Podcast – Interview 52: 2024 Position Statements and “Why Was God Angry at Balaam?” (Dave Shumate)
I’m talking to some of our men who wrote articles for the September/October 2024 FrontLine magazine. The subject of the magazine was, “The Rapture.”
Some of our interviews are with authors dealing directly with the theme of the magazine, but for this interview, I want to do something a little different.
In each issue of FrontLine we have a section called “the Pastor’s Insert.” It includes articles especially designed to be a help to pastors and Bible teachers. I thought I’d highlight that section by a chat with David Shumate, one of our leaders in the FBFI, who gave us some helpful comments on Balaam the pagan prophet who shows up in the book of Numbers.
In addition to this brief article, Dave, as the chairman of our positions committee, is responsible for developing and publishing the Position Statements of the FBFI from time to time. In this issue of FrontLine we published our 2024 Position statements on two issues:
- Christianity, Socialism, and Capitalism
- Gambling
Dave talks about what we are trying to do with position statements and then discusses the rationale behind these two. I think you will find this discussion interesting.
Before I bring Dave in, let me remind you that paying subscribers to our substack will be able to read the Position Statements and the brief article on Balaam right away. With a paid subscription to our substack, you will automatically get a subscription to the magazine. You can also subscribe just to the magazine… either way, we just want to build up our subscription base.
