The Young, Restless and Reformed movement seems to have been made possible through the online publishing of reformed pastors and authors. Online ministries (like ours) create community and can be a great help to your Christian walk... but what are the ways this is detrimental? Celebrity pastors, online sermons and podcasts can NEVER replace your local church. Jacob Mentzel, of Warhorn Media, comes on to discuss why... Have you seen the new website?

As we try to engage the culture with a biblical worldview we will get pushback. Interestingly Jesus warned that we should be wary when all men speak well of us... so how do we know if pushback is legitimate criticism we should be corrected by or the kind of animosity Jesus experienced in response to his radical ministry? This week the Rebels respond to a couple specific interactions and pushback that we have received over recent episodes. Have you seen the new website?

Some big news items kick off today's show and then we delve into a much needed topic. The division and contention we see coming out as a result of the political and ideological culture war at hand only amplifies a Christians need to cultivate the spiritual fruit of self-control. If we are ever going to effectively engage the culture with a biblical worldview we need the spirit to produce the self-control to maintain Christ-like in our interactions.

Today we are joined by Pastor Jacob Reaume from Trinity Bible Chapel in Cambridge Ontario. It was good to connect with a like-minded brother fighting alongside us here in Southwestern Ontario. In our crosshairs on this episode is Bruxy Cavey, the teaching pastor of one of the largest and most influential churches in Canada: The Meeting House. Jacob has blogged extensively here: https://trinitybiblechapel.ca/bruxy-cavey-false-teacher/ on the dangerous teaching of Bruxy Cavey. Today he joins the rebels to talk about why it's important to call out false teaching even in a cultural climate that would call doing so 'intolerant'. Follow Jacob's ministry at trinitybiblechapel.ca , follow the rebels at rebelalliancemedia.com and https://www.facebook.com/Rebel.Alliance.Podcast/

There is a lot to talk about today! The recent Ontario election and Christian standards for voting, the Christian & Missionary Alliance 2018 General Assembly and the blasphemy laws everyone upholds. Is emotion really a good standard of justice? Why does unity trump truth? We live in a dark world and the Rebels try to help you make sense of it.

Our 50th episode snuck up on us! Today we discuss the strange doctrine that snuck into the church 150 years ago... you know the one: that Jesus is going to "rapture" his people before things get really bad down here on earth. The Rebels debunk that Christian myth and discuss not only why it's such a dangerous doctrine, but why we really WANT to be the one's LEFT BEHIND. For further study check out Gary DeMar's book End Times Madness and then just for fun check out Edgar C. Whisenants book "88 Reasons the Rapture will be in 1988"

In "Rebel News" we discuss the train wreck that was the Golden Globes, including the hypocrisy of Hollywood and Oprah's pitch for subjective truth and a 2020 presidential run! In our topic we tackle the topic of (partial) preterism, that is, the view of biblical prophecy as being fulfilled in the future of the writers but the past of us as 21st century readers. Matthew 24, Revelation, Daniel... these are prophetic texts that actually don't speak of our future but of the future of the original audience... and there are a lot of practical lessons we can learn when we interpret the bible this way. For further study try "Last Days According to Jesus" by RC Sproul, "Before Jerusalem Fell" by Kenneth Gentry, "Is Jesus Coming Soon?" by Gary DeMar

In today's episode the Rebels talk about The Truth Apocalypse. Isaiah 5 says "woe to those who call evil good and good evil" -- that's certainly the world we seem to be living in. As we examine several cultural issues around us in light of this verse we try to remind ourselves and other Christians why clinging to the truth is so important!

Join us as we discuss 2017, including top books read, top theological and cultural issues, what we hope 2018 has in store and where Rebel Alliance plans to go from here!
