The Reformed Rant

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 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 Roman Church, many of whom are sincere in their devotion, but to test the system itself against the truth revealed in God’s Word. For if the gospel is distorted, then eternal souls are at stake.

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 Reformed Rant,I take a few moments to reflect on the life, influence, and legacy of Charlie Kirk and his work with Turning Point USA. With his recent passing, emotions are high, and responses have been pouring in from across the political and religious spectrum.I want to praise God for the good that has come—and will continue to come—through Charlie’s bold contributions to the conservative movement and to the broader Church of God. His courage to speak truth in thepublic square and engage young minds in the cultural arena is not to be taken lightly. At the same time, I would like to urge you, the listener, to keep your critical thinking cap firmlyin place. As we reflect on someone’s legacy, we must be careful not to let our affections cloud our discernment. Affirm the good—but do not ignore the concerns. Truth never calls us to compromise. And in honoring those who have gone before us, we must always remember that our highest allegiance is toChrist and His Word. So join me as I offer my thoughts—not just in tribute, but in truth.

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 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 what a Christian response to the Steve Lawson situation looks like.

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 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 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 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 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 denial of original by men like Leighton Flowers and movements like Provisionism. The denial of original sin is a rejection of historic biblical Christianity.
