Join us as we conclude this wonderful study of God's Word..

Total depravity is a key doctrine of Reformed Theology.  If you get this one wrong, you will get the rest of the bible wrong.  Join me as I discuss this important doctrine with Ryan Galan. Here are the scriptures mentioned in the podcast: The Bible informs us that men are not only finite, but are now also sinners, who: by nature cannot bring forth good fruit (Matt. 7:18, Lk 6:43) by nature cannot hear Christ’s word that they might have life (John 8:43), by nature cannot submit themselves to the law of God (Rom. 8:7),   by nature cannot please God (Rom 8:8)   by nature cannot discern truths of the Spirit of God (1 Cor. 2:14),   by nature cannot confess from the heart Jesus as Lord (1 Cor. 12:3),   by nature cannot control the tongue (James 3:8),  by nature cannot come to Christ (John 6:44, 45, 65),   by nature cannot receive the Holy Spirit (John 14:17) and   by nature cannot see (understand) the kingdom of God unless they're born again (Jn 3:3). The sinfulness of mankind: (see Gen. 6:5; Ps. 58:3; Jer. 17:9; Luke 11:13; Rom. 3:10–18, 23; Gal. 5:19–21; Eph. 2:1–3; 4:17–19). In order to do any of these things, they must receive powerful aid coming to them ab extra. So there simply is no such thing as a free will which can always choose the right. Being spiritually dead means being separate from God. Since were separated because of our sin, Jesus says: apart from me, you can do nothing (cannot do anything) John 15:5. Reformed Rookie

Psalm 2: Today I’m putting up a recent sermon I did on Psalm 2. This psalm is a coronation psalm written by David with enormous significance for us as it points to the coronation of Jesus as King.  And in this psalm, we will hear the voice of the Triune God speak with great power to both believer and unbelievers as to His kingship and the fate of those who rage against Him. www.ReformedRookie.com

Masterclass: "Regeneration" 1 John 5:1In this segment, Dr. James White focuses on interpreting 1 John, particularly 1 John 5:1, 2:29, and 4:7, using grammatical constructions and contextual analysis. Dr. White argues that being born of God is the foundation for believing, loving, and doing righteousness, contrasting this with the Provisionist view that these actions lead to being born of God. He uses Granville Sharp constructions and parallel passages within 1 John to support their interpretation. The speaker challenges Dr. David Allen, a Provisionist, to address these textual arguments, accusing him of avoiding direct engagement with the language and context of 1 John, particularly regarding 1 John 5:1.

Titus 2:15: Declare, Exhort, and RebukeTitus 2:15 is the focus, commanding Titus to "declare," "exhort," and "rebuke" with authority. "Declare" means to teach authoritatively, and this command frames the entire chapter (Titus 2:1-15) as an inclusio, highlighting what Titus must teach. This teaching emphasizes Christian behavior that stands out from the world, reflecting the gospel's transformative power. Sound doctrine, described as spiritual "hygiene," is crucial for a healthy congregation and effective counseling. The passage addresses specific groups (older men/women, younger men, bondservants), providing instructions for godly living. Grace, central to salvation, trains believers to renounce ungodliness and live self-controlled lives between Christ's comings. Good works are essential, not for earning salvation, but as evidence of a changed life and love for others. Specific instructions are given to older men and women, younger men, and bondservants, emphasizing self-control, reverence, and submission. The goal is that the word of God may not be reviled. Elders, like Titus, must model good works, integrity, and sound speech. Exhortation involves biblical encouragement, while rebuke corrects errors, aiming to bring hearers to obedience. Authority in these matters comes from God's Word. The summary concludes with a discussion of grace and godliness, guarding against legalism and license, and the importance of remembering God's promises and acting like Jesus. The podcast concludes with a prayer for victory and a call to action, referencing Martin Luther's stand for truth. The Reformed Rookie podcast and its resources at reformedrookie.com are mentioned.
