Vos Group #1 – Introduction

Pastor Hartley — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 22:14:15 +0000

We begin our reading through the book with an introductory discussion between Camden Bucey, host of Christ the Center, and Lane Tipton, who at the time of this recording was a professor of systematic theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.

There is no reading for this episode. In light of that, I will post the second installment today as well and encourage you to listen to both of them and comment on each separately. Again, both of these will remain open to comments for the next three weeks.

Here is the link to the first episode of the Vos Group from Reformed Forum.

Forsaking Cowardice for Christ

We live in a soft age. Our idols are soft and so too our fears.

In the old days, our idols were hard. Quite literally. Stone. Wood. Sculpted and carved. Today our idols are supple, passed through the air, light as speech, mutating three and four times a year, made and remade as new virtues and progressive posthuman ideologies, demanding genuflection and honor.

The shift from hard to soft idols says nothing new of course about idolatry’s source. It is still the sinful human heart. This means the primitive embrace between idolatry and earth’s oldest fear remains. It is still the fear of man.
