Summary

Deep Dive into Assurance by Charles Spurgeon - Full AssuranceA Christian's strength is fundamentally rooted in full assurance of their salvation. This unwavering conviction that God is their God and sure salvation empowers them in every aspect of their spiritual life. It is the primary source of their vigor, enabling them to be strong in laboring for God, bold in fighting against their spiritual enemies, and mighty in resisting temptations. This assurance cultivates the joy of the Lord, which serves as their strength, directly countering the despair and diminished happiness caused by doubts and fears.Furthermore, full assurance greatly enhances a Christian's valor and effectiveness in spiritual warfare, transforming them into "giants" in their faith, courageous and effective where doubt would otherwise weaken them by cutting the sinews of their valor and blunting their spiritual sword. This deep certainty fosters profound gratitude and love for God, motivating them to be self-sacrificing, zealous, and highly industrious in Christ's cause. Knowing their names are "written in the Lamb's Book of Life" inspires them to "do anything for him; I would live for him; I would die for him." It brings a deep, sweet calm and inner peace, allowing them to face external challenges and even death without fear, as they "can read his title clear." Ultimately, assurance is presented as the best means of promoting holiness and keeping believers in the fear of God, leading to a life dedicated to His service and a clear, unwavering confidence in their eternal destiny.Reformed Theologian GPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-XXwzX1gnv-reformed-theologianhttps://buymeacoffee.com/edi2730

Using Scripture and Reformed thinking to navigate these waterways in a Biblically sound way. Axe to the Root with Bojidar Marinov | Reconstructionist Radio Reformed Network Reconstructionist Radio | Reformed Christian Podcast In theory, all of us know our orthodoxy. We know about the Trinity, about our redemption. We can speak about our solas, and we know our TULIP. But then, when most of us go out in the world and meet reality, we still view it and assess it through pagan eyes. That’s because our modern theology has become abstract, limited to the world of our personal faith, and divorced from God’s reality. Bojidar Marinov’s Axe to the Root Podcast will help you turn your abstract theology into a relevant, applied theology, by thinking covenantally about every area of life, and about every practical issue in today’s world. This is a production of Recon Radio. My Path to Atheism by Annie Besant (1847 - 1933) LibriVox My Path to Atheism is a remarkable document in many ways, not least that it was written by a woman in Victorian England, not the most open free-thinking of societies, especially for women at that time. It needed a remarkable woman to write such a revolutionary and to 19th century minds, heretical document in a society where the Church had such a stronghold. Besant herself was originally married to a clergyman, but her increasingly anti-religious views and writings led to a legal separation. She went on to become a member of the National Secular Society and thence to co-edit the National Reformer, which put forth ideas on revolutionary ideas at the time such as trades unions, national education, birth control and so on. In 1877 Besant published this book 'My Path to Atheism' which was compiled from a series of lectures in which she surgically dissects the basic tenets of Christianity. As one reads the chapters, one can follow the evolution of her ideas from Theism to Atheism, ending up Reformed Forum Reformed Forum Reformed Forum supports the church in presenting every person mature in Christ (Colossians 1:28) by providing Reformed theological resources to pastors, scholars, and anyone who desires to grow in their understanding of Scripture and the theology that faithfully summarizes its teachings.
