How Fallen Man Is Totally Unable to Merit God's Grace | Choice vs. Chosen in the NT | CWJC ep. 15
One of the most humbling truths in the Bible is the teaching that all men are born fallen in Adam. The biblical picture of what it means to be spiritually dead in that condition is one of inability, one of being an enemy, and one of wandering into sin as lost sheep. In other words, we do not seek...

Breaking Down the John 6:44 Debate | White vs. Flowers | Coffee with John Calvin ep. 13
In this video, I review the debate that James White and Leighton Flowers had on John 6:44 (which really ended up being a debate on John 6:45). I am more Reformed so I was already extremely biased in White's direction, and after reviewing the debate more thoroughly, I still feel like White's...

The Unregenerate Mind and The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk (A Calvinist Perspective) | ep. 12
In this episode, I look at Scripture pertaining to three areas: (1) the unregenerate mind of unbelievers, (2) God's divine plan amidst horrific evils, and (3) the necessity of declaring the Gospel so that God can work through it to save elect sinners. It is hard for us as Christians to process...

In this episode, we look at John Calvin's commentary on John 6:39. We see a clear picture of the justification and reasoning behind how we can rest assured that we have eternal security in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We also look at some of the parallels between John 6 and John 10, that…

Predestined Individuals or a Predestined Process? | John 6:38-39 | Drawn by The Father - Part 3 | ep. 007
In this episode, I first respond to a Reddit troll who completely misunderstood my article on the correlation between obedience and our love for God/success for the Kingdom. Next, I look at Calvin's commentary of John 6:38-39, as well as Ephesians 1:1-12, to see if individuals are predestined...

Faith is a Gift? | Calvin on John 6:37-38 | Drawn by the Father - Part 2 | ep. 006

Thomas Aquinas on John 6:35-44 | Drawn by the Father - Part 1 | ep. 005
In this episode, I explain how irresistible grace is a doctrine that arises by a careful study of John 6:35-44. I also look to Thomas Aquinas’ commentary on the part of the passage where Christ says that of that given to Him He loses nothing, and how he attempts to reconcile that with John 17:12,...

Then, we look to John Calvin's commentary on John 6:35, where Christ refers to Himself as the Bread of Life, to see what meanings we can gather from the words of our Messiah. Please like, share, and...

Romans 8:5-7 | The Mind Set on the Flesh | ep. 002
In this episode, we explore the difference in the mind set on the flesh vs. the mind set on the Spirit. It appears clear that Calvin taught that outside of God’s grace through regeneration, all we do is evil. And this makes sense, if we could actually do things that are spiritually fruitful…
