What is a Reformed Church? Are you a RINO?

No, this presentation is not political. The RINO I spoke of is a church, or person that is Reformed In Name Only. This is a historical overview of a Reformed – Calvinist church. Regretfully I failed to mention the importance of covenant theology over the errs of dispensationalism that have crept into some so-called “reformed”

Kamala Harris is mounting pulpits like a Bull mounting a Heifer

Understandably, Christians are troubled that Kamala Harris is speaking at many so-called churches. But put your ‘race card’ away. Because white female politicians are sinfully doing the same. As well as women in churches all over America. And I am not ashamed to call it a sinful rebellion. Feminists, pro-feminists, and proud feminists will disagree,

Churches and their Fall-O-Ween Jesus

So many “churches” are like the world, while trying hard to say they’re not. Repackaging Halloween with Trunk-Or-Treat, Harvest, or Fall-O-Ween, is like putting lipstick on a pig.

I, as a conscientious objector, will exercise my duty to resist such idolatry and pledge my allegiance to Christ alone. OK, the above was 279 characters of the

A Biblical pastor asks women to remain silent (short video)

While out of town we visited a reformed church. With all the egalitarianism, feminism, and sinful gender equality in churches today, it was refreshing to hear this during the Sunday School teaching. Feminists, pro-feminists, and proud feminists will disagree, but this is Biblical. Doctrine matters, ecclesiology matters. Semper Reformanda, Soli Deo Gloria! ☝️✝️

Systematic Theology, Sufficiency of Scripture / Sola Scriptura

In this PowerPoint, I present the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture and sola Scriptura vs. solo Scriptura. I also address the growing trend of “churches” that no longer practice this doctrine. “In this way the sola Scriptura first became a thesis and then received a polemical and hermeneutical function in the actual life of
