Theology Applied

Is it possible for Christians to seek to mirror God’s Law in the voting booth? Are there any limitations on using America’s governing system to enforce God’s Law?

The Holy Spirit is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His ministry has remained constant throughout the ages. Watch this episode to find out what one key element of the Holy Spirit’s ministry is.

Psalm 23 is an account of everything God has already done for David in the past, as well as everything David is confident God will do for him in the future. But the chief end of all God's past provisions and future promises is found in the final phrase of verse 3: “...He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” All that God does is for “his name's sake.” In other words, all that God does is for his glory. And one if the chief ways God has chosen to bring glory to himself is by being good to his people.

When an elder, deacon, or member of a church is caught in sin, there is one incredibly common method of dealing with that sin that Scripture clearly condemns as spiritual abuse. Sadly, although this abusive method is condemned, pastors still do it all the time.

In this episode, Pastor Joel uses Hebrews 11:3 to dismantle the atheistic worldview, and encourage Christians in their faith.

Do we cast out false teachers or do we listen to Jesus when he says not to worry about separating the wheat and tares, that his angel will do it when the harvest comes?

“I don’t want man’s interpretation of Scripture, just give me the pure unadulterated Bible.” Ever heard something like this? Statements like this may sound spiritual, but they actually reveal ignorance at best and arrogance at worst.

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel welcomes his friend, Jon Harris, back to the show. Joel and Jon share their thoughts on Jordan Peterson. Is Jordan Peterson a gift to the Church in this difficult hour, or perhaps, does Peterson actually serve as a sign of God’s judgment on the Church for its failures? 

The Bible teaches that God is slow to anger and patient toward the wicked, but how should we interpret this patience?

Once more, Pastor Joel preached through Psalm 19:7-9. This time his focus was on not only the beauty of God’s Law, but also the many blessings that come by obedience to it.
