Church Theology

The doctrine of Hermogenes has this taint of novelty. He is, in short, a man living in the world at the present time; by his very nature a heretic, and turbulent withal, who mistakes loquacity for eloquence, and supposes impudence to be firmness, and judges it to be the duty of a good conscience to speak ill of individuals. Moreover, he despises God’s law in his painting, maintaining repeated marriages, alleges the law of God in defense of lust, and yet despises it in respect of his art. He falsifies by a twofold process—with his cautery and his pen.

Who is Jesus? And why does the church He started matter today? The answers to these questions are practical, profound, and liberating - and also inextricably connected. The closer you get to Jesus, the more you love people; and the more you love people, the more you become like Jesus. Drawing on biblical teaching and over 45 years of ministry experience, Pastor Mel Mullen brings clear, practical understanding to Jesus’ message and the community of Jesus-followers we call the church.

When Satan claimed to have authority over the kingdoms of the world and said he could give them to whomever he chose, why did Jesus not contradict him? Why instead did Jesus go on to describe Satan as the "god of this world?" If Satan is the spiritual head over the world's governments, can there be such a thing as a Christian nation? In Fight the Powers, Cody Cook compiles the relevant biblical data which draws connections between political power and spiritual forces, seeking to answer the question of how Christians ought to relate to the state in light of these connections.

"That can't be right, that's cannibalism!" No one ever said that God never challenged us or did something unexpected. But this claim about the words of Jesus in John 6 either we have thought, or likely heard, if we run in Christian circles. We can argue that we've had controversial prophecies before, like in Isaiah: "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel" that God has given us to understand His amazing plans. While Bible-believing Christians today are willing to believe what many Jews still find ...

In contemporary Christianity, the words "Church" and "Ekklesia" are often used as if they mean the same thing. However, this assumption overlooks their distinct origins, meanings, and implications. These terms are not synonymous but represent two different concepts shaped by history, language, and theology. "Ekklesia," a Greek word found throughout the New Testament, refers to an assembly or gathering of people called for a purpose. It is rooted in the idea of community and mission, emphasizing the relational and participatory nature of the early Christian movement.

We know with certainty regarding Athenagoras that he was an Athenian philosopher who had embraced Christianity and that his apology, or as he styles it, “Embassy”, was presented to the Emperors Aurelius and Commodus at about AD 177. He is supposed to have written a considerable number of works, but the only other production of his extant works is his treatise on the Resurrection.

WALKING IN LOVE. Nobody did it better than Jesus. Love ultimately led Him to the point of laying down His very own life for the sake of others. He set aside His personal preferences.

John Locke's theory of toleration is generally seen as advocating the privatization of religion. This interpretation has become conventional wisdom: secularization is widely understood as entailing the privatization of religion, and the separation of religion from power. This audiobook turns that conventional wisdom on its head and argues that Locke secularizes religion, that is, makes it worldly, public, and political. In the name of diverse citizenship, Locke reconstructs religion as persuasion, speech, and fashion.

Like cascading dominoes, the intentional departure from believing the Bible is inerrant has plunged the church of the 21st century down the treacherous slippery slope of accommodation and compromise.

The author unfolds the shocking progression of ideas that were birthed in a nest of aberrant church beliefs.

I wrote again to the same persons another treatise, which I entitled On Rebuke and Grace, because I had been told that someone there had said that no man ought to be rebuked for not doing God’s commandments, but that prayer only should be made on his behalf, that he may do them.
