This episode explores the doctrine of divine simplicity, emphasizing that God is without body, parts, or passions. It explains that because God is not composed of parts, He is infinite, unchanging, and independent of any external dependency. The speaker contrasts this with created beings who are limited and subject to change, highlighting that God's lack of creaturely passions signifies His perfect and constant love rather than indifference to his people. By affirming attributes such as immutability and eternality, the Confession of Faith speaks of God's absolute sovereignty and wisdom. Ultimately, this episode encourages believers to find comfort in a God who is wholly sufficient and works all things for His own glory.

Many believers today are asking if a woman can be a pastor. When churches tolerate women preaching to men, they act in direct violation of 1 Timothy 2. This standard is rooted deeply in the creation order of Genesis, which serves as the permanent foundation for complementarianism and biblical gender roles. While the office of church elders is reserved for biblically qualified men, women have an absolutely vital role in the church. The Scriptures heavily emphasize the beauty of the Titus 2 model, where older women teach younger women in practical Christian living. True church health is measured by total submission to the Word of God rather than shifting cultural trends.

Is deconstruction simply another word for apostasy? We examine that claim, look at biblical examples of testing religious truth claims, and ask what really separates honest examination from abandoning the faith.

(Theology Thursday)

It is the Lord Jesus Christ who gives you as a pastor the enabling grace to be faithful in the work of the ministry. In looking at Paul's words here, we will see what Christ Jesus did for him to enable him to be a faithful minister. Christ gave this enabling grace to the apostle Paul so that he would be able to show us as ministers how we can be more useful and fruitful to Christ in our ministries if we will heed what he is saying here. We should indeed be willing to imitate Paul as he imitated Christ. (1st Corinthians 11: 1) 1st of all – The apostle Paul is a pattern of Christ's longsuffering in relation to all believers, especially pastors. 2nd - Christ would have a pastor and his people speak often to one another.
