The Reformed RantPolitics & Parents: Responding to Josh Wester's ERLC PropagandaIn this episode, I rant about the sleight of hand employed by Josh Wester over at the ERLC and his attempt to continue to convince evangelicals that you can support the philosophy, values, and ethics of the democratic party. He uses the ruse of parent-child relationships. It wouldn't be a good ruse if he were just plain honest. 2021-02-1142 minThe Reformed RantPostmillennialism: The Good, The Bad, & The UglyIn this episode, I rant about my observations on the history and beliefs of Postmillennial Eschatology. While I reject the notion that we should divide over eschatological schemes, I also acknowledge that some systems open the door to issues that can, do, and should create division. These other views would include issues like theonomy, reconstructionism, and dominionism. I would ask that you listen to what I am saying, and not what I am NOT saying. 2021-02-0951 minThe Reformed RantGary DeMar Defends James White: Reconstructionists, Theonomists & Dominionists, Oh My!In this episode, I rant about Gary DeMar's criticism of my criticism of James White's criticism of John MarAcrthur's criticism of Postmillennialism. My biggest concern with the Postmil eschatological scheme is the little branches that seem to consistently spring up within it. Those branches are reconstructionism/theonomy and dominion theology. These are very dangerous branches that must be avoided at all costs. I do NOT claim that they are the necessary conclusion of PM theology. It is interesting that White spoke positively about Rushdoony in his episode and Rushdoony is the founder of Christian reconstructionism. I hate to say...2021-02-0241 minThe Reformed RantTGC's Gospel of ManipulationIn this episode, I rant about the tactics of manipulation being employed by those who would want to shut down dissent. If these tactics do not work, I predict they will, like the Jesuit Catholics in the Ottoman empire, use the pagans to shut it down. Taking someone's claim to its logical conclusion and evaluating that conclusion based on the teachings of Scripture is not a false gospel, it is not violating divine command, it is not unloving, and it is not being divisive. 2021-01-3141 minThe Reformed RantJames White's New Dance with PostmillennialismIn this episode, I rant about James White's criticisms of John MacArthurs premillennial views on how the end-times will proceed from bad to worse. The postmil guys all ignore Jesus' comparison of the days of Noah with his return. That said, I do not offer a critique of postmillennialism, a view that I consider the weakest of the eschatological schemes. 2021-01-2945 minThe Reformed RantSocial Status & Class in Greco-Roman Times: Did The Apostles Love Their Neighbor?I this episode, I provide a very high-level overview of the social structures in Greco-Roman times, specifically, class and status. Then I ask the question: did Jesus or the Apostles work to change things in that structure? What are the implications of the answer to this question?2021-01-101h 07The Reformed RantCritical Response to Al Mohler's Structural Sin & Systemic Racism: What does the Bible Teach about Structural Sin?In this episode, I rant about Mohler's article on the subject of structure sin and systemic racism. Christians need to think more critically about what our leaders are saying about these incredibly important issues.2021-01-021h 02The Reformed RantFrank Turek: The Greatest Argument for The Existence of GodIn this episode, I rant about an interview that took place over the summer between Frank Turek and Tricia Scribner regarding a book that Scribner helped edit: Answering the Music Man. The Music Man is a response to many of the arguments that Dan Barker has made against Christianity. I offer up criticism of the method employed by Turek and Scribner to answer the music man.2020-12-2152 minThe Reformed RantTeam JD Greear Obliterates The Jerusalem Conference in The Name of WokenessIn this episode, I rant about Team JD Greear's complete obliteration of The Jerusalem Conference all for the sake of defending the new Woke Cult that most of the SBC has become. Did you know that the apostles were actually trying to figure out how to remove obstacles to the gospel? This is how Greear frames the theme of the first conference in the history of Christianity. The insanity of these men knows no bounds.2020-12-0348 minThe Reformed RantPurging The Church of Woke Theology: The Way ForwardIn this episode I rant about the way forward for the churches in light of the recent infiltration of Woke-Liberation Theology. It is an infectious disease that is deadly if not rooted out. I talk about the deconstruction of Christianity, of the American idea, and a return to a focus on Sola Scripture, the Gospel, and the Mission of the church.2020-11-1152 minThe Reformed RantThe Woke CultIn this episode I rant about the cult of wokeness that has invaded our churches through a complete disregard for the duty of training and equipping the believer. I talk about the Woke gospel, the kingdom of Wokeness, and I get into some of the deadly sins of Woke beliefs and practices.2020-11-0358 minThe Reformed RantVoting and The Christian EthicIn this extended episode, I rant about what your voting behavior reveals about your beliefs and what your beliefs tell us about your Christianity. Do you embrace the version of Christianity that is supernaturally revealed in Scripture or have you unwittingly embraced a contemporary version designed to appease and satisfy your own conscience? 2020-10-281h 09The Reformed RantJohn Piper RiposteIn this episode, I do a follow up on Piper's voting article in light of his statement that he will not vote for Trump or Biden which is effectively a waste of time. Why vote at all? The point of the riposte is to counter the claim that Piper was not targeting Trump. I believe the evidence strongly contradicts that claim. 2020-10-2438 minThe Reformed RantThe Prophets of Baal: TGC's Q-Anon & Platt and Piper's Bizarre Voting PhilosophiesIn this episode, I RANT about TGC's manipulative use of Q-Anon, David Platt's "Before You Vote" and John Piper's article, "Policies, Persons, and Paths to Ruin." While each of these is tackling different subjects, they are all working hard for the same end: they want to turn you into democrats or, at a minimum, get out of the way of the democratic machine.2020-10-2356 minThe Reformed RantThe Great Deconstruction of Christianity and America & Christianity's Sad ComplicityIn this episode, I rant about the great deconstruction of Biblical Christianity and American, why they go hand in hand, and sadly, the church's complicity in the project. 2020-09-2257 minThe Reformed RantTim Keller's White Slander Contains Neither Justice nor GospelIn this episode, I rant about the recent slander of all white people by Tim Keller. I point out that the principle Keller employs to indict white humans everywhere is not based on Christian doctrine and that his idea of privilege vs no privilege is a false dilemma. The fact is that privilege is not a have or have not sort of thing. Privilege comes in degrees. Enjoy the Rant.2020-09-211h 07The Reformed RantAmerican Christianity in Disarray - My People Perish for Lack of LeadershipIn this episode, I rant about the ecumenism of Tim Keller, the judgementalism of J.D. Greear, the tyranny of the Gospel Coalition, and the new Generation Z Bible translation that amounts to blasphemy. And oh, I return to my view on COVID and in-person vs digital worship.2020-08-2759 minThe Reformed RantWhen Love You Neighbor Becomes TyrannyIn this episode, I rant about the way pagan culture, liberal Christians, and even evangelical Christians and leaders are arrogantly employing the second greatest commandment to bully and intimidate Christians so that they behave and think according to their own personal standards.2020-08-2147 minThe Reformed RantJarvis Williams: Not Saying Black Lives Matter Could Mean You're Not SavedIn this episode, I rant about an article by Jarvis Williams who implies that Christians who have a problem with saying black lives matter could mean they are not saved. 2020-07-3049 minThe Reformed RantReviewing the Chosen: An American Jesus and His American DisciplesIn this episode, I rant about my concerns regarding the very popular series, "The Chosen." Another American fiction tale about Christ that only serves to misinform, confuse people but it is entertaining or so they say.2020-07-2549 minThe Reformed RantSEBTS and African HermeneuticsIn this episode, I rant about the recent SEBTS and its symposium which included a lecture from Elisabeth Mburu on the topic of African Hermeneutics..2020-07-171h 00The Reformed RantChristian Franchise or Christian Church: What Are You?In this episode, I rant about the complete vacation of duty that most modern American pastors have been on for decades now and its impact on the Christian message in American and Western society.2020-07-0347 minThe Reformed RantBlack Lives Matter: Godly Movement or Demonic OrganizationIn this episode, I rant about the mission and beliefs of the organization Black Lives Matter and ask the question, what kind of relationship can the Church have with such an organization.2020-06-2239 minThe Reformed RantEvangelicals Embolden New Breed of Domestic TerrorismIn this episode, I rant about the overlooked fact that what we see happening in American society right now is a new form of domestic terrorism that is every bit as dangerous as any terrorism imported from the outside and the fact that leaders and pastors, as well as the civil authorities, seem paralyzed to anything about it.2020-06-1546 minThe Reformed RantThe George Floyd Incident and Inept Evangelical Leaders like JD GreearIn this episode, I rant about the inept state of evangelical leaders. Pastors who refuse to speak up about this issue, bring Scripture to bear on the current milieu reveal more about their true character than they realize. You should listen to what is being said but more importantly, listen to what is NOT being said. 2020-06-1050 minThe Reformed RantPrevenient Grace: Rescuing Device for Libertarian Freedom #74In the episode, I rant about Evan Minton's response to my critique of his article on the evidence from Scripture for prevenient grace. Minton fails to understand that irresistible grace is not the same as resisting the divine commands. And because of that, we end up with another terribly confused Arminian/Pelagian who simply does not understand Calvinism, or Reformed Theology and in this case, Biblical Christianity.2020-05-2559 minThe Reformed RantDavid Platt's Fight Against Racial Injustice Turns Out To Be Racist and UnjustIn this episode, I rant about another attempt from David Platt to supposedly take up the cause of racial injustice in light of the Ahmaud Arbery situation. In this episode Platt mangles Ps. 133 while unwittingly putting forth a number of ideas that are racist and unjust. One of the pastor's advocates for judging the McMichaels based on the color of their skin without realizing that is what he is doing. That pastor's wife admits to having a greater connection with people based on melanin rather than Christian convictions, theology, ethics, and values. Something is very wrong at McLean Bible...2020-05-2149 minThe Reformed RantAl Mohler RepentsIn this episode, I rant about Al Mohler's repentance from what was clearly the biblical position on the morality of slavery to one that is approved by pagan culture. Now that the pagans know that Mohler values their opinions of him, my guess is this only the beginning. At least Jonathan Merritt has hinted that he is coming after Mohler on other issues.2020-05-1654 minThe Reformed RantSBC Leaders: Seekers of Justice or Just Opportunists?In this episode, I rant about how leaders in the SBC and pastors all across the SBC and other evangelical churches are just not being honest about their real objectives concerning the Arbery incident. You cannot be interested in justice and indifferent to truth. Either you are incompetent or immoral. In the spirit of Christian charity, I will allow them to choose which one best describes them. 2020-05-1550 minThe Reformed RantAhmaud Arbery: A Christian RespondsIn this episode, I rant about the "Christian" response to the Arbery shooting that took place in February in Georgia. Is it Christlike to rush to judgment? Is it Christlike to call these men white supremacists without a shred of proof? Should a pastor actively endorse, promote, and forward a petition that engages in malicious gossip and slander and ultimately promotes division and disharmony? Let's talk about it. 2020-05-0954 minThe Reformed RantEric Kemp's Sanctimonious Search for a Hyper-CalvinismIn this episode, I rant about Eric Kemp's supposed search for a Hyper-Calvinist. His point will be, in the end, to claim that all Calvinists are Hyper-Calvinists and all Calvinism is Hyper-Calvinism. While Eric seems to be an intelligent man, educated, articulate, bright, his argument isn't intelligent, it is cogent, it isn't educated, it isn't informed, and worse of all, it isn't sincere. 2020-05-011h 10The Reformed RantThe Scandal of Immature Faith in DiscernmentIn this episode, I rant about how discernment ministries very often conflate arguing for the truth with speaking the truth IN LOVE and why it is that many in this field actually engage in the very thing they claim to be working against: ignoring the truth of God revealed in Scripture. 2020-04-1852 minThe Reformed RantAndy Stanley: The Modern-Day MarcionIn this episode, I interact with a short except of Andy Stanley's Easter Sunday sermon in which he does everything he can to unhitch the resurrection from the Bible and Christianity from the teachings of Jesus. The argument is logically untenable, philosophically implausible, and exegetically groundless.2020-04-1637 minThe Reformed RantA Friendly Rebuttal of JD Hall's Romans 13 RageIn this episode, I take a look at three of the main points of JD Hall's argument and provide an alternative that I believe comports with Scripture and the Reformers far more than his. Enjoy!2020-04-1450 minThe Reformed RantResponding to the JD Hall COVID19 Rage - #66In this episode, I rant about JD Hall's article over at P&P where he classifies Christians who do not believe it's necessary to have communion every week with pseudo-Christians and Christians who don't even believe in a Lord's Day.2020-04-101h 12The Reformed RantCOVID-19: A Balanced Christian Perspective #64In this episode, I rant about the good, the bad, and the ugly I see taking place within the Christian community in our various responses to this virus and how the authorities are managing it.2020-04-0351 minThe Reformed RantEvangelicalism: Image is Everything #63In this episode, I rant about the idolatrous obsession with image in both Western society and Evangelicalism. 2020-03-3040 minThe Reformed RantEvangelical Christianity in Chaos -#62In this episode, I rant about the utter chaos that exists in the church, isolating just three areas where ignorance reigns supreme: The Doctrine of Scripture, God, and the Church. The level of incompetence among even the most tenured Christians is scandalous. 2020-03-2333 minThe Reformed RantRobert Gagnon's Continuationist Gaps #61In this episode, I rant about some of Dr. Robert Gagnon's glaring inconsistencies in his rebuttal to Tom Schreiner on the issue of the NT sign gifts.2020-03-1945 minThe Reformed RantResponding to Robert Gagnon's Continuationism & Defense of Michael Brown - #60In this episode, I rant about the deficient logic and conjectural exegesis displayed by the highly respected Robert Gagnon regarding the gifts of the Spirit and whether or not those gifts are active in the churches today. Dr. Gagnon's work in the areas of political behavior and homosexuality are unsurpassed in quality. Unfortunately, his work on the question of gifts as a continuationist is on the same level as most continuationists: incredibly poor, logically flawed, and exegetically groundless. 2020-02-2548 minThe Reformed RantThe Gospel Coalition Wants You To Stop Being Political - #59In this episode, I rant about Joe Carter's article at the (anti) Gospel Coalition and entertain the question, does Joe Carter really care about your sanctification where politics is concerned or does he care about something else far more troubling?2020-02-1844 minThe Reformed RantCritical Appraisal of Brad Mason & Standpoint TheoryIn this episode, I rant about an article that Brad Mason wrote claiming that Standpoint Theory is NOT antithetical to Christianity. Maybe it isn't contrary to Brad Mason's version of Christianity, but it is clearly contrary to Biblical Christianity and I demonstrate why that is the case. 2020-02-1458 minThe Reformed RantHow Social Justice Inevitably Surrenders Inerrancy - #57In this episode, I rant about a number of issues and nearly every one of them demonstrates how the chaos that is evangelicalism is threatening the very fiber of Christianity by threatening the Sacred Text upon which it rests.2020-01-1450 minThe Reformed RantChristianity & Slavery: Danny Akin's Retweet (Retreat) - #56In this episode, I rant about how the issue of slavery is being used to deconstruct Christianity and redefine it in terms of black liberation theology and cultural marxism. In the process I talk about the recent tweet from Danny Akin and then his immediate retweet as Elmer Fudd would say, retreat as the rest of us would understand it. Enjoy!2020-01-011h 09The Reformed RantDemocratic Liberalism: A Promise That Isn't Very PromisingIn this episode, I rant about the continued push by the ERLC and evangelical elites to move the average church-going evangelical to the political left all in an attempt to hang onto their personal power. The tactics are anything but keeping with Christian ethics and doctrine. 2019-12-291h 06The Reformed RantCody Libolt vs Seth Bloomsberg on Apologetic Method: A ReviewIn this episode, I rant about Coby Libolt's atrocious apologetic method, not to mention is understanding of Presuppositional Apologetics and nearly slanderous remarks about Cornelius Van Til.2019-12-151h 00The Reformed RantFollow-up Response to Wayne Grudem on DivorceIn this episode, I follow up on my article responding to Wayne Grudem's shifting position on divorce with a few more points and talk about how Christian women should think about and handle physical and other kinds of abuse.2019-12-1159 minThe Reformed RantContemporary Critical Theory: A Self-Defeating Theory with Tower of Babel Roots #52In this episode, I rant about Contemporary Critical Theory and it's Ancient Near-East roots and association with the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11.2019-11-3057 minThe Reformed RantThe Cross of Christ: How to Remove the Scandal #51In this episode, I rant about a series of do's and don'ts for removing the scandal from the cross and the stigma from Christianity. Enjoy!2019-11-2631 minThe Reformed RantThe Evangelical Girls Club (#50)In this episode, I rant about the negative influence of American feminism on American society as well as it's inroads into the churches by way of women who are heavily influenced by and borrowing from pagan feminist ideologies.2019-11-231h 08The Reformed RantThe SBC And The Idolatry of Feminism #49In this episode, I rant about the general nature of women's ministries and the encroachment of feminism in the churches.2019-11-091h 03The Reformed RantSBC Leaders Guilty of Racism & Public Slander #48In this episode, I rant about the obvious and open racist slander directed by SBC leaders toward certain members of First Baptist Church, Naples. It is discouraging to see men who ought to know better conduct themselves in this manner. What is even more outrageous is that these men will preach about the love of Christ while engaging in outright hatred toward fellow Christians they do not know and have never met. 2019-11-071h 08The Reformed RantBradly Mason's Hypocritical Judgment of SBC NaplesIn this episode, I rant about Bradly Mason's and other SBC leaders criticism of FBC Naples decision not to call Marcus Hayes to serve as Senior Pastor. Rev. Hayes happens to be black and now, even in the churches, melanin seems to serve as the criterion that gets you the job NO MATTER WHAT. FBC Naples Florida is an autonomous church baptist church that has a constitution that it followed in making this decision. It is no one else's business who that church calls to serve as its pastor. But hasn't stopped the WOKE hypocrites like Bradly Mason and...2019-11-031h 01The Reformed RantDid Jared Wilson Slander America's Greatest Preacher? (#46)In this episode I rant about Jared Wilon's article that questions George Whitefield's Christianity. 2019-10-261h 00The Reformed RantJohn MacArthur's Truth Matters Conference: SBC Meltdown - #45John MacArthur's Truth Conference did what no self-respecting political-pandering celebrity pastor or celebrity pastor wannabe in the SBC would ever do. It touched the SBC's anointed prophetess, Beth Moore. And as a result, snowflakes are melting faster than Frosty the Snowman can say Happy Birthday!2019-10-2051 minThe Reformed RantProminent Social Justice Warrior Dies: Prophet of God or Pernicious Wolf? (#44)In this episode, I rant about the life of Elijah Cummings and how it was an expression of rebellion and wickedness. This is most clearly seen in his work in the areas of abortion and homosexual projects. I also talk about black and white leaders who profess Christ and who continue to give men like this a pass on their wicked lifestyle simply because of their social causes. It is as if these men are God and God is not. 2019-10-1856 minThe Reformed RantJ.D. Greear's New Inclusive Gospel; Ayn Rand's Objectionable Objectivism; Al Mohler's Empty Words (#43)In this episode, I rant about J.D. Greear's silly point about the scandal of gospel inclusivity, Ayn Rand's Objectable Objectivism, and Al Mohler's criticism of the political party that many under his employment actually support.2019-10-151h 13The Reformed RantArminianism - Articles 2-5 (#42)In this episode, I talk about articles two through five of the Remonstrants: Universal Atonement, Total Depravity, Resistible Grace, and the Perseverance of the Saints. The goal is to allow ancient Arminianism, original Arminianism to stand on its own two feet. This way, when I come back to critique the system, I can do so fairly. Additionally, I will be in a better position to show how modern Arminianism in many of its differently flavors has departed from the original system.2019-10-1434 minThe Reformed RantApostasy Is At the Door (Tisby, Howard, Beth Moore, Jen Wilken) and Arminianism's Conditional Election #42In this episode, I cover the latest news on Jamar Tisby's view of forgiveness which is out of step with Christian forgiveness, Kyle J. Howard and Beth Moore's ineptness, and Jen Wilken's dangerous efforts to destroy complementarianism after a new gospel segment that I have instituted on the podcast, and then I shift back to the first article of Arminianism: Unconditional Election.
2019-10-0559 minThe Reformed RantArminianism: Historical Background Introduction - #41In this episode, I rant about the historical background of Arminianism going all the way back to Arminius, Coornhert, Molina, and even Erasmus and Luther. The goal of this rant is to set up a series of short rants on historic Arminianism and then offer up a charitable critique later.2019-09-2642 minThe Reformed RantSBC Seminary Embraces Radically Subjective Hermeneutic Method - Perspectivism #40In this episode, I rant about the SBC's adoption of the radically subjective hermeneutic method known as perspectivism. It is a method of interpreting the Bible that ultimately destroys the meaning of the text itself. 2019-09-2551 minThe Reformed RantChristian Suicide, Christian Narcissism, and Female ApologistsIn this episode I do an impromptu rant about recent events and discuss my thoughts on issues like suicide, narcissistic Christian leaders (tongue in cheek), and female apologists (do they really exist?). 2019-09-151h 00The Reformed RantSBC: Without Godly Leadership, the People PerishIn this episode I rant about the lack of true leadership across SBC churches all the way up to the highest levels. I focus on the women's movement, the homosexual movement, and the Black Liberation Theology movement as examples of what happens when men care less about truth and their high calling and more about their kingdoms and careers. 2019-09-0249 minThe Reformed RantDiscernment Dysphoria - #37In this episode, I rant about what seems like a low view of unity and Christian charity as well as a serious deficiency of discernment skills that I see in the discernment community as ironic as that sounds. We complain that the social justice advocates won't engage in debate or discussion, choosing instead to call their detractors racists and bigots, but then some in the discernment ministry do the very same thing when people differ with them on the smallest of issues. The double-standard has to be pointed out and hopefully corrected.2019-07-3056 minThe Reformed RantJohn MacArthur, Compromise, and Biblical Polemics - #36In this episode, I rant about the irresponsible manner in which some people are very quick to disparage John MacArthur for preaching the gospel at a conference where Jackie Hill Perry happens to be doing a breakout session. 2019-07-2747 minThe Reformed RantMark Driscoll: Calvinism Is Garbage - #35In this episode I respond to Driscoll's factually wrong points about the Remonstrance and the Five Articles of what came to be known as Arminianism. I also point out how within a five day period he asserted that Calvinism is garbage and that he is reformed, affirms monergism and endorses the give points of Calvinism. Enjoy the incoherence. If nothing else, it is entertaining. 2019-07-1941 minThe Reformed RantSBC's Unifying Principle: Money - #34In this episode I rant about the SBC's true unifying principle: money. Is so doing, I openly criticize Beth Moore, Russell Moore, J.D. Greear, Matt Chandler, and SBC leadership in general for compromising the truth of conservative values, male leadership, and a biblical sexual ethic all to maintain an image that garners more income. Truth is slain on the alter of creating a brand that God-haters can tolerate.2019-07-1946 minThe Reformed RantWho Wrote the Bible? (II) - #33In this episode I continue ranting about who wrote the Bible and why it matters. Modern Christians are relatively ignore of the Bible, it's contents, it's history, and the history of the Church. They claim to love God more than anything while ignoring our only source for understanding who God is, who we are, and what God demands of us.2019-07-1450 minThe Reformed RantWho Wrote the Bible? Answering the Challenge from Atheistic SkepticismIn this episode I offer a basic rant about the skeptical question, "who wrote the Bible?" The response is basic, brief, and geared toward atheistic skepticism. This is the first in a series of rants that I will put out on the subject of Epistemic Authority. Christians begin with Scripture. For Christians, Scripture is God speaking and as such, it is our final authority for faith and practice. If one wishes to know anything at all about reality, Scripture is both necessary and sufficient to answer such questions.2019-07-0457 minThe Reformed RantThe Rise of Feminism in the SBC - #31In this episode I rant about the rise of feminism in the SBC using liberal pastor Wade Burleson as the case study.2019-06-2547 minThe Reformed RantWade Burleson and Gender Equality in The New Testament - 30In this episode I rant about Wade Burleson's claims that gender equality became a thing when the New Testament Church came into being.2019-06-1138 minThe Reformed RantWade Burleson: The Neutering of SBC Male Leadership #29In this episode I engage in a true rant about Wade Burleson's advocacy for and support of neutering every male in the Christian church. Even worse and more specifically, Burleson applauds the increasingly effeminate pastors taking the pulpits across the SBC landscape and wants pastors everywhere to submit to females in their local churches, to include submitting to their own wives. Modern, pagan, American and Western women everywhere love girly men like Burleson. To men like Burleson, being a "real" man is ipso fact to be an abusive man. Just saying that God calls only men to lead is...2019-06-0750 minThe Reformed RantSBC Continues to Back The Wrong Horse #28I rant about the SBC's promotion of Martin Luther King Jr. in light of additional revelations of immorality, Mohler's better late than never response to Beth Moore's feminism, and David Platt's having to explain why he obeyed the Bible and prayed for President Trump. The insanity continues!2019-06-0546 minThe Reformed RantJames Choi's Worldly Wisdom from a Girly South Korean Boy-BandIn this episode I rant about James Choi's suggestion that a South Korean boy band that appeals to young teenage girls offers wisdom from which the church might benefit.2019-05-2845 minThe Reformed RantChristianity's Identity CrisisIn this episode I rant about the fact that Christianity has become so up for grabs that it is quickly losing its true identity. I discuss the craziness from J. D. Greear's voting for democrats to people thinking that you can be saved and have true knowledge of Christ and Christianity without the bible.2019-05-2659 minThe Reformed RantWhat Does Jesus Think About Heretics (25)In this episode I rant about the Bible's emphasis on the existence of, warnings regarding, and condemnation of false teachers and false prophets. Why do so many Christians have such a causal attitude toward false teachers? Better yet, why are so many Christians hostile toward those who do bother to call out false teachers?2019-05-0839 minThe Reformed RantHeretic Hunting (24)In this episode I discuss the importance of heresy hunting, why it is a biblical practice, and reference a twitter thread including Anthony Bradley, Mika Edmonson, Kyle J. Howard, and Beth Moore as good examples of those who are creating division and confusion in the body of Christ.2019-05-0644 minThe Reformed RantWhat About These Heretic Hunters? (23)In this episode I interact with Dave Miller's article "They Will Know You Are Must Disciples if You Trash Heretics." Dave spends a lot of time trashing discernment ministries that trash heretics. The irony is award-winning in my opinion.2019-04-2851 minThe Reformed RantThe Resurrection of Jesus Christ (E22)In this episode I rant about the event of the resurrection, how we know it happened, what it means, and how we should defend it. I return to criticize Frank Turek and Andy Stanley's ideas as toxic and to be avoided at all costs.2019-04-2146 minThe Reformed RantFrank Turek Denies The Necessity of Scripture - 21In this episode I rant about Turek's claim that the Bible isn't necessary in order for Christianity to be true and that Christianity is based on the event of the resurrection and not the Bible.2019-04-1938 minThe Reformed RantThe Folly of Repenting of Whiteness - 20In this episode I rant about the silly notion that something like "Whiteness" is a thing that merits repentance. What black protestants are doing is relabeling sin as "whiteness" and calling it wicked as if the African heart is somehow not quite as black as the non-African's heart. This is an expression of African tribalism. 2019-04-1437 minThe Reformed RantIs Presuppositional Apologetics Irrational - Respond to PaulogiaIn this episode I response to a youtube video that basically accuses presuppositional apologetics as a method to be irrational. This is a short 30 minute rant intended to deal with the major errors in that criticism.2019-04-0830 minThe Reformed RantChurch and Culture: The Apostasy of the PCA MembershipThis episode focuses on a recent survey of the PCA membership revealing a rapid apostasy in that denomination. For example, most PCA members think abortion should be legal and half of the PCA membership thinks homosexuality should be accepted.2019-04-0644 minThe Reformed RantThe Gay Audit for Christian Churches -17In this episode I walk through the gay audit created by the editors of Living Out.
