#269 What is Reformed Theology?
Why is there so much disunity in the modern Reformed movement? Is Charismatic Theology consistent with Reformed Theology? How is Dispensationalism different to Reformed Theology? Are all Calvinists Reformed? The term is thrown around a lot today, but what does ‘Reformed’ really mean and represent?
#268 Tim Keller’s Ballet Dancers and the Regulative Principle of Worship
We take a look at the infamous ballet performance that took place at Tim Keller’s church, Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. What is wrong in the video, if anything? How are we to worship God in spirit and in truth? We also play Dr. Joseph Pipa’s response to the video in question.
#235 Christmas Vs The Lord’s Day
Can Christmas be lawfully observed? Can Christmas be considered purely a secular holiday? Can someone honour the Lord’s Day and celebrate Christmas this year, as December 25th falls on the Lord’s day? What does the modern church’s love of Christmas, and neglect of the Sabbath, tell us about how we view God’s law in our day? How should we treat subjects like Santa Claus with our children?
#232 Songs of the Spirit: What are Biblical Worship Songs?
We are joined on today’s show by David Silversides, Minister of Loughbrickland Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland, and by Kenneth Stewart, Minister of Glasgow Reformed Presbyterian Church of Scotland. What is the place of the book of Psalms in the worship of God? Can hymns written by men, outside of the inspired Psalter, be used in the worship of God? What is the Regulative Principle of Worship? What is Exclusive Psalmody? Is it Biblical? What was the practice of the early church in regards to this issue? What was the view of many of the Reformers on this issue? Does Exclusive Psalmody promote or hinder the unity of the church? Can musical instruments be lawfully used in the worship of God?
