Reformation South: Recent Episodes
Proper Ministries
We aim to take a serious look into the lifestyle of ”Bible-belt Christianity” and all the various ways that reform would help edify the body of believers here in the deep south.
There is much to be studied and discussed; we pray that you will find hope, encouragement, conviction, and blessing as you listen.
Join us as we pursue Christ through the study of His Word, enjoy in-depth conversation, and above all else, seek to glorify God in all things.
Join alongside us as we begin our study of the Gospel of John. In this sermon, we lay down some main themes that we want to consider as we study:1.) Who Christ Is.2.) Who We Are.3.) Who God Is.
Join us as we study through the first section of Ephesians 5 and consider why we should pursue holy living, and what causes our struggle in the midst of this pursuit.
A study from Psalm 2, Romans 1&8, and other Scriptures on how Christians can process all that is going on around them. A reminder that we are called to glorify God during our time here on earth.
The first six verses of this chapter remind us of this truth:God is with His people, and He is always accomplishing His good and perfect will.
How does the story of Esau selling his birthright relate to our fight against sin?Join us to find out.
Join us today as we read, and pray, through 1 Peter 1.May God be glorified as we contemplate the His work in salvation.
Who is the true Father over Israel?Who is the true promised Son?Join us as we continue our journey through the book of Genesis today and look at the significance of Isaac receiving all that Abraham had.
All believers are called to exercise discernment and test the spirits; with all that is going on locally and across America, it is time for us to look past all the hype, emotions, and excitement that often gets conjured up and turn to the Scripture instead.
The Scripture makes us wise unto salvation, sanctifies us, purifies us, and unifies us.
If we truly desire unity, and if we truly care about the eternal souls of others, we will possess a deep love for the sound doctrine of Scripture.
In the study, we will consider God's faithfulness, Abraham's strengthened faith in God, the steadfast love of God, and His full sovereignty over providing a bride for the promised Son.Join us as we study Genesis 24
The reason to call out error within the body of Christ, is because true brotherly love compels us to seek the well being, health, and protection of our brethren.
It is out of love for Christ and the body of believers that these current events must be addressed. My desire is to see great unity and joy within the church, true unity and true joy which glorifies the Father without question.
So, if 70% of church folks are probably not truly saved, which evangelistic method brought these goats pretending to be sheep into the fold ? Let's discuss it as we study the Word.
Do we trust the Gospel?
In our last installment, we considered that question and looked in to some of the modern practices which expose our lack of faith in the power of the Gospel.
In this installment, join us as we breakdown a sermon which was shared on Sunday morning September 17th by Rick Gage, an evangelist who is in our area for a Crusade which has been promoted over the last few months.
We believe this sermon/speech to be a clear picture of the methods and tactics we are attempting to caution others about, and we pray that you would prayerfully consider if these practices are grounded in biblical faith in the power of God to save, or if they are grounded in faith which rests upon the power of man to force decisions.
DISCLAIMER:
This is not an attack or an effort against Rick Gage or Go Tell ministries, this is an effort to expose unbiblical practices, methods, and tactics within the Church. There are many who utilize these tactics simply because it is commonplace and we were probably reared in a church culture which revered these methods. Just because someone practices these things does not mean they are not truly a Christian, in fact, it is because we hold many of these individuals as brothers or sisters in the faith that we wish to see repentance and correction so badly. These things are harming the body of Christ, our family, and we wish to see the body of Christ purified by the true power of the Word.
As we have gone through 23 chapters of Genesis, we have seen alot of human interaction, decisions, and responsibility. We have also seen the fullness of God's sovereignty and His steadfast faithfulness at all times.How can considering these truths grant us a greater freedom and joy ad we live our own lives under God's sovereignty?
This third session of our conference focuses on the power of the Gospel for the salvation. Join us as we study the Word and grow in our understanding of Christ our Savior.
This first session of our conference focuses on the responses to the Gospel. Join us as we study the Word and grow in our understanding of Christ our Savior.

Are we trusting God's power to save when we practice many of the popular methods to "lead someone to Christ"?
If we seek to make the Gospel easier, more relevant, or more simplistic, are we exposing the fact that we think we can improve upon God's ordained methods and means?
Join us as we look to the Scriptures and consider the power of the Gospel!
God is God. God is good/faithful. God is sovereign.
Man is the recipient of grace.
Christ will have preeminence in all things.
The birth of Isaac. The preservation of Ishmael. The faithfulness of God. The preeminence of Christ.

As we begin looking at Genesis Chaoter 17, we consider the idea of covenant as well as seeing God's grace, mercy, and sovereignty as He establishes His people.
Little bit of a more laid back approach in this one, but we covered some ground!
View this installment as a bridge between the Scriptural support that we do not need "more" and the future installments diving into the errors of some prominent teachings.
Join us in Colossians 1 as we consider Christ's preeminence in all things .We pray that you will be encouraged, edified, and strengthened in the faith as we consider our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We pray this study from Genesis chapter 16 is an encouragement to you as you grow in the faith.
There is one thing that every believer, without exception, SHOULD pursue more of, and that is to grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Join us as we look at almost every New Testament book to ground us in the realization that Christ truly is all we need, and it is Christ alone which can satisfy us fully.
How do we know God?
How do we "know His heart"?
Do we need more than Scripture and the illuminating work of the Spirit?
Let's dive in and begin to dismantle the deception of "more".
We pray that this brief study into the topic of Christ's finished work and the Covenant of grace will be a great blessing to you as you listen.Thank you for joining us, and may God be glorified in all things.
There is a spreading trend of believers being taught that there is "more" that God has for them, and this "more" typically revolves around an experience with little or no biblical grounding... that's quite the problem!
Does God really have "more" for us?
Do we need more than Christ and His Word?
Join us in our new series, and prayerfully consider how searching for "more":
Leads us away from the Scripture.
Encourages us in unbiblical practice.
Trains us to place our confidence in something other than Christ and His finished work.
Thank you for listening, and may God be glorified in all things!

Let us consider the beautiful simplicity of the Gospel.
All who believe will be saved; our faith is counted to us as righteousness!
So often we may fall into the trap of complicating the Gospel message, even in an attempt to make it easier to grasp. (Spoiler! We can't do anything to improve the Gospel)
May we rejoice that sinners are saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work of redemption.
How can a sinner be counted among the righteous?Only through faith in Christ alone.Abram believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness, and it is no different for us today!

We also make some follow-up comments on the "revival" taking place at Asbury University, PLUS we give our very first prophecy on Christianity Proper!
Join us as we seek God's glory together.
Have you been following the Asbury Revival?
Join us today as we consider the topic of revival, how we ought to exercise discernment, and share a biblical warning.
This is not a statement on the validity or falsehood of what is happening at Asbury. We do see some red flags and concerns, therefore, this episode is a plea to practice discernment as well as a call not to rush to any judgements.
Join us as we continue our study of Genesis.We see Abram's commitment to call upon God and God's perfect faithfulness to His people.
How can a sinner be made right before God?Only through faith in the person and finished work of Jesus Christ alone.
In our day, it is much more common to hear an exciting, emotional, or overly positive message that is closer to a self-help talk than it is a biblical sermon.
So what gives? Why don't we hear more biblical preaching?
1.) Pastors reject the sovereignty of God over the choices of man.
2.) People don't want biblical preaching because they don't love the truth.
Join us as we discuss this very important topic while continuing our "What we need most" series.
What happens when we lack faith, doubt, or implement our plans?Gid is still faithful to accomplish what He intends, and He is sovereign even over our failings and shortcomings .This is no excuse to sin or live however we please, rather, it is reason to rest in God's sovereignty as we make our daily decisions.
We learn from Timothy and Titus why sound doctrine is so important and false doctrine is so dangerous; we also look at a few truths that will keep us on track as we study the Word to grow in our wisdom and understanding.
How common is false teaching?
How many churches are actually pillars of Truth?
Are we actually supposed to call out false teachers?
Join us for this installment of Christianity Proper!

How does the call of Abraham relate to every believer today?How was the Gospel preached to Abraham?How is it that all believers are actually a part of Israel?Join us as we continue our study of Genesis and tie in truths from Joshua 24. Romans 4, and Galatians 3.
Our second installment in our "What We Need Most" series includes a fairly in-depth discussion on why exactly sound doctrine is so important in the life of the believer, his family, and the church.

Catch this first installment of the new series "What We Need Most"!
In this episode we cover the greatest news that has ever graced our world, Christ has come and He has finished His work.
During the first few minutes we take a very streamlined approach which presents the Gospel in just a few statements, and then we finish out the study by "unpacking" each of those statements.
Each and every believer needs to be reminded of the Gospel every day, and every non-believer needs to the good news of Jesus Christ. So, join us as we study! We pray you will edified, equipped, and sanctified by the Word.

Welcome Back !
In this episode we discuss some different topics, but mainly address the problem of rejecting God's sovereignty as it pertains to salvation and church practice.

When it comes to the lack of concern for sound doctrine, church unity, and true biblical wisdom within Christendom, we must ask one simple question:
Is God pleased?
Join us as we dive in to this much needed discussion and plead with all professing believers to consider our sincere call to not only address these topics, but repent and return to the simplicity of submitting to the authority of Scripture alone.
Our existence as believers is due wholly to the grace of God, and one of our chief responsibilities while we live out our days is to proclaim His excellencies to all the earth.
Dive in as Caleb gives insight on the purpose behind Reformation South!
Lots of topics are covered as we attempt to spark some conversation and study among believers.
Is Christ divided?
What is sound doctrine?
Why humility?
We understand that some of the topics addressed may bring disagreement or concern, it is not our desire to "stir the pot", rather, our aim is to bring these topics to the forefront so that the body of believers can actively seek truth as we pursue sound doctrine, church unity, and humble faith together.
