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.
Thoughts and Thinkers
The first sentence of the Bible says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” But to many that’s impossible. They believe the world just happened, without any reason, intellect, plan, or thought. The truth is everything around us is evidence that creation not only required great thought but a great Thinker.
The King of Heaviness
We live in a day marked by shallow concepts of God. We’ve lost our sense of reverence...God has become our “pal,” our understanding buddy. But God is holy. He’s our Creator. He is our sovereign and glorious Lord, worthy of all our praise and worship.
The Cup That He Drank
Pastor Chuck Swindoll walks through John 18:1–11, the scene of Jesus’ arrest, to examine the cup the Father gave His Son to drink. In Christ’s submission lies the model for every believer who must choose obedience when the cost is high.
The Servant Who Came
From Philippians 2:5–8, Pastor Chuck Swindoll unpacks one of the most majestic passages in Scripture: how Jesus, though existing in the very form of God, emptied Himself, took the form of a bond-servant, and humbled Himself to death on a cross.
The Grace of God
From 2 Samuel 9, Pastor Chuck Swindoll tells the remarkable story of Mephibosheth, a crippled outcast brought to eat at King David’s table as one of his own sons. In this obscure Old Testament story lives the clearest picture of how God’s grace works.
The Love of God
Weaving through Deuteronomy 7, John 3, and 1 John 4, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores why God chose to love an undeserving people—not because of who they were, but because of who He is. The cross stands as the ultimate proof.
The Holiness of God
Pastor Chuck Swindoll opens Isaiah 6:1–8 to reveal a God whose holiness is utterly beyond our comfort zones. Far from paralyzing Isaiah, this vision broke him, cleansed him, and sent him on mission.
The Glory of God
From 2 Chronicles 26 and Isaiah 42:5–8, Pastor Chuck Swindoll traces Uzziah’s stunning rise and tragic fall to show what happens when a person stops giving God the credit He deserves. Five timeless warnings emerge from this ancient king’s story.
I'm the Problem
You can’t play games fairly without keeping the rules and the same logic applies to life. Rules set boundaries for us in how we should live but they don’t stop us from stop doing what wrong. God’s law is not the cause of our wrongdoing it simply reveals it to us.
