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”
Many churches that claim to be reformed, but are not, are either ignorant or disingenuous. Hopefully not the latter. A reformed church is orthodox, not heterodox, and they practice a regulative principle of worship, hence orthopraxy. An evidence of this can be their liturgy includes the Psalmody – the singing Psalms from the book of
Scriptures say, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Heb 10:31). For me, it’s also a fearful thing to accept the new challenge of teaching Systematic Theology at our church. While studying Theology Proper, I’m already trembling with fear, concern, conviction and correction. Please say a prayer for
Christian chatter on the internet today sounds too much like the world. They follow celebrity pastors like rock stars or movie actors.

Females in seminary are worse than trans men participating on a women’s sports team.
Years ago, while visiting my first reformed church I asked a fellow “When and where does your men’s ministry meet?” He replied, “We don’t have one, they’re not Biblical!” I was taken aback by that. But being taken back is a good thing. I didn’t fight it. I investigated it and learned the difference between
The signs of a healthy & biblical Church & how I used my COVID stimulus funds to resist socialism – Podcast #41 When a Christian applies for membership at a local church. It becomes a solemn duty of that church to investigate the candidate before extending their right hand of fellowship to him or her.
Disclaimer: Though architecture is important, I am not speaking in the context of the architecture of the building. Nonetheless, I am speaking of how the congregation meets. Let me first say what a sanctuary is not. The sanctuary of a church is not a country club, a social club, a recreational room, a community center,
