Has the Fourth Commandment Been Abolished? — A Reasonable Response

<p data-start="284" data-end="488">In this episode of&nbsp;A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley examines the claim that the fourth commandment no longer applies to Christians and argues that this conclusion cannot be sustained from Scripture.</p> <p data-start="490" data-end="866">Bosley contends that the Ten Commandments form a unified expression of God's moral law, including the enduring principle of one day in seven set apart for worship and rest. Rather than a burdensome legal requirement, the Christian Sabbath is presented as a gracious gift from God&mdash;a day to delight in worship, rest from ordinary labor, and perform works of mercy and necessity.</p> <p data-start="868" data-end="989">This episode calls believers to embrace the Lord's Day not as legalism, but as joyful obedience to God's enduring design.</p>

Did John Piper Get Justification Wrong? — A Reasonable Response

<p data-start="309" data-end="637">In this episode of&nbsp;A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley examines the recent controversy surrounding John Piper's comments on faith, works, and justification. While Piper's language sparked debate across Reformed circles, Bosley argues that his teaching is thoroughly consistent with Scripture and historic Protestant theology.</p> <p data-start="639" data-end="885">Looking to James 2 and the broader witness of the New Testament, Bosley explains that genuine saving faith is never alone&mdash;it inevitably bears the fruit of good works. Faith alone justifies, but the faith that justifies is never without obedience.</p> <p data-start="887" data-end="1102">This episode calls listeners to distinguish between the root of salvation and its fruit, demonstrating that Piper's remarks stand firmly within the teaching of the Reformers, the Puritans, and, above all, Scripture.</p>

Women Pastors by Another Name? — A Reasonable Response to Sam Storms

<p data-start="275" data-end="547">In this episode of A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley responds to Sam Storms' article,&nbsp;"A Complementarian Case for Women as Pastors,"&nbsp;and argues that the proposal ultimately blurs biblical categories rather than clarifying them.&nbsp;</p> <p data-start="549" data-end="1020">Bosley contends that Scripture consistently links the work and title of pastor to the office of elder and that attempts to apply the title&nbsp;pastor&nbsp;to women&mdash;even while affirming male eldership&mdash;create unnecessary confusion. Examining key passages such as Acts 20, 1 Peter 5, Ephesians 4, and Titus 2, he argues that the New Testament provides no warrant for expanding the pastoral office beyond the qualifications God has established.&nbsp;</p> <p data-start="1022" data-end="1396">While affirming the vital teaching ministry of women in the church, Bosley maintains that faithfulness requires preserving the biblical distinctions God has given rather than redefining them to accommodate modern cultural expectations. This episode challenges listeners to let Scripture set the terms for church leadership and ministry.&nbsp;</p>
