Carlos, Hiram, and Tim announce Pastor Hines’ departure from the ThornCrown Network and discuss the alleged conversion of Kanye West. Is Kanye a true Christian? Is it too soon to tell? Has he passed the Rich Young Ruler test?

Carlos discusses Joshua Harris’ recent apostasy beyond the surface level by examining his book, Dug Down Deep. The conclusions may surprise you. Several topics are discussed in a critical, systematic theological fashion, including youth ministry, salvation, justification, sanctification, works, the flesh, repentance and faith, Lordship Salvation, bibliology, transcendence and immanence, confronting opposition, grace alone, law and gospel, and more!

Heidelberg Catechism Q. 26. 

What believest thou when thou sayest, "I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth"?

A. That the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (who of nothing made heaven and earth, with all that is in them;a who likewise upholds and governs the same by his eternal counsel and providence)b is for the sake of Christ his Son, my God and my Father;c on whom I rely so entirely, that I have no doubt, but he will provide me with all things necessary for soul and bodyd and further, that he will make whatever evils he sends upon me, in this valley of tears turn out to my advantage;e for he is able to do it, being Almighty God,f and willing, being a faithful Father.g

Carlos and Tim catch up on emails, recent events, personal updates, and controversies about Apologetics and the Jeff Durbin/Andy Stanley exchange, School dress ups and gender, Christians and entertainment, Roman Catholic Baptism and Presbyterians, Charles Hodge and JH Thornwell, Richard Gaffin and Justification, and Piper and being Counted Righteous in Christ.

Charles Hodge on the Roman Catholic Church:

Indeed it is a matter of devout thankfulness to God that underneath the numerous grievous and destructive errors of the Romish Church, the great truths of the Gospel are preserved. The Trinity, the true divinity of Christ, the true doctrine concerning his person as God and man in two distinct natures and one person forever, salvation through his blood, regeneration and sanctification through the almighty power of the Spirit, the resurrection of the body, and eternal life, are doctrines on which the people of God in that communion live, and have produced such saintly men as St. Bernard, Fenelon, and doubtless thousands of others who are of the number of God’s elect. (John Robbins, http://www.trinityfoundation.org/journal.php?id=228)

SALVATION BY GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE

Join Tim and Carlos on this weeks episode of Semper Reformanda Radio as they talk about the article published last week on the SRR blog titled The Gospel According to Piper written by Tim Shaughnessy and Tim Kauffman.  Tim and Carlos also take on some of the criticism we have received for the article. The team at SRR is ready to take a firm stand on this issue and considers this a gospel issue of utmost importance. In light of this controversy over the doctrine of justification by faith alone, we want to recommend to our listeners and readers the following blogs.

On The Necessity And Efficacy Of Good Works In Salvation

In this episode of Semper Reformanda Radio, your host Tim Shaughnessy seeks to answer the question: “Are Roman Catholics saved?” Take a deep dive into scripture with Tim to find the answer. It is important to compare what Rome teaches with what the Bible says. Tim also tackles some passages like James 2:24, which is often used by Roman Catholics to support their view of how a person is saved. If you know someone who could benefit from a message like this then please feel free to share it.Questions? Comments? Feedback? Find us on Facebook or email us at semper.reformanda.radio@gmail.com!
