The Reformed Singaporean

The Life and Ministry of Jonathan Edwards - Dr. Matthew Everhard

This was an absolute banger of an episode to record! I had the privilege of getting Dr. Matthew Everhard (D.Min in Jonathan Edwards) all the way from the USA to speak on the life and ministry of the great American Puritan Theologian, Pastor, Revivalist Jonathan Edwards. This conversation was such a huge blessing to me and I am certain that it will be for you as well. May our lives continue to conform to Christ and may our affections for Him and His finished work ever increase. You can follow and subscribe to Matthew's Youtube channel @Matthew Everhard. Dr. Matthew Everhard is an ordained Presbyterian minister in the PCA, and a Jonathan Edwards scholar. He is Pastor of Gospel Fellowship PCA, North of Pittsburgh. Matthew is a writer for Modern Reformation. www.modernreformation.org He is a graduate of Malone University, (BA) Ashland Theological Seminary (MAPT), and Reformed Theological Seminary (DMIN). Matthew is the author, editor, or contributor to a number of books including: Hold Fast the Faith: A Devotional Commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith (Great Lakes); A Collection or Essays on Jonathan Edwards (JESociety); The Jonathan Edwards Encyclopedia (Eerdmans); The Westminster Society Journal (Westminster Society) and several more. He has an upcoming book called A Theology of Joy: Jonathan Edwards and Eternal Happiness in the Holy Trinity (Fort Worth, TX: JESociety Press, 2018).

Infant Baptism - God's Covenant sign and seal of His Promises

Why should Christians baptize their infants and children? Is this practice merely a result of blind tradition or a hidden love for Roman Catholicism? Or perhaps, is it something the Bible actually teaches from Old to New Testaments? In this episode I will argue from Scripture why I believe this is what God has decreed for His church to practice, take comfort in, and to enjoy the riches of His promises made to His beloved Bride - The Covenant People of God.

Responding to Kong Hee on Calvinism and Arminianism

In this episode I respond to a recent video which showcased the theological views of Kong Hee, one of Singapore's most famous "pastors" on the subject of Calvinism and Arminianism. If you want a more in-depth explanation of Calvinism itself, you can tune in to my TULIP series on this podcast. In this episode, I will focus more on pointing out how the Arminian position as put forth by people like Kong Hee is heavily inconsistent with the Biblical teaching of Scripture with regards to the Will of Man, the Predestinating work of God, and other things related to Salvation. I do this because I think the belief that Kong Hee represents is the same belief that is held by many Singaporean Christians today which is of great concern, and I pray that this response to Kong Hee will encourage more discussions and research on this important Biblical doctrine! May all of our doctrine be conformed to the Scriptures, and that they may indeed be God-glorifying and not man-glorifying.

What is Covenant Theology?

Continuing in our series about what it means to be Reformed, David and I discuss what is Covenant Theology and why this is such a central aspect to all of Biblical Theology and crucial to understanding God's redemptive purposes in history. Does God have multiple plans or one plan of salvation? Does God have one people or two separate distinct peoples? Can God fail in keeping any of His promises? Join us in this episode where we discuss this important topic in detail! Intro & Outro Song - "Set A Fire" by Aaron Rench & Adriel Cruz Follow me on Instagram!!! @the.reformed.singaporean

What does it mean to be Confessional?

Continuing in the series of "What does it mean to be Reformed?" In this episode we talk about what it means to be "Confessional". Being a "Confessional Christian" seems to be a lost pursuit in today's day of "Minimalistic Christianity". What does it mean to be a "Confessional Christian"? Why identify with a denomination? Aren't Christians supposed to just be focused on being united? Why subscribe to a particular confession/creed of faith? Shouldn't the Christian life be just me and my Bible? I am delighted to have Mark from the Full Metal Calvinists podcast "@fmcalvinists on Instagram" to join me on this episode where we discuss the importance of having a robust historic Christian foundation, and why that is so incredibly vital in today's age of theological minimalism and shallow evangelicalism.
