WLC Q7: Episode 17 God is Eternal and Unchangeable
In this episode, we continue examining the WLC Q7 by studying God's eternality and unchangeableness (Psalm 90:2; James 1:17).
Covenant Family Worship: An Update
All of life is for the glory of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that includes your family worship!
Blogcast: The Blessing of Church Discipline
In this episode, we share a sermon manuscript on Matthew 18:12-20 titled The Blessing of Church Discipline.
Open Your Bibles and Sing!
It is possible to open your Bibles and sing directly out of them, and I believe that is another true, good, and beautiful way of living out the principle of Sola Scriptura.
The Blessing of Church Discipline
By placing the story of the lost sheep immediately before verse 15, Matthew shows us that one of the ways that Jesus “goes and gets the lost sheep” is through the church – by sending his people who are not presently straying to go and get those who are presently straying to bring them back into the fold.
Episode 15: God’s Blessedness and Perfection
In this episode, we continue examining the WLC Q7 by studying two aspects of God's infinity: Blessedness and Perfection (1 Timothy 6:15; Romans 9:5; Nehemiah 9:5).
The First Worship Service – Worship Gone Wrong
Because of sin, this first worship service, though instructive for us, is a worship service none of us would want to have been a part of. It’s a worship service gone wrong.
Blog: The Heavenly Proprietor
In this episode, we present the idea of God's proprietary rights over all that he has made (Genesis 1:1; Exodus 20:8-11; Deuteronomy 5:12-15; Psalm 130:8; Galatians 4:5; Psalm 24:1; Psalm 50:12; Psalm 89:11).
Counseling Theology: Christ’s Dual Natures
Considering the biblical teaching regarding the divinity of Christ. One place to look would be to the teaching of Paul found in Philippians 2. In verse 6 Paul plainly traces Christ’s life from eternity past, when he was in the form of God and equal to God, saying, “though [Jesus] was in the form of God, [he] did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.”
Episode 14: God’s Being and Glory
In this episode, we continue examining the WLC Q7 by studying two aspects of God's infinity: Being and Glory (Exodus 3:14; Acts 7:2; John 11:4).
Counseling Theology: Proper Roles of Men and Women
It should be said, however, that in almost every point of argument from the egalitarian side I would have some degree of agreement.
The Heavenly Proprietor
If it appeals to your logic that when an inventor creates something then he or she gets proprietary rights over his creation, how much more sense does it make that we should recognize the Preeminent Creator as the Owner over “The world, and all those who dwell in it” (Psalm 24:1)?
Episode 13: God is Infinite
In this episode, we revisit the WLC Q7 which asks, "What is God?" Then, we provide some biblical basis for Louis Berkhof's claim that God is infinite, or free from all limitations (Job 11:1-9; 38:4-5).
The Folly of Atheism PT 1
Atheism is the worldview of fools. It touts itself as intellectual and scientific but is nothing more than a philosophy masquerading as neutral and objective.
God is Faithful: An Exegetical Study on 1 Corinthians 10:13 - Part 3
If the reader wishes to apply the hope-filled doctrine of this threefold series on 1 Corinthians 10:13, then go out and obey 1 Corinthians 10:14 with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Episode 12: God is Spirit
In this episode, we continue to pursue the knowledge of our great God by examining John 4:24 and Jesus’ declaration, “God is Spirit.”
The Motives of Sexual Sin
There are deep desires and motives of the heart that drive sexual sin and that’s the ground that we need to come to. We need to fall on our face before God and 1) recognize it, and 2) repent of it.
