Presbyterians in Quarantine Episode 10: Thou Changest Not

However unstable I may be, however fickle my friends may prove, God changes not. If He varied as we do, if He willed one thing today and another tomorrow, if He were controlled by caprice, who could confide in Him? But, all praise to His glorious name, He is ever the same. His purpose is fixed, His will is stable, His word is sure.

Presbyterians in Quarantine Episode 9: Who Made God?

The grand difference between a human being and a supreme being is precisely this: Apart from God, I cannot exist. Apart from me, God does exist. God does not need me in order for Him to be; I do need God in order for me to be. This is the difference between what we call self-existent being and dependent being. We are dependent. We are fragile. We cannot live without air, without water, without food. No human being has the power of being within himself. Life is lived between two hospitals. We need a support system from birth to death to sustain life. We are like flowers that bloom and then wither and then fade. This is how we differ from God. God does not wither, God does not fade, God is not fragile.

Presbyterians in Quarantine Episode 8: Behold Your God

In the simplest Christian truth there resides a profundity that can occupy the minds of the most brilliant people for a lifetime. And even in learned theological sophistication, we never really rise above a child’s level of understanding the mysterious depths and riches of the character of God.

Presbyterians in Quarantine Episode 7: Rightly Dividing the Word Part 2

“Each book proceeded from the same divine mind, so the teaching of the Bibles sixty-six books will be complementary and self consistent. If we cannot yet see this, the fault is in us, not in Scripture. It is certain that scripture nowhere contradicts Scripture; rather, one passage explains another.”

-J.I. Packer

Presbyterians in Quarantine Episode 6: Rightly Dividing the Word

“Along with the “right” to interpret Scripture comes the responsibility to interpret it properly. Believers are free to discover the truths of Scripture, but they are not free to fabricate their own truth. Believers are called to understand sound principles of interpretation and to avoid the danger of subjectivism.”

-R.C. Sproul

Presbyterians in Quarantine Episode 5: The Canon of Scripture

From a divine perspective, the church could not in any way be regarded as the cause of God’s divinely-inspired speech.  On the contrary, God’s divinely-inspired speech always stands over the church and governs her.

Michael Kruger

Presbyterians in Quarantine Episode 4: I Feel the Need for A Creed

The church is called to preserve the Word of God, to explain it, to preach it, apply it, translate it, spread it abroad, recommend it, and defend it - in a word, to cause the thoughts of God laid down in Scripture to triumph everywhere and at all times over the thoughts of man…Thus the truth laid down in Scripture leads, on the part of all those who believe and embrace it, to a confession, a creed.

Herman Bavinck

Presbyterians in Quarantine Episode 3: God Has Spoken

Conversion turns us to the Word of God as our rule to walk by (Galatians 6:16), as our water to wash us (Psalm 119:9), as our fire to warm us (Luke 24:32), as our food to nourish us (Matthew 4:4) , and as our sword to fight with (Ephesians 6:17).

Henry Philip

Presbyterians in Quarantine Episode 2: The Heavens Declare

Christianity is a religion that rests on revelation: nobody would know the truth about God, or be able to relate to him in a personal way, had not God first acted to make himself known.

J.I. Packer

Presbyterians in Quarantine Episode 1: Introduction to Theology

The first mark of good theology is that it seeks to echo the divine Word as faithfully as it can...theology is for doxology and devotion--that is, the praise of God and the practice of godliness.

J.I. Packer
