Theology on Fire

When I say anger, what do you think of? Is it the image of a big, aggressive man? Anger isn’t always yelling at people or fighting; it is internal before it becomes external. Anger accuses people. It’s bitter and jealous. It shuts people out. Anger says damaging things that hurt the person and ourselves.

Where does anger come from and how does God want to deal with it? Let's learn and grow together.

What do we need to be content? Is it okay to settle? Should I desire anything beyond what I currently have in my possession? Biblical contentment is not laziness, neither is it setting the bar low and being satisfied with sin in our lives. True Biblical contentment is filled with desire and holy ambition. It is pregnant with faith and allows us to rest in Jesus Himself as our source of all provision, both temporal and eternal. Let your faith be built up as you listen to this Bible study recorded at First New Testament Church.

Just like different categories of movies, so the Bible is filled with different genres, or types, of scripture. There is the lesson-filled history, heart-touching poetry, and harrowing prophecy. Within our Bibles is also the genre of lament, or complaint to God. Though it may sound strange, nearly half of the Psalms are laments and there is even a book called Lamentations. Amazingly, God invites us to lament to Him and in the complaint to find healing, freedom, and intimacy with the God who listens and responds to our cries for help and frustration.

So go on...pour out your heart to Jesus.

There have always been crowds of people who have drawn just close enough to Jesus to hear His words and to receive His help. Though Jesus is gracious enough to minister to these lives, it does not mean that they are His disciples or that Jesus is committed to them.  Jesus demands something more from our lives; a faith that provokes action and moves us beyond the crowd, beyond the religious, and beyond our own will.

The terms deconstruction and exvangelicalism have come to the forefront of Christian news. Every service, you may be sitting next to someone who is beginning to deconstruct or who has been in the process for years. If the body of Christ is to flourish, we must be armed with the knowledge of what deconstruction is and isn't, so that we can combat the satanic attacks of the exvangelical movement. We all have questions, and we must all be allowed to study for ourselves to know what we believe. The real point is, do those questions lead us to Christ or away from him?
