I see MANY MANY people are confused about my bio so I'll go ahead and explain it here I definitely understand why y'all are hesitant to come to my pew here on X and ask bout me .. he could never know ..🥱 There's no way..🙄 I don't claim him ..😒 If you say some of these .. no worries I don't have anything to say to you other than get to know me ..it's real simple 1. When I say 3FU/WCF/1689 What I mean is these are confessional streams that are rigorous and I enjoy hearing what each has to say. I love these and their people 2. When I say Creedal Urban and Confessional ..I mean Creedal- I came from churches that were cowardly swearing up and down "no Creed but Christ " Growth is a process and I had to unlearn a lot of stuff from Nominally saturated liturgy and discourse When I say Confessional: I also mean what I say..... I'm in a church that's 3FU and have no problem being around 1689rs and WCF Folk... I LOVE both Been at the URC where I'm at 9 months Not only that but I'm actively seeking the knowledge of why each are different.. Urban- is what it is..I've ALWAYS and will forever be urban ..I do not and did not come from money.. I work HARD I keep my hand to my plow and do what's asked ... so I'm not a "creten" "Feral Beast" "Uncivilized Mongrel" as Eric Conn and Brian Suavé would have you or most people assume or believe. I am learning and don't know it all ... don't need to know it all. now my name.. @AferReformata Afer" is Latinized for Black/African - I am American tho yet indeed black..I've NEVER EVER BEEN to Africa/Not From there Itd be weird and sus if I had made the handle "NegraReformata" "Negra" is Black or Dark in Spanish.. "Reformata"... that should be obvious.. Reformed/Reforming I for a reintroduction or Primer to who I am hope this clears up a little bit of suspicion/hesitancy. Ask ..don't assume Phoenix isn't known for dense Calvinistic Reformed Infrastructure theologically It's a Dispensational,Word Faith, Calvary Chapel Wesleyan Haven... For Black Churches there Lots of COGIC Free Will Baptist Institutional Baptist Apostolic Baptist, full Gospel Baptist and missionary Baptist.. not only that but there's tons of Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons in Arizona because we're next to Utah and New Mexico so I can definitely understand the sentiment of this guy saying he's reformed??🤔🙄🙄 nah nah -Mark and avoid until he proves so 🫵 Reformation is coming ! the URC PCA OPC and CRC is working very very hard at it down here

@AdamPage85 Umm for the mantle Voddie has The baton was Passed to Virgil Walker... He had his hand out

Man, losing Voddie Baucham at a time like this was just massive. Not only out of our love for him, but from a place of needing what he stood for with such expertise.

@Christcentric @ObservingPCA Will.. switch to OPC..

@ObservingPCA What in the world is happening to my denomination 😥

Pray March Act held another “No Kings” march and protest in New York City this past weekend. The organization’s executive director is also senior pastor of PCA Redeemer East Harlem, TE Justin Adour.

@WWUTTcom I was listening to Sean McDowell and he brought up receipts that somebody "made up" Peter being crucified upside down and the church just ran with it

Nearly every single list I see like this is wrong. James the brother of John was killed by the sword (Acts 12:2). He’s the one apostle whose martyrdom is actually in the Bible, and it seems these lists can never get that right.

@EddyEkofo Get busy.. you're not even halfway.. that's the Geneva series don't deceive yourself😂😂

Series almost complete.

@edromine Strachan just AS OF EARLY THIS YEAR recently went scorched Earth on his double down of EFS.. Barrett although now Anglican has stood sure in his footing against EFS ERAS and ESS.. times do change..

Much can change in 8 short years!

Is Christian Nationalism a quest for illegitimate religious certainty? @RScottClark

@Nick_Batzig You gotta interview Michael Glodo who wrote "The Lord bless you and keep you" from Crossway

There is a threefold repetition of the Covenant name of God in the Aaronic benediction: "The Lord bless. . .The Lord make. . .The Lord lift up. . ." (Num. 6:22–26). In the fulness of redemptive history that benediction transforms into the benediction of blessings conferred by the triune God: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all" (2 Cor. 13:14). "In each part of this benediction is the sum of all that good that the elect have by the redemption of Christ. This is called ‘the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,’ having respect to the way that we have this good through him, viz. by partaking of the fullness of that our head. He is full of grace, and we partake of his fullness, and grace for grace. The gift is first bestowed on our head, given into his possession as our head; and we partake of the gift or grace in him. “The love of all.” All is of the love of the Father as its first spring, as he is the first mover, and head, and fountain of all in the affair of our redemption. And the gift that is received, that is the great benefit of the Father’s love, that is first given to Christ, and is his fullness, and that we receive from him, or receiving his grace, is the Holy Spirit. We receive it by having a communion or participation of the Holy Ghost.” – Jonathan Edwards

@Joshua_M_Hump 😂😂

One of my favorites 😂😂🤣🤣

Today is a GREAT DAY to reject "Let Go Let God"... IT🫰🏾 IS 🫰🏾NOT🫰🏾 BIBLICAL you do NOT coast through Sanctification Sanctification is LIFELONG, Not ENTIRE AND NOT INSTANT read the books no quick fix And Let Go Let God by Andrew Naselli they both explain each other...

Last night I Purchased @RScottClark's recovering the reformed confession Can't wait to dive in when it arrives ! Thank you @RHB_Books 👊🏾🥳 !

@Logos there's not one reason this Book or it's updated and expanded format shouldnt be in the ecosystem not only that but it DOESN'T need to have interest lobbied to it to be put in..

@JeffreyPerry09 @nocoradio That's what I said 😂😂😂 I said if you're not hedonistic enough your toast

@nocoradio Sibbes: Christ won’t break you. Piper: but are you enjoying Him enough?

Which Pastor would you want to visit you - if you were on your death bed?

@drantbradley I live in Phoenix, those numbers in Phoenix are moving Targets yet mostly accurate

These are cities that are also building more housing. Anyone who’s been to Austin, Denver, etc. recently knows what I’m talking about.

@TigersPastorP @yesiwetmyplants By no means

@yesiwetmyplants So, should I sin that grace may abound?

Sin doesn’t destroy grace, it makes grace abound even more

For those of you returning to work,who have your "Monday" starting tomorrow and you gotta through the rest of the week.. just know that your identity is in Christ and not in your work or your job title. #encouragement

Don't put your Pastor on a pedestal where he can be knocked off. Put your Pastor on a Prayer List where he can be lifted up.

#HeidelbergCatechism Lord's Day 7:

Faith necessarily empties us of self-sufficiency because it is the hand that receives all from God through Christ by the spirit living by faith in Christ is a constant reminder to abandon that cursed self-sufficiency that we all possess by nature -Mark Jones "the pilgrim's regress"
