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.

Worth the Wait

Some things are worth waiting for. Do you struggle with God’s timing? Think of Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Trust that God knows what He’s doing and wait patiently for Him to act.

Loving God: Our Ultimate Response

With inspiration from the Psalms, Pastor Chuck Swindoll reflects upon the results of love for God. Realize how loving God means experiencing His power, receiving His peace, embracing His forgiveness, and welcoming His will.

Love with a Limp

A cross around a neck, an “ichthus” fish on the back of a car, a well-crafted sermon. None of these is the mark of a Christian—it is love. Like the old song says, “They will know we are Christians by our love.” Honest, transparent love.

Handling the Scriptures Accurately

Drawing from the books of Nehemiah and Matthew, Pastor Chuck Swindoll examines how we can prevent going awry.
