Theology Applied

The death of Jesus is first and foremost an atonement for the sins of his people. But the death of Jesus also serves as the supreme example of sacrificial love that each of us must follow.

Big Eva is filled with ideologues and opportunists. The ideologues eventually expose themselves, but the opportunists tend to be more sneaky. As wokeness begins to die down, Big Eva is desperately trying to find a way to pivot. How can we lovingly expose these opportunists so that Christians don’t fall for their schemes?

Love drives out fear. In other words, love is the antidote to fear. And the people of God should be filled with love because God first loved us by sending us his Son.

7. What is the sphere and assignment given by God to individuals in self-government? God has graciously assigned the dominion mandate to all human beings which is part of what it means to be made in God’s image. 8. What is the Dominion Mandate? The Dominion Mandate is found in Genesis 1:28 and it is the command and blessing, with the corresponding authority to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, subdue it, and rule over all of creation. 9. How is self-government possible? Because of sin and the Fall of Adam, self-government has been distorted and become a means of tyranny, harm, and misuse. Therefore, true self-government is only possible through the regeneration of human hearts brought about by the preaching of the gospel and the renewing grace of the Holy Spirit. 10. What is self-government also called in the New Testament? In the New Testament, self-government is also called self-control, one of the fruits of the Spirit. 11. Why is self-government the foundation for all other governments? Self-government is the foundation of all other governments because all other governments are made up of individuals who either serve themselves and their lusts, or else they serve others in love through obedience to the authority of Christ. 12. What is the duty of all people with regard to self-government? It is the duty of all people to rule their entire lives in this world to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth with good things in praise and imitation of their Maker and Savior and for His glory.

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel Webbon is joined by Bnonn Tennant (It’s Good To Be A Man) to discuss women wearing head coverings at church, the concept of glory, the principle of submission, and a whole lot more!

Abraham was known as the father of the faithful. God used Abraham to model what faith looks like and what each of us should aspire to.

Ministries like yours regularly emphasize the importance of God’s Law, but how does this emphasis square with Romans 6:14? “For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.”

When it comes to salvation, it is not the size of our faith that saves us, but the object of our faith. 

BONUS EPISODE: 1. Where does all authority and power come from? All authority and power in heaven and on earth originates in the Triune God and has been given to the Lord Jesus Christ. 2. If all authority is from God, what kind of authority can humans have? Because all authority is from God, all human authority is delegated and limited. 3. What does it mean that all human authority is delegated? Delegated authority means that it was given directly by God and can be revoked by Him. 4. What does it mean that all human authority is limited? All human authority is limited by the particular assignments given to them by God in His Word. Any leader who goes beyond, misuses, or abdicates their particular assignments has no authority to do so. 5. What governments have been established directly by God? God has established the responsibility of self-government in every individual, and family government, church government, and civil government in society. 6. Who is the Head of every government and power? The Lord Jesus Christ. Since He exercised self-government perfectly in His sinless life, atoning death, and glorious resurrection and ascension, He has been made Father of all the families of the earth, King of all the kingdoms of the earth, and the only Head of the Church in heaven and on earth.

The recent documentary, “Hillsong: A Mega Church Exposed,” utterly fails in its attempt to bring God’s true judgment to charlatans such as Brian Houston and Carl Lentz. This is because pagans are not fit to execute just judgments regarding spiritual matters. “When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church?”‭‭ 1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:1-4‬ ‭ESV‬‬
