The Kingdom Come

The Reformation is known for its transformative theology, wherefrom society, government, & not the least the Church was brought in line with the principles of the Bible.  But the Reformers also greatly impacted the arts.  Join us as we discuss music from the Reformation & Renaissance era with Jeremy Fowler-Lindemulder aka "Fugli".  Fugli is a musician that specializes in music of the Renaissance period, often playing on instruments from the time.  He is perhaps best known to readers of this website as the man who recorded the song, "Reformation Polka", lyrics originally written by Robert Gebel.

This 30 minute discussion is very informative both in enlightening the listener to how the Reformation & Renaissance affected music & how Christians to the present day commemorate Reformation Sunday.  Stay tuned after the discussion for two songs by Fugli:

• Bethlehem Tonight
  
• One Sheep

These are both funny & educational --

Does God just know things ahead of time?  Does He just allow things or does God actually delcare & plan ALL things that happen?  This is a foundational question for every Christian.  What you answer to these questions determines what you think about the character & nature of God Himself & in turn affects every other thing you believe about God's motive, including His love.

Many Christians will say God is "Sovereign" or completely in control yet when that belief is pushed into every facet of God's nature, they may recoil.  It repulses us to think that God is even in control over the most heinous activities that occur.  This do NOT mean God is responsible for the activities.
