When the term Reformed theology is used, it often refers to something less historical. Often it refers to a theology that acknowledges the doctrine of predestination and holds to a high view of the Bible as God’s inerrant Word.

This is a Spotlight on the Scriptures: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Saints! Paul wasn’t writing to pagans—he was writing to believers in Rome. Folk who had already been saved, but still needed to be sanctified. And here’s the truth: just because you’re saved don’t mean you can’t still choose sin. But hear me—when you do, you’re clocking in for the wrong master. And...

Biblical Talks Encouraging Word for the Week, I am Rachel Tolliver, “John MacArthur said it right—we’ve got to fight daily.

Because holiness ain’t automatic—it’s a battle!” “And Paul, that apostolic preacher, laid it down in Ephesians 5: ‘Be imitators of God, as beloved children. Walk in love, just like Christ l...

Dec 29, 2025Send us a text
Biblical Talks Encouraging Word for the Week, I am Rachel Tolliver, In the book of Lamentations, Jeremiah has faced a lot of hardship, and his health is suffering because he's so worried about Jerusalem. He wasn't indifferent to the nation's destruction; instead of saying, "I told you so," he was heartbroken. Jeremiah's reaction shows us how God feels. God isn't distant; He stays with His people. Jesus said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). No matter what you're going through, you can be sure He is there with...

This is a spotlight on the Scriptures Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
