Theology
What words come to mind when you hear the term theology? Dry…Dreary…Doubtful…DULL? You’re not alone.
Too often we don’t realize that theology—thinking about God—is an intimate part of our everyday lives, rather than something that takes place in ivory towers crowded with bearded men crouched over dusty books. We each engage in theology because we each have a set of beliefs about God. But rather than being content with our ideas about God as they now stand, we should each have a desire to know God better than we do today. If you’ve got that desire, then you’re ready to do theology!
Let these resources point the way to a faith more deeply connected with who God actually says He is.
Moving from Theory to Reality
Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll as he shares four guidelines for following God’s will today. Learn how to trust God’s leading through His Word, inner promptings, the counsel of the wise, and the inner assurance of His peace.
Foundational Principles about God’s Will
Pastor Chuck Swindoll answers this question and more as he weaves through the tapestry of Scripture to discuss God’s sovereign, decreed will along with His permissive will.
Earthbound
It’s easy to lose ourselves to fantasy. But God’s divine perspective grounds us in a proper view of the real world. He alone provides meaning and purpose to an otherwise pointless life.
Dreams Not Yet Lived
King Solomon lived out his dreams. He enjoyed every pleasure the world had to offer, and it came up short. Solomon discovered living a life devoted to pleasure is meaningless.
Basic Bible Ignorance
The Pharisees wanted to stone Jesus because He claimed equality with God and they rejected His claim. We do the same thing; we either accept or reject Christ. There is no middle ground.
The Golden A-B-Cs
An old German version of the Bible calls Psalm 119 “the Christian’s Golden ABC of the praise, love, power, and use of the Word of God.” If we can absorb the lessons from this chapter, we’re off to a good start.
Superstition
We become superstitious when we’re unsure about God’s truth. Superstition is bondage. It puts us in chains, enslaves us, and steals our joy. Christ came to set us free from this oppression.
Reservoirs of Knowledge
Ignorance is not bliss. When you’re unsure about what you believe, you become a target for false teachers. Biblical knowledge will help you take a stand for the truth in a lost and disoriented world.
Knowing Where You Stand
It takes knowledge of God’s Word to discern truth and detect error. Not only from what is said but from what is left out.
