Description In this episode of Christ and Kingdom, we move on to the subject of Reformed Federalism or covenant theology. As part of the “Reformed Path” of theology, Reformed Federalism is an essential part of Reformed theology. This foundational aspect of Reformed thought has many important facets that need to be carefully explained and understood. In part one we tackle the importance of covenant theology, the critical role that the covenant of redemption, works and grace play in a proper understanding of man’s relationship to God and God’s purpose for creation. In order to do this we interact with the all-important subject of nature and grace, and we also contrast the Reformed view of nature and grace over against the errors of Rome and other approaches to creation, image and protology.

In this episode on Christ and Kingdom we develop part two of second on Reformed Trinitarianism and focus on the error of mutualism. Too often Evangelicals and even Reformed thinkers develop a doctrine of God that results in some level of development in God. This is the mutualist error. In this episode we also explore modern authors and theologians who have compromised the doctrine of divine immutability by either insisting that God condescends to the level of the creature, or elevates the creature to the level of the Creator.

There are those Christian thinkers that ‘game-changing’ for Christian education and discipleship, Peter Jones from TruthXchange.com joins Emilio Ramos on Christ and Kingdom to discuss his apologetics approach. In this episode we discuss the importance of what Peter Jones calls Oneism and Twoism, and the importance of the doctrine of the Creator. While our culture is becoming increasingly pagan, we must maintain the proper Creator/creature distinction and relation. If we fail to do this, we will see paganism make increasing inroads into the Church and compromise our doctrine of God and our Christian witness. We also interact with Carl Jung, Alchemy and the all-important doctrine of eschatology. Great discussion!

We continue our discussion in The Christian Life by Sinclair Ferguson. Today we discuss part one of Chapter Three entitled, God’s Plan of Grace for You. Pastors Emilio, Kevin, and Mike discuss why it is essential for believers to grasp the concept of God’s decree. Too often we see our Christian lives as disjointed, random, and individualistic but Scripture teaches that this is really all part of God’s great sovereign plan from all eternity. Our salvation is even more glorious than we think when we consider God’s eternal plan in Christ and our participation in God’s great plan of grace for His people.

We continue our discussion in The Christian Life by Sinclair Ferguson. In Chapter Two of this helpful book, Sinclair Ferguson focuses on the image of God and the effects that sin has on God’s image in us as His image-bearers. Emilio, Kevin and Mike unpack Chapter Two, God’s Broken Image. When we think about combating sin in our own lives, we should start with understanding how sin impacts our ability to glorify God as His image-bearers. How does sin deface this image? What does the power of sin look like when we are under its dominion? How do we shift the blame of sin so that we replace the guilt of sin with other things? And What role does the devil play in all of this?

The church in the 21st-century is in unprecedented times as we face the challenge of modern and technological culture. In this episode of Christ and Kingdom, Emilio Ramos interacts with the theology and importance of Herman Bavinck. Whether we’re thinking about our political seen or technological age; the church must answer the questions of the modern era. In order to do this, we need a reliable guide both theologically and apologetically. Herman Bavinck was a forward-thinking Dutch theologian who wrote with the rising generations in mind. The recently re-released volume, The Wonderful Works of God, demonstrates Bavinck’s penmanship for current theology that is sensitive to Historical Theology and yet relevant for the scientific and modern era in which we live. True to pilgrim theology and Reformed thought, this Dutch theologian has become a prophetic reformer that we must listen to perhaps now more than ever. Subscribe, share and enjoy the show!

Have you really thought about implantable technology? In this episode of Christ and Kingdom, host Emilio Ramos engages with that very daunting and complex issue. Also, longtime friend Kevin More joins the show.
Is it ethical for Christians to get implantable technology in the first place? How much technology is too much? What evidence is there that implantable technology is in our near future? Exactly how far are we from a large-scale application of such technology today? Why is the Church ignoring such unprecedented technology? These questions can be daunting, and controversial but we must form answers to these questions now before world-shaping and time-accelerating events bring this technology to our doorstep. This is a cultural development we cannot ignore and we certainly cannot be ignorant of how the biblical worldview informs us with regard to such important questions such as these.
