Join us for a weekly discussion on living with discernment in this world. We’ll have discussions of how the gospel and the word of God ought to be applied to current events, the problems facing our society, the history of what God has done in the world, trends in the church and many other topics. The scriptures have a lot to say about those issues, and we see a lack of Biblical thinking and application to culture in many professing Christian circles today. We want to do our part to reverse that trend. Video episodes available at www.theconqueringtruth.com

    Can Man Resist the Grace of God?

    If grace is the goodness of God, then it seems obvious that some goodness can be resisted while others can’t. Think about a baby being born. If the mother and father want to bring the baby out of the womb there’s nothing the baby can do to stop it. Or consider an unconscious man whose heart has stopped or is beating irregularly.. He will find it impossible to resist the emergency surgery or the doctor shocking his heart back into a normal rhythm. But other types of grace can be resisted. That same child years later can refuse to celebrate his birthday with his family and can sulk and pout even if his parents force him to come to the party. The man whose heart has been restarted can refuse to take his prescribed medicines or to exercise as he should. It is similar in the Christian life. Scripture talks about man resisting the grace of God. But it also talks about man being born again and the Spirit blowing where it will. It talks about God giving man a new heart and replacing the heart of stone with one of flesh. If an earthly parent can show irresistible grace to their child then it is hard to argue that the Father of Spirits cannot do the same. For those who hate to think of God as God, as the One who sovereignly rules in heaven, irresistible grace or effectual calling is considered something immoral. But scripture says that it is about the glory of God. It is about God choosing to show compassion to those who He wants to show compassion. We are saved by grace and if you don't want to receive grace from God, you should question if you are saved. So let’s start off with a question: Is there a biblical reason why we would want saving grace to be resistible?Timecodes00:00:00 Intro00:08:04 Why Grace has to be Irresistible00:12:29 Fallen Man Cannot Understand Good Gifts00:21:25 Hate the Prerogative Belonging to God00:26:14 This Grace is Given Throughout a Believers' Life00:34:24 It is God's Work and God's Purpose00:38:59 Irresistible Grace from Scripture00:43:41 Picture of Jonah00:48:23 Example of Those that did not Receive Grace00:52:51 Resisting the Holy SpiritProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

    Who is Israel? The Madness of Huckabee vs Carlson

    Recently, Tucker Carlson interviewed Ambassador Mike Huckabee and asked him questions that he struggled to answer. Questions like: Who are the children of Abraham? Who are the Jews? What is the land that God promised? And what was the nature of that promise? And, in this present time, how do we identify the people God promised that land to?  Many people say the answer is obvious because there are people that call themselves Jews, but when you consider that many Christians believe America should support Israel militarily as ones who have a God-given right to the land, the answers matter a great deal. This becomes even more important when you consider that Israel does not allow Jews who have converted to Christianity the right to return, so it is not purely genetic in national Israel's eyes.  So before we talk about the problems with both Huckabee's and Tucker's arguments, who was the promise of the land that was given to Abram?

    Reformed Free Will: How Man's Will Is Subservient to God’s

    Arminians want to argue that to have free will is somehow against predestination and the election of God in salvation, but that is not what the Reformed confessions teach. For example in the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith it says, “God hath decreed … all things, … yet God [is] neither the author of sin … nor is violence offered to the will of the creature, nor is liberty taken away, but rather established”. When people claim that Calvinism says that there is no such thing as free will, nothing could be farther from the truth. The issue is the definition of free will, because many Arminians hold to a definition of free will that according to the Bible, not even God Himself has. So let's start with a question: what is the nature of God's free will?Listen to the audio version here: Timecodes00:00 Nature of Free Will05:08 Libertarian Free Will is False16:17 You can only choose what pleases us25:58 Fallen Man Chooses Evil30:16 The Heart is the Problem32:53 God Gives us Light to Make the Right Choice51:11 How God's Means Affect our Choices59:09 Who Are We to Reply Against GodProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

    Was Epstein Really a Monster? Man’s Depravity and God’s Justice

    When people talk about Jeffrey Epstein or other evil men, like Jeffrey Dahmer or Adolf Hitler, they tend to label them “monsters” or “sub-human”. They do this in an attempt to not only distance themselves from their evil acts, but to separate themselves further by saying that these evil men had a different nature from “normal” men. The problem with this is that all men have the same nature, and it is only due to God’s mercy that He constrains their sin and limits the depravity of their actions. Jeffrey Epstein was, without a doubt, an evil man, but if you understand history and the nature of human behavior, you will find that many men have and would act in similar ways. For a man who has vast financial resources and no fear of God, this type of behavior is more typical than exceptional.In this episode, we focus on the nature of evil and the outworking of man’s depravity. We discuss how easy it is to magnify the sins of certain men while completely overlooking the sins of others who have done far worse. While Jeffrey Epstein did great evil, the Catholic church has in the same general time period, molested thousands upon thousands of young boys and girls worldwide, with very little prosecution or media attention.

    How the Super Bowl Has Ravaged the Church

    There are churches that hold Super Bowl parties or cancel Sunday evening services so people can watch the Super Bowl. If the Sabbath is a day of rest, why shouldn't we do what we want to relax on that day?Thumbnail image by Alan Owns under BY-NC-SA 2.0Timecodes00:00 Sabbath Made for Man09:56 Superbowl Idolatry13:22 Sabbath Sports28:57 Joy in God40:05 Childrens' Sunday Sports42:54 Fighting for the Sabbath57:28 Community Testimony01:01:33 Are Sports Special?Production of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

    The Big Lie of Easy Believism (The Death of Scott Adams)

    Scott Adams, the cartoonist who created Dilbert, died recently, and as part of his final public statements, made a very disturbing profession of non-faith while claiming to accept Christ as his Lord and Savior. The general response to this within Christian circles was even more disturbing, with many seeing it as a positive thing and reacting negatively toward any attempt to examine, analyze, or comment on what happened. And while we are going to discuss Scott Adams, our goal is much more to focus on the state of the church, and how easy believism has progressed to such a point that saying you do not believe is considered acceptable.

    Moses Was Not a Dispensationalist

    Dispensationalists often argue that Old Testament promises to Israel must only be fulfilled in a physical way to the earthly nation of Israel. There are many complexities with that view because even in the Old Testament, the word “Israel” is also used to mean the promised land, the northern kingdom, the church, or even Jesus Christ. And while there are promises that were made to the physical nation, it is important to understand that God laid the groundwork for bringing in the Gentiles to Moses all the way back in the Pentateuch. In Deuteronomy, in the Song of Moses, Moses understood that the earthly nation of Israel was just a type and that those to whom God gave the gift of faith are the true Israel. In this episode, we look at how fundamental the typology of Israel is to redemptive history and how easy it is to miss it because of how strongly dispensationalism has been pushed in the US and much of the rest of the world.

    Is Interracial Marriage Sinful or Unwise?

    There are many false teachers on social media who are making foolish statements about race, culture, and marriage, saying things like, “interracial marriage isn’t a sin, it’s just not ideal,” or “it’s fine to tell your white daughter she shouldn’t marry a solid Christian black man because you want grandchildren who look like you.” These wolves are not just giving bad advice; they are attacking the heart of the gospel, not because the gospel requires you to marry someone from a different culture or “race”, but because it commands you to prioritize spiritual matters over physical concerns. Most people don’t have the luxury of choosing between two or more identical spiritually-qualified life partners. And the last thing you should do in such a situation is make physical matters primary. And we should not think this is a new debate. It has been going on for some time in different forms, and though now its proponents are trying to soften it from the openBob Jones University position, which banned interracial dating until 2008 by claiming it was against God's design. So here’s the question: Is there any actual Scriptural support for their idea?Timecodes00:00:00 Leaders Pushing This00:08:32 Qualifications for Marriage00:16:04 Moses' Marriage00:22:58 Christ's Marriage00:28:52 Ruth's Marriage00:33:02 What Is Race?00:49:28 Is It Unwise?00:54:00 Biblical Law00:57:29 Christian Culture01:08:35 Punishment for Foreign WivesProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson
