commended... (duration 00:24:09)
