Sometimes Reformed theology is characterized as involving abstract ideas about God that have no actual bearing on our day-to-day lives. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. In this seminar, Drs. Sinclair Ferguson, W. Robert Godfrey, and Michael Reeves emphasize the relevance, clarity, and comfort that Reformed theology provides for the Christian life and the life of the church.
Questions:
1. What does it mean when we say Reformed Theology? (0:00)
2. Why would someone think that Reformed Theology isn’t practical? (3:16)
3. How does Reformed Theology help someone struggling with their assurance? (11:06)
4. How does Reformed Theology help with severe and prolonged suffering? (15:50)
5. How does Reformed Theology help us in decision-making? (20:18)
6. Does right doctrine always precede right living? (24:21)
7. What would you say to someone who says, “I don’t need theology, I have Jesus.” (28:52)

As a Reformed person, I find Reformed doctrines to be very practical.

Could you please volume up? All your National Conference clips sounds are so low and hard to listen. God bless your ministry.

I have noticed lately that Alistair Begg is hardly ever at the more recent Ligonier conferences anyone know why? I have always enjoyed his preaching.

It’s clear but the volume is definitely low.

Do you know why pastors do not want you to listen to the audio bible on your e devices? They want to control your inputs and thereby make you dependent. Matthew 23:13

Reformed theology Reformed soteriology (5 points), reformed ecclesiology (Presbyterian/Dutch), reformed sacramentology (baptism and Lord supper as means of grace), reformeds confessions (Westminster, three forms of unity). This is basic reformed theology.

It's so sad reformed Christianity has become so lacking of spiritual life. It seems to have been taken over by individuals overly obsessed with theology at the expense of spiritual living and practical active faith.

Hey man, would you mind telling me more about how Reformed Christians lose spiritual living and practical active faith?

I agree. I’m as reformed as you get, but at a certain point we need to stop talking about the same doctrines. Lets talk about corporate prayer meetings in church. Let’s talk about fasting. Let’s talk about seeking the Lord for His power.
