December 9, 2025 - Psalm 19 "The Sufficiency of Special Revelation" by Quentin Whitford
God wants us to receive both His general and special revelation. I. GOD'S GENERAL REVELATION II. GOD'S SPECIAL REVELATION
In this episode, Dr. Anderson and I dive into the differences between general and special revelation, and we take an honest look at the problem of cognitive dissonance in today's church. We talk about why Christians need to worship God with their minds, not just their emotions, and what that actually looks like in real life.Check out Dr. Owen Andersonhttps://search.asu.edu/profile/843137https://drowenanderson.comhttps://ctkaz.org
How should we respond when someone claims that God has spoken to them directly? Today, Joel Kim considers the nature of special revelation and how Christians can test such claims against God's Word.

Scripture Alone Is Special Revelation
Scripture Alone Is Special Revelation
This is the fourth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. How can we know the God we seek to defend? In this lesson, we explore the doctrine of revelation—God's gracious self-disclosure to humanity. You will learn the crucial distinction between general revelation, seen in creation and providence, and special revelation, given through Scripture and ultimately in Jesus Christ. This lesson lays a foundation for understanding why divine revelation is necessary for knowledge, faith, and apologetics. By examining how revelation reveals God's character, will, and redemptive purposes, you will be equipped to uphold the authority of Scripture and the sufficiency of Christ in the face of skepticism and competing truth claims. 01:52 General Revelation 08:50 Special Revelation 21:51 Attributes of Revelation 29:16 The Relationship between General and Special Revelation 31:14 Jesus Christ 33:26 Summary and Conclusion Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

How has our Lord revealed His message in our world? Through nature and His Word! Join us as we look at Psalm 19 and begin to scratch the surface of all the ways that God has revealed His message to us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. The podcast mentioned two terms that theologians use to describe “revelation”. What is “General Revelation”? How do we see it described in Psalm 19? 2. According to verse 1, what do the heavens “tell” and “declare”? In your opinion, what are some ways that they do this? 3. According to verse 2, what pours forth every day and night? What are some ways that we see this reality lived out in our world? 4. Verses 3 & 4 teach about the speech going out into the world. What is this speech? What are some place where we find information from God in nature? 5. Why is the daily path of the Sun so amazing? What would happen if we were just a few thousand miles closer or further from the sun? What does this show us about God's love for our planet? 6. The podcast explained that verses 7-14 speak about what theologians call “Special Revelation”. What is Special Revelation? How is it different from General Revelation? 7. What are some of the benefits of God's Word in verses 7 & 8? What are some ways that a person might experience God's Word in this way? If they are not experiencing these promises from God's Word, what would you advise them to do? 8. In verse 10, how does David cherish God's Word? What do you think led him to have this view? How does this reflect your own view of God's Word? 9. Why does David end this psalm talking about his errors and faults? How does God make these realities clearer in our lives? What are we to do when God shows us a place in our life that is out of conformity to His Word? 10. How does God's Word purity our words and thoughts? Is there any place in your own life that needs further transformation to be pleasing to God? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot and Pastor Nate Wright respond to the criticisms raised by Andrew Isker and CJay Engel from the Contra Mundum podcast. They engage in an in-depth discussion about the significance of possessing a biblical worldview, addressing misconceptions and providing thorough explanations on topics such as theology, philosophy, epistemology, and mathematics. Dr. Boot underscores that a biblical worldview is grounded in the full revelation of Scripture, which serves as the ultimate authority for all aspects of life, including politics, science, and economics. Additionally, the duo explores the underlying motivations and flawed reasoning behind some of the arguments presented by Isker, Engel, Wolfe, and the reactionary "dank" right, aiming to reinforce the importance of a biblically rooted perspective in all areas of culture and knowledge.

In this episode, we seek to show how as beautiful as general revelation truly is, it was never going to be enough. We needed God to specially reveal himself, and now that he has revealed himself primarily in Christ, we look to Christ and his word to define all things for us in thought and life.ResourcesThe Wonderful Works of God By Herman BavinckQuotes“When therefore, we review the whole terrain of general revelation, we discover, on the one hand, that it has been of great value and that it has borne rich fruits, and, on the other hand, that mankind has not found God by its light.”“In general revelation such objective teaching is adequate to its purpose. What God intends by it is to provoke man to seek Him, to feel Him out and find Him (Acts 17:27), and, not finding Him, yet be without excuse (Romans 1:20). But in His special revelation God has compassion upon man who strays about and cannot find Him. In it, God seeks man out and Himself tells man who and what He is.” p50“The central content of the special revelation is the person and work of Christ.” p50“Thus the whole revelation of the Old Testament converges upon Christ, not upon a new law, or doctrine, or institution, but upon the person of Christ. A person is the completed revelation of God.” p77274 - The Beauty of General RevelationConnect With Usprovidenceomaha.orgInstagramFacebookEmail Usformation@providenceomaha.org
In this episode we seek to define and display the beauty of general revelation. The hope is that this episode would help us understand what general revelation means, see God's grand design in his creation, and recognize God's kindness in revealing himself to us.ResourcesVersesRomans 1:18-23Psalm 19Acts 17:22-31Romans 1:18-23PodcastsThe Knowing God PodcastFurther ReadingWhat is general revelation and special revelation?What Is General Revelation?"Divine Revelation: God Making Himself Known"Quotes“As a matter of fact, all of the works of God, whether of word or deed, are constituent parts and elements of the one, great, comprehensive, and always continuing revelation of God.” - Bavinck“Revelation, therefore, cannot have its final purpose in man; in part it passes him by and soars on beyond him.” - Bavinck“In the general revelation God makes use of the usual run of phenomena and the usual course of events; in the special revelation He often employs unusual means, appearances, prophecy, and miracles to make himself known to man.”“When therefore, we review the whole terrain of general revelation, we discover, on the one hand, that it has been of great value and that it has borne rich fruits, and, on the other hand, that mankind has not found God by its light.” - BavinckConnect With Usprovidenceomaha.orgInstagramFacebookEmail Usformation@providenceomaha.org
What are the different ways God speaks and reveals truth to us? How does the Bible's revelation differ from God revealing himself in nature? Mitch & Craig explore what is unique about biblical revelation and its implications for living our lives.
Welcome to another Classical Essentials, a special Best of Basecamp Live series! Over the years, we've had incredible conversations unpacking the foundational ideas of classical Christian education. In this series, we're bringing back some of the most popular and essential episodes to help parents, educators, and school leaders better understand the core principles that make this movement so impactful.Why should Christian students read pagan books? Wouldn't it be safer to stick to Christian authors? Shouldn't we only fill our children's minds with explicitly biblical works? These are common concerns among parents and educators, and in this episode, Dr. Louis Markos offers a compelling answer.Many of history's greatest books—from Homer to Plato to Virgil—were written by pre-Christian authors. Yet, these works wrestle with profound questions about virtue, truth, and human nature—questions that ultimately point to Christ. Rather than being a threat to faith, these books can deepen a student's understanding of God's truth and equip them to engage thoughtfully with today's secular world.
What is the Bible? Why these 66 books? Is it true? Nate answers all these questions and more about God's special revelation to us.

But the Reformed tradition looks to one source for Special Revelation; Sola Scriptura. Listen as Pastor Matt explains and defends this Scriptural doctrine from the pages of Scripture itself.

Good news! He has! And He has done so to all men, in all places, at all times (Rom. 1:18-20). But that knowledge is only enough to condemn a man, not save Him. Listen as Pastor Matt explains the difference between General and Special Revelation, where Special Revelation finds its ultimate expression, and the Christian's duty in light of these truths.

This week Daniel Ray concludes his discussion with Malcolm Yarnell about his latest book, God: Theology for Every Person. Why should we fully embrace theology?

Special Revelation.This is, as it is called, Special. Not everyone has the opportunity to receive this revelation from God. This Special Revelation shows God's plan of redemption. This is God's incarnation, the cross, the resurrection and new life. These things cannot be learned through a study of creation. You cannot simply stand at the edge of an ocean or the top of a mountain and know these things. Almost all of this revelation comes to us through the Word of God, his Scripture, the Bible.To live out your faith you must know what your faith is, I'm here to help you out...---At Church Public we create compelling content to equip you to follow Jesus and engage in the public square including Current Events from a Christian Perspective.Thanks for watching!

Nature inescapably reveals that there is a God to whom we are accountable, but it doesn't reveal how we can escape God's judgment against sin. For that, we need Scripture. Today, R.C. Sproul explains the necessity of special revelation.
