The Reformed Rant

Continuing my series on false religions, I ask the question, is the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement a true expression of Christianity with which we disagree, or is it something else?

On this episode, I cover a little about the history and teachings of Charles Taze Russell and the Jehovah's Witnesses. This is not just a false religion, it is one of the most aggressive false religions of our day.

In this episode, I continue my series on false religions. I shift my focus to Islam, which I claim is more than just a false religion. It is overtly incoherent, rationally speaking, and dangerous from a political standpoint.

In this episode, I explore the history of Judaism to include its direct encounter with the actual head and founder of Christianity itself, Jesus Christ. What you will discover might shock you. Enjoy!

In approaching this question, one must examine whether the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church align with the authoritative Word of God or whether they stand in opposition to it. This episode will therefore analyze key doctrinal issues—such as justification, authority, the sacraments, and the role of Mary and the saints—in light of Scripture. The goal is not to attack individuals within the Rom...

There is a growing concern that some Christians will be tempted to see Mormonism in a positive light, given their allegiance to conservative values and politics. This episode warns Christians not to compromise in this area. Mormonism has historically been deemed an anti-Christian cult and a false religion by Christians. We must ensure that we continue to make this distinction.

DISCLOSURE: While a 2019 video of Charlie Kirk and Rod Smith shows Charlie defending gay Christianity, a 2024 video suggests that Charlie's views on this issue took a turn. In 2024 he clearly condemns the practice and quotes Leviticus 18 an 20 while doing so. I took the episode down until I located evidence that Charlie held the orthodox Christian view on homosexuality. In this episode of The...

In this episode I respond to John Piper's claim that Colossians 2:11-12 refutes infant baptism and Kevin DeYoung's claim that it affirms it and links NT baptism to OT circumcision.

In this episode, I warn Christians about taking up an ungodly and hateful attitude toward the Jewish nation. Antisemitism is incongruent with a faithful and godly lifestyle at its core. The godly Christian will avoid it at every turn.

In this episode I discuss popular grey areas like alcohol and even yoga. Christians should avoid coming up with rules outside of Scripture and then placing those rules on others.

In this episode, I provide a straightforward argument that shows the impossibility of continuationism from an exegetical, empirical, and sufficiency of Scripture perspective.

In this episode I talk about the real dangers of modern Arminianism and how this religion is really nothing more than ancient Pelagianism with a Christian mask.

In this episode I talk about what a Christian response to the Steve Lawson situation looks like.

In this episode I provide my review of Jared Moore's book, The Lust of The Flesh. It is a breath of fresh air and much needed resource for believers as we continue to fight for the purity of the body of Christ.

In this episode I discuss the 2022 Ligonier survey on the state of theology. The results are shocking but predictable given the current trends and trajectory of the churches. In addition, I play a number of clips capture some of the false teachers out there and their false teachings.

In this episode, I talk about the recent controversy regarding Allister Begg's advice that a grandmother attend her grandson's wedding ceremony to a transgender. The advice has caught everyone off guard and for good reason. We have come to expect better than this from pastor Begg.

In this episode, I talk about the best ways to destroy Christianity. As one might imagine, most of these tactics center around alienating Christianity from God speaking in Scripture as much as you can. Regrettably, this work is well underway even in some of the most conservative churches, so-called.

In this episode I continue to talk about how Christopher Yuan is being employed by large SBC churches, such as Hickory Grove in Charlotte, NC, to weaken the church's traditional view on homosexuality. Yuan is on record affirming that you can be a Christian and have pedophilic desires.

In this episode I rant about how SBC churches using Christopher Yuan, an admitted homosexual, how to train their people "biblical" sexuality. It should be noted that Yuan is on record as saying you can be sexually attracted to children and be a true believer. That's right. You can be a pedophile and be a Christian.

In this episode, I discuss the need to get back to basic evangelism in a postmodern culture.

In this episode, I talk about how Andy Stanley admits that Sam Harris has influenced and reshaped his preaching and framing of the gospel and Christianity for over 15 years now.

In this episode, I deal with the incoherence in Andy Stanley's apologetic method and theology. It is impossible to separate "the Bible says" from what Matthew or Luke or Paul says. What the authors of the Bible say, the Bible says. Moreover, if one of the authors of Scripture proves unreliable in regards to one miracle, say the virgin birth, then how can we consider that author to be...

In this episode, I have a special guess on to do my very first Q&A. Chris Soules is both a Christian brother as well as a Jiu Jitsu brother. On this episode, Chris asks about the doctrine of election and the conversation takes off from there. I hope you enjoy the discussion.

In this episode, I rant about the Christian Franchise. Modern Christianity has adopted the franchise model in the 20th and 21st centuries. The Christian Franchise's top service is affirmation. Everything she says and does is geared toward affirming people in the marketplace so as to attract and retain market share. All across the globe, people suffer from my newly coined term Affirmation Addiction...

In this episode, I rant about the denial of original by men like Leighton Flowers and movements like Provisionism. The denial of original sin is a rejection of historic biblical Christianity.
