Saints Edified

Saints, we are back! I apologize for the delay, but I plan to upload more consistently. Here is a segment of a longer interview I had with Daryl King. I had the opportunity to share my testimony and some background on the Saints Edified ministry. I hope you all enjoy!

PS: I hope you guys noticed my mic quality. ;) Look forward to some quality content moving forward!

Show Notes:

Dying to the Flesh is a segment of Saints Edified that focuses on encouraging and teaching Christians to exercise godliness, along with the exercising of the mind and body to compliment our spiritual disciplines.

I had the privilege to start this new segment of the ministry with our brother, Dawain Atkinson!

Here are the links that we discussion in this episode: 

This episode is about how theology leads to doxology - #doxologymatters! These are segments from my Theological Discussion LIVE episodes! My goal is to spend some time with my guests on how a particular theological topic can lead to doxology. Enjoy!

This episode is about how Reformed Theology meets Urban Culture. This could also be a special edition to Redeemed Project Radio (RPR), since all these are interviews/discussions were hosted on the RPR YouTube page! 

This episode is about Christian character in ministry. I had the privilege of interviewing three faithful men who have demonstrated Christian conduct and character in midst of heavy discussions and situations. These are selected clips from my discussions/interviews with Eli Ayala, Rev. Randy Martin and Rev. Joel Ellis.

Special episode today! I interviewed Pastor Joel Ellis on our Saints Edified Youtube channel and he agreed to help me with part 5 of the Scripture is series! 

Shownotes will be updated soon! For now, check out the links below.

In this episode, we cover General and Special Revelation. 

Westminster Confession of Faith Ch. 1, Sect. 1

Although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence, do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men inexcusable;a yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God, and of his will, which is necessary unto salvation;b therefore it pleased the Lord, at sundry times, and in divers manners, to reveal himself, and to declare his will unto his Church;c and afterwards, for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the Church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan and of the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing;d which maketh the holy Scripture to be most necessary;e those former ways of God’s revealing his will unto his people being now ceased.

General Revelation

Light of Nature - We are made in the image of God and therefore have a sense of the divine. The fact we are moral,rational creatures with dignity and value shows us, being image bearers of God, that God is true in the simplest way. It’s foolish to reject God when such evidence is within our very being, as image bearers of God

The Works of Creation and Providence - The natural world and everything about it demonstrates a Creator, and not just any creator, but a Sustainer of all things that provides all things. God created sun, moon, stars, animals and nature which all reflect him as Creator, Sustainer and Provider.

Special Revelation

Scripture - Scripture contains the will of God and knowledge of salvation for the church. There’s really no better way to explain this special revelation than pointing to Scripture itself: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God[b] may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

“...those former ways of God’s revealing his will unto his people being now ceased.”

I argued that the prophets and apostles were on the same "level" in that the church recognized their role for the being God's mouthpiece through Scripture for the church. I used Ephesians 2:19-20 to make this point. I also make the argument that the Apostle Paul was the last apostle - no more came after him. Why is this important? To put it simply, God used the prophets and apostle to communicate his word through Scripture. No one outside of that "prophet and apostle" category hears from God the way these authors did. Hebrews 1:1-2 confirms this.

In this episode, I introduce the series we will be covering called “Scripture is…”

In this Polemical Edition episode, I have special guest and CHH veteran, Ricky Roldan (Reformed Ordinance) from the Urban Reformed Podcast, to discuss Flame's "Extra Nos" album, Lutheranism and Biblical Assurance.   

This is the final part of a 3-part discussion with Ben and Amaris.

This is part 2 of a 3-part discussion I had with my friends, Ben and Amaris Salazar.

In this part of the discussion, we get a little more technical and somewhat political. Ben shares his thoughts on incrementalism vs. immediatism in light of abolishing abortion. 

This is a 3-part discussion with my friends, Ben and Amaris Salazar. They have been fighting against abortion for years! In fact, Amaris started early in elementary school. For this discussion, I asked question that mainly covered biblical and practical ways to combat abortion street level, but we also touched on governing laws and methods to move this fight in the right direction.

This is the final part of a 3-part discussion with a friend and pro-life advocate, Nick Diercks!

Nick helps lead the pro-life ministry, Arks of Bulrushes in Bakersfield, Ca. On our last part of the discussion, Nick answers and refutes bodily autonomy and speaks on S.L.E.D.

This is part 2 of 3 of a discussion with a friend and pro-life advocate, Nick Diercks!

Nick helps lead the pro-life ministry, Arks of Bulrushes in Bakersfield, Ca.  In this episode, we cover the importance of a gospel approach to pro-life ministry and answer some pro-abortion arguments.

This is part 1 of 3 of a discussion with a friend and pro-life advocate, Nick Diercks.

Nick helps lead the pro-life ministry, Arks of Bulrushes in Bakersfield, Ca. In this episode, I wanted the listeners to get to know Nick a little bit. We discuss how the Lord saved him, his background in Biology helps in this fight against abortion and his struggle with other pro-life ministries who want to leave out sin and the gospel in their message. He gives excellent advice and resources to prepare for pro-life ministry!

This is part 3 of a 3-part discussion with my pastor, Rev. Randy Martin.

In 2010, Randy Martin debated a well-known atheist activist and Constitutional lawyer, Eddie Tabash. We discuss the debate and much more in this discussion! In this particular episode, we conclude our discussion with Randy speaking on the significance of morality when debating worldviews and God's existence. We also discuss his cross-examination answers, mainly his reference to freewill.

We revisited James 2 to clarify a few things, especially since the Federal Vision debate seems to be a thing again on social media. Although our clarification does not directly relate to Oneness Pentecostalism, it is important nonetheless.

For our first video episode of the Polemical Edition, we have a special guest: Jamal Bandy from Prescribed Truth!

We have reached the end of our series, now it's time to go preach!
