Summary

This week's Desperate Theology is a bit of a looney tune. You'll have to grin and bear it to hear Carl, Aimee, and Todd answer a listeners' question: "Should a Paedobaptist marry a … (reformed) Baptist?" It's a legitimate question with legitimate concerns. What of a wife's call to submit ... even if she's opposed to her husband's theological stance on baptism? What about the covenant theology in paedobaptism - do you treasure or toss it to appease your fiance or spouse? And is it wise to overlook your differences until children are part of the equation?We would like to offer you a free MP3 download entitled "Marriage and Its Many Problems", by James Boice. Discount is applied at checkout.

0:25.9	Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
0:31.5	This week, the crew uses the bully pulpit to answer the questions,
0:35.8	should a Presbyterian marry a Baptist? And if so,
0:39.2	how do they reconcile their differing views, especially when they start raising children?
0:44.5	Let's join in to hear Todd, Carl, and Amy tackle some of the many issues surrounding this topic.
1:16.1	Okay, so today we are going to kick off with another desperate theologizing, and this is where we have either blog posts or events that just seem a little bit desperate and grasping to try to make this topic about God.
1:23.1	And today we have a special one. This was a song written by and performed by the largest church in Bakersfield. And they performed it on Easter Sunday of all days, and we just want to
1:29.2	read the lyrics for our listeners. So I will start off with the first stanza.
1:35.5	I've cussed on a Sunday, I've cheated, and I've lied. I've fallen down from grace a few
1:41.4	too many times, but I find Holy Redemption when I put this car in drive,
1:46.9	roll the windows down and turn up the dial.
1:51.4	Can I get a hallelujah? Can I get an amen?
1:55.0	Feels like the Holy Ghost running through ya.
1:57.5	When I play the Highway FM, I find my soul revival singing every single verse yeah i guess that's my church
2:06.0	when hank brings the sermon and cash leads the choir it gets my cold cold heart burning hotter than a ring of fire
2:14.4	when this wonderful world gets heavy and I need to find my escape,
2:19.9	I just keep the wheels rolling, radio scrolling, till my sins wash away.
2:26.2	Wow. I got the best line there. Man, that's great. That's truly awesome. You know,
2:30.6	it almost makes me think country might be a redeemable form of music, actually.
2:35.5	Absolutely. Well, I think, I mean, I think that song has a future at Cornerstone Presbyterian Church in Ambler, Pennsylvania.
