Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

In his presentation, Mr. Anthony J. Uvenio addresses the issue of abortion, emphasizing that over 1 million abortions occur annually in America, which he equates to murder. He argues that abortion is the unjust taking of an innocent human life, often for reasons such as inconvenience, financial constraints, shame, or age. From a Christian perspective, he asserts that abortion violates God's law, denies the humanity of the unborn, and harms women and society. Citing Exodus 20:13, he underscores that Christians oppose murder in any form.Anthony explains that pregnant women are already mothers, and terminating a pregnancy is akin to giving an innocent human the death penalty. He introduces the SLED argument, stating that size, level of development, environment, and degree of dependency do not justify abortion. He asserts that life begins at conception, with a zygote being a complete human with unique DNA. By the third week, the heart beats, and by eight weeks, major organs form, deserving protection like newborns.He highlights the emotional and psychological effects of abortion on women, including increased risks of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, as well as feelings of guilt, distress, and regret. Anthony advocates for adoption as an alternative to abortion, emphasizing the destruction of the mother-child bond through abortion. He concludes by urging Christians to defend the unborn, created in God's image with a purpose, and to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, referencing Proverbs 31:8. If there is any doubt about the humanity of the unborn, he advises against abortion, equating certainty with murder.#prolifemovement #abortiondebate #defendtheunborn #lifebeginsatconception #endabortion #chooselife #WomenDeserveBetter #speakforthevoiceless #christianvalues #protecttheinnocent #prolifeeducation Podcast: www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!

Ephesians 1:3: Blessed and Blessed, Heaven vs. Heavenlies 54:10

5 days ago54:10

54:10

Unpacking Ephesians 1:3: A Deep Dive into Spiritual BlessingsEphesians 1:3 – "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places." This seemingly simple verse holds a wealth of theological richness, as explored in a recent Reformed Rookie Podcast discussion. This blog post unpacks the key themes and insights from that engaging conversation.The Methodology: A Perfect Bible Study**The podcast began with a practical approach to Bible study, using a method outlined in a handout titled "Perfect Bible Study" (P-method). This involved:Perusing: A quick overview of the passage.Prayerful Reading: Engaging with the text in prayer, seeking God's guidance.Pointing Out/Probing: Identifying key words and phrases.Asking Questions: Formulating questions to deepen understanding.This framework guided the discussion of Ephesians 1:1-14, focusing particularly on verse 3.Delving into "Blessed Be the God...The discussion immediately tackled crucial questions:What are the "heavenly places"?** This led to a fascinating exploration of the distinction between "heaven" (God's dwelling place) and "heavenlies" (*aporanos* in Greek), a term unique to Ephesians. The "heavenlies" represent a present spiritual realm, a dimension overlapping with earth, where spiritual battles are waged. It's not the ultimate heaven, but a broader spiritual domain where God's power and influence are active. This contrasts with the future, ultimate heaven, a place devoid of darkness and sin.What are spiritual blessings? The discussion unpacked the meaning of "blessed" differentiating its application to God (inherent worthiness of praise) and humans (favorably acted upon by God). Spiritual blessings were identified as benefits, often supernatural, including: Adoption as sons: Predestined to become God's children. Redemption through blood: Purchased back from sin's dominion. Forgiveness of sins: Received through God's undeserved grace. Sealing with the Holy Spirit: Confirmed as heirs of God's promises.The parallel passage in 1 Peter 1:3 further reinforced the concept of blessings and inheritance."In Christ": The Heart of the MatterThe phrase "in Christ" proved central to understanding the blessings. It signifies a covenantal and spiritual union, a marital union even, resulting in: A new identity: Becoming a child of God. Changed priorities: Aligning one's life with God's purposes. Eternal life as destiny: Knowing God intimately.This union is not merely individual but corporate, challenging the American emphasis on individualism. Fellowship with other believers is essential for experiencing the fullness of this union.Spiritual Warfare and the "Already/Not Yet" RealityThe discussion highlighted the reality of spiritual warfare, emphasizing that believers are seated with Christ in the heavenly places, empowered to overcome evil forces. However, this victory is not yet fully realized; we live in an "already/not yet" reality, experiencing the blessings of salvation now while anticipating the fullness of God's kingdom in the future.Podcast: www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!Podcast: www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!…

The discussion centers on the crucial importance of elders holding firm to the trustworthy Word of God (πιστις - *pistis*), emphasizing not just intellectual understanding but also practical application in their lives and ministry. Elders must be characterized by sound doctrine, accurately teaching and applying Scripture, rebuking false teachings and promoting biblical truth.

The episode concludes with a discussion on the importance of orthopraxy alongside orthodoxy, and the need for elders to model a life of faith, reflecting God's character and actively combating heresy. A specific example of a false teacher's actions within a conference is used to illustrate the importance of confronting false teaching.

What God Says About Evolution 47:44

47:44

Challenging Evolutionary Theory: A Biblical PerspectiveThe recent Reformed Rookie podcast tackled the contentious issue of evolution vs. creation, presenting a compelling case for a literal interpretation of Genesis. The discussion highlighted several key arguments against macroevolution, emphasizing the limitations of current evolutionary theory and the overwhelming evidence supporting special creation.Key takeaways from the podcast include:The inadequacy of the evolutionary model: The podcast systematically dismantles the "goo to you via the zoo" narrative, citing the lack of observable, repeatable evidence for macroevolution (large-scale changes leading to new kinds of organisms). The scientific method itself is questioned in its application to this theory.Irreducible complexity: The podcast uses the analogy of a bicycle to illustrate irreducible complexity – a system where removing a single part renders the whole system non-functional. This concept is applied to the complexity of the cell and the human body, posing a significant challenge to the gradual evolution of such intricate systems.Genetic limits: Breeding experiments demonstrate that while microevolution (small-scale changes within a kind) occurs, it's limited. No new genetic information is added; existing information is merely rearranged or lost.The fossil record: The podcast exposes several evolutionary hoaxes and highlights the scarcity of transitional forms in the fossil record, contradicting the predictions of Darwinian evolution. The discussion also touches upon the questionable interpretations of existing fossil evidence.The philosophical implications: The podcast delves into the philosophical underpinnings of evolutionary theory, questioning its materialistic presuppositions and their impact on our understanding of morality, logic, and purpose.The podcast also introduces the "MILC" acronym (Macroevolution, Irreducible Complexity, Genetic Limits, Cyclical Change) as a helpful tool for engaging in discussions about evolution. It encourages critical thinking and a reliance on God's word as the ultimate source of truth.This podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in a thoughtful and well-researched exploration of this crucial topic. Let's engage in a respectful discussion – what are your thoughts on the arguments presented? #evolution #creation #science #faith #christianity #podcast #genesis #biology #philosophy #creationism #evolutiondebate #intelligentdesign #GodVsEvolution #scientificevidence #biblicalcreation #Macroevolution #darwinism Podcast: www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!…

Titus 1:6 Appoint Elders 44:13

The Biblical Blueprint for Church Leadership: Examining Titus and the Qualifications of EldersThis study delves into a discussion on church leadership, drawing heavily from the biblical text of Titus, and exploring the crucial qualifications for elders within a church structure. The conversation touches upon ecclesiology, the doctrine of the church, and challenges contemporary approaches to church governance.The Task of Titus and the Importance of Order (00:00:00-00:05:00)The discussion begins with Titus 1:4, emphasizing the blessing and task of ministry. Paul entrusted the gospel to Titus, with the ultimate goal of God's people following God's plan in peace (Ephesians 2:11). Titus's specific task in Crete was to appoint elders (Titus 1:5-9), establishing order within the church. The selection of qualified male elders is paramount to this structure.Defining "Elder" and "Overseer": Understanding the Roles The terms "presbyteros" (elder) and "episkopos" (overseer/bishop) are explored. The podcast clarifies that these terms are synonymous in the New Testament, referring to the same church official. The discussion contrasts this with the concept of a priestly class, emphasizing the "priesthood of believers" where each believer has direct access to God through prayer. Jesus, as prophet, priest, and king, acts as the ultimate mediator.Church Officers: Elders and DeaconsThe study establishes that the New Testament outlines two ordained offices: elders (responsible for spiritual needs) and deacons (responsible for physical needs). The roles of deacons are clarified using examples from Acts and 1 Timothy, while the role of elders is further examined in 1 Timothy and Titus. The term "elder" signifies spiritual maturity and shepherding ministry, a concept reflected in the term "Presbyterian." Qualifications of Elders: Character Above All Else The study meticulously details the qualifications of elders as outlined in Titus 1:6 and elsewhere. These qualifications are not merely about doctrinal knowledge, but primarily about character. An elder must be above reproach, a husband of one wife, leading a godly family, self-controlled, hospitable, and loving good. The importance of a well-governed family is stressed, as an elder's ability to lead his household reflects his capacity to lead the church. The concept of "above reproach" is defined as blameless and without blemishes on one's record. The discussion also touches upon the role of elders in correcting and protecting the flock, using examples of difficult decisions that were ultimately vindicated.The Dangers of Compromising Biblical Standards The study expresses concern over lowered standards for church leadership, citing examples of unqualified individuals being appointed despite recommendations to the contrary. The dangers of prioritizing popularity over qualifications and the pitfalls of the "seeker-sensitive" church model are highlighted. The Role of the Congregation and the Appointment of EldersThe discussion clarifies the process of appointing elders. While the congregation votes, the ultimate appointment is not explicitly biblical; rather, it's a process of discernment and accountability. The importance of knowing church members intimately is stressed, emphasizing the role of the church family in prayer and discernment. The dangers of importing pastors without proper vetting are also highlighted.Podcast: www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!…

This sermon centers on Philippians 2:1-11, exploring the concept of *kenosis* and its implications for Christian humility. Pastor Anthony Uvenio refutes misinterpretations of *kenosis* that lead to self-exaltation and the pursuit of unearned status, contrasting Jesus's radical humility and sacrifice with humanity's tendency to usurp God's glory, as exemplified by Xavier Alvarez's false claim to the Congressional Medal of Honor. The sermon emphasizes the importance of understanding the Trinity and God's nature as love preceding power, highlighting the contrast between Adam and Eve's grasping for godliness and Christ's willing self-emptying. Pastor Anthony connects Jesus's nakedness on the cross to Adam and Eve's shame, portraying it as a reversal of the fall and a remedy for humanity's sin. The sermon concludes with a call to humility, urging listeners to prioritize serving others and to emulate Jesus's sacrifice, ultimately finding victory through humility and love for the Savior. #philippians2 #humility #kenosis #goodfriday #jesuschrist #christianity #theology #reformedtheology #grace #sacrifice Podcast: www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!…

This sermon centers on Philippians 2:1-11, exploring the radical humility of Jesus Christ as the antithesis of humanity's inherent self-seeking nature. Pastor Anthony Uvenio contrasts Jesus's voluntary "emptying" (kenosis) – not a divestment of deity, but a self-limiting act of love – with examples of human pride, such as Xavier Alvarez's false claim to the Congressional Medal of Honor and the narratives of the Garden of Eden and the Tower of Babel. The sermon emphasizes the crucial distinction between the "grasping" for power (lust) seen in humanity's fall and God's self-giving love (agape), arguing that the Trinity is necessary for a God whose nature is fundamentally love, not power. Good Friday is presented not as a tragedy but as a triumph, highlighting Jesus's voluntary humiliation and sacrifice as the ultimate act of humility, contrasting sharply with humanity's attempts to seize glory. The sermon concludes with a call to embrace humility and surrender to Christ for salvation.#philippians2 #goodfriday #humility #kenosis #jesuschrist #triunegod #servantleadership #theology #christianliving #spiritualgrowth 00:00:00 - Philippians, Humility, and Valor04:02 - Misinterpreting Jesus' Humility07:54 - Jesus' Humility & Divinity11:39:56 - Jesus' Mindset & The Fall15:04 - Humility vs. Pride18:52 - Jesus, Love, and Trinity22:28 - Christ's Sacrifice on the Cross43:10 - Jesus' Nakedness: Reversal00:30:00 - Good Friday Paradox00:34:04 - Unconditional Surrender Podcast: www.ReformedRookie.com Podcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookie Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologist Semper Reformanda!…

This study delves into Titus 1-4, focusing on Paul's instructions to Titus regarding establishing church order in Crete. The discussion highlights the qualifications of elders (Titus 1:5-9), the need to combat false teachers and maintain sound doctrine, and the importance of adhering to God's established order within the church. Pastor Anthony described the historical context of Crete, including Paul's visit and the potential origins of a Cretan proverb about lying. A significant portion of the discussion centers on the importance of a plurality of elders, contrasting this with potentially harmful hierarchical structures or the influence of "celebrity pastors." The episode emphasizes the interconnectedness of life and doctrine, the dangers of unchecked power, and the necessity of elders to lead, feed, correct, and protect the flock.

Pastor Chris connected this to the abortiondebate, arguing that inaction in the face of such injustice constitutescomplicity. This wasn't just aboutactive participation in violence; it included the sin of omission – neglectingthe needs of others, turning a blind eye to suffering. The study referenced Exodus 22:26,emphasizing the responsibility to care for our neighbors, even to the point ofpreventing their death through neglect. PastorChris added that harboring hatred is a form of neglect, a turning away fromour responsibility to love our neighbor. The discussion extended to the concept of"murder in the heart" (Matthew 5:21-22, John 3:15), highlighting thatunjustified anger and hatred are tantamount to murder. Unresolved conflict renders worship unrighteous,emphasizing the need for reconciliation and peacemaking.

This bible study delves into the theological significance of addressing God as "Father," particularly as presented in Titus 1:3-4 and throughout scripture. Pastor Anthony Uvenio explores the interchangeable use of "God" and "Savior" for both God the Father and Jesus Christ in the New Testament, referencing Old Testament passages where God is identified as Savior (Isaiah 44-45, 60; Hosea). The revolutionary nature of Jesus's use of "Father" is highlighted, contrasting the familial relationship it implies with the previous master-slave dynamic. Pastor Anthony emphasizes that this relationship is accessible through faith in Jesus Christ, the "last Adam," who re-established the Father-Son relationship broken by Adam's sin. This new covenant offers salvation by grace, not works, and extends to all people, not just the Jews. The study concludes by urging listeners to reflect on their relationship with God as Father, emphasizing the importance of humility, unity within the church, and actively sharing God's love and message with the world.00:08:24 - Paul's Damascus Road Experience03:52 - God & Jesus as Savior07:24 - God as Savior: Trinity11:18:15 - God as Father: Jesus14:35 - Redefining Our Relationship18:20 - God's Children: Grace22:10 - Jesus: New Covenant25:19 - Gentiles, Israel, & God28:34 - God's Love & Fatherhood33:35 - God as Father: New Covenant#titusstudy #godthefather #jesuschrist #salvation #newcovenant #oldtestament #triunegod #SpiritualGenealogy #faith #christianity…
