The Reformed Rant

In 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. 

In 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.

In this episode, I rant about the recent SEBTS and its symposium which included a lecture from Elisabeth Mburu on the topic of African Hermeneutics..

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.

In 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.

In 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. 

In 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, Bib...

In 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 d...

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.&nbs...

In 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'...

In 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. 

In 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. 

In 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.

In 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!

In 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.

In 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.

In this episode, I rant about the idolatrous obsession with image in both Western society and Evangelicalism. 

In 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...

In 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?

In 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. 

In 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.

In 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!

In 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. 

In 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.

In 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!
