Biblical Talks with Elder Michael Tolliver Podcast
When the term Reformed theology is used, it often refers to something less historical. Often it refers to a theology that acknowledges the doctrine of predestination and holds to a high view of the Bible as God’s inerrant Word. Sometimes it is also identified with the so-called five points of Calvinism: total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and the perseverance of the saints. These are all important teachings of the Reformed tradition, but they do not fully encapsulate or describe Reformed theology.
A better starting place is five statements that have been called the five solas of the Reformation. These five solas (sola is the Latin word for “only” or “alone”) are sola Scriptura (Scripture alone), sola fide (faith alone), sola gratia (grace alone), solus Christus (Christ alone), and soli Deo gloria (God’s glory alone). Put together, these solas clearly express the central concerns of the Protestant Reformation, which was about worship and authority within the church as much as it was about individual salvation. The “alone” in each is vital, and they emphasize the sufficiency of God’s Word and the gracious nature of salvation, received by faith alone, in Christ alone. The last of the five solas, soli Deo gloria, is the natural outworking of the first four. It reminds us that Reformed theology understands all of life in terms of the glory of God. To be Reformed in our thinking is to be God-centered. Salvation is from the Lord from beginning to end, and even our existence is a gift from Him.

A Spotlight on the Scriptures: Proverbs 31:10: Seek the Woman Whose Faith Shapes Everyday Life
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is a Spotlight on the Scriptures: Proverbs 31:10 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
Brothers, hear me. You can marry beauty. You can marry money. But don’t be fooled—many a man has chased elegance and ended up with emptiness. Because what glitters on the outside might be hollow on the inside. So, if God sends you a woman with wisdom in her mouth, holiness in her walk, and heaven in her heart—hold on to her. Don’t let her go.
A virtuous woman? She’s not just fine—she’s faithful. She’s not just stylish—she’s spiritual. She knows how to reach up to glory and bring it down to grind. She grabs heaven and applies it to earth until everybody under her influence starts living better, loving deeper, and walking straighter.
