We are living in a brittle age. I have observed, as I am sure you have, that our cultural moment is defined by a pervasive and paralyzing anxiety. It is an age of therapy-speak and trigger warnings, of safe spaces and emotional support animals, where the language of fragility has supplanted the language of fortitude.… Continue reading An Iron Faith for an Age of Anxiety
Thus Saith the Lord: On the Foundation of Holy Scripture (WCF 1.1–1.5)
Every great theological work, like any well-constructed building, must begin with a solid foundation. Before we can speak of God, humanity, sin, or salvation, we must first answer a more fundamental question: How do we know? On what authority do we base our claims about reality, eternity, and the very character of God Himself? The theologians of… Continue reading Thus Saith the Lord: On the Foundation of Holy Scripture (WCF 1.1–1.5)

Epilogue: The Anatomy of a Heresy
We have arrived at the conclusion of this necessary and sober work of polemical theology. Over the course of this series, we have painstakingly dismantled the theological framework promoted by the “Reformed Fringe” podcast.

Final Admonition: Pastoral Consequences and a Call to Faithfulness
We have arrived at the conclusion of this necessary and sober work of polemical theology. Over the course of this series, we have painstakingly dismantled the theological framework promoted by the “Reformed Fringe” podcast. We began by exposing the foundational semantic error of redefining Elohim (Part 1) and traced this to a flawed, anti-confessional hermeneutic (Part 2).… Continue reading Final Admonition: Pastoral Consequences and a Call to Faithfulness
Monotheism Misunderstood
Before we proceed, it is important to address a recent development. Since the initial publication of this series, Jon Moffitt has announced his departure from the “Reformed Fringe” podcast, citing the time commitment required by the project. While we are encouraged by this step, as it appears to be the fruit of heeding wise counsel… Continue reading Monotheism Misunderstood
A Departure from Reformed Orthodoxy
In the preceding articles, we have established a clear pattern of error in the theology of the “Reformed Fringe” podcast. We began by identifying their foundational semantic error in redefining the name Elohim. We then demonstrated how this error stems from a flawed, anti-confessional hermeneutic, which we saw applied with destructive effect in their interpretation of… Continue reading A Departure from Reformed Orthodoxy
A Christological Chimera
It is with a heavy heart, but a necessary resolve, that we arrive at the inevitable and catastrophic destination of the “Reformed Fringe” theological system: a direct assault on the person of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the preceding articles, we have traced the destructive trajectory of this theology, from its foundational semantic… Continue reading A Christological Chimera
A Departure from Patristic Orthodoxy
The proponents of the “Reformed Fringe” theology often present their work as a retrieval project. They claim to be dusting off a more authentic, “Ancient Near Eastern” worldview that they allege has been lost or suppressed by the overly systematized, Hellenized theology of later Christian tradition. They offer their listeners a supposedly richer, more “supernatural”… Continue reading A Departure from Patristic Orthodoxy
Mastering Wealth (Ecclesiastes 5:8–20)
In this eye-opening sermon on Ecclesiastes 5:8-20, Tony Arsenal tackles the challenging relationship between Christians and money. Drawing from the wisdom of “the Preacher,” he explores how wealth—while not inherently evil—can quickly become a destructive master rather than a useful tool. The sermon reveals the futility of chasing wealth for satisfaction, exposes the painful consequences… Continue reading Mastering Wealth (Ecclesiastes 5:8–20)
