This week we have come to our final episode of season two, where we will take a brief look at a fancy theological term called, eschatology.  One of the great advantages Christians have is God has determined the end from the beginning and revealed many of those mysteries through the Holy Scripture.  We call this set of biblical truths the Doctrine of Final Things.  These truths have a special place...

In this week’s episode, we are going to take a look at the pinnacle of God’s plan in creation, through the work of Christ Jesus.  This biblical truth tackles the most critical need of mankind, atonement for sin.  Simply put, this work of Christ Jesus is applied to those chosen by God, commonly known as the Doctrine of Salvation.  Join us in this journey through the uniqueness of the Christian worl...

One of the most significant effects Christians experience in their faith is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  This effect is revealed and experienced in many ways by the believer.  From subtle leanings to the cause of Christ with increased joy and humility.  To an irresistible pull in teaching and ministering to other believers, even evangelizing to the lost.  No matter how the effect is display...

Christianity is not about four walls and a roof, nor is it about the governing ordinances of a church, or ritual, or ceremony, or membership of a denomination.  Christianity is not about being inclusive, or universal, or even tolerant.  And Christianity is definitely not about having your best life now.  Christianity is about an amazing Person, where both the fullness of deity and man reside, and...

Episode five focuses on the Biblical Doctrine of Sin.  A set of beliefs describing the basic characteristics of sin; its essence, origin and effect.  As the concept of evil is any position taken against the will of God, so too is sin, any action or thought that is evil.  As a result, the Doctrine of Sin can be simply stated as replacing the will of God with something or someone else. We hope you w...

This week’s episode will focus on a distinct and special part of God’s creative work, the creature of man.  And how a set of beliefs concerning this creature, or the doctrine of man, has shaped the Christian worldview for centuries. Over two thousand years ago, a young shepherd by the name of David penned a psalm as he marveled at the night’s sky. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fin...

The subject for this week’s episode is a set of beliefs that if stated in the most general sense, is simply anything in opposition to the will of God.  This of course is the Doctrine of Evil, which by its very nature offers skeptics an opportunity in attempting to disprove, or at least call into question the existence of the all-knowing and all-powerful God of the Bible.  However, it is important...

In the second episode of Biblical Doctrine, we will look exclusively at God’s creative work, as all other doctrine flow from our knowledge of creation.  I emphasize the word creation in the context that God brought all things into being from nothing.  Afterall, a purely original, creative act could not take place utilizing preexisting materials, as what would be used would have already been brough...

We do not live in a time where authority of any type is held in high esteem.  This is especially true for many Christian ministries today, setting biblical truths aside while basing their services on one shining object or another in hope of attracting a large crowd.  Yet, this should not be so, as the Holy Scripture forms the foundation of the Christian worldview and is the center piece of our kno...

The foundational and systematic approach I spoke of at the beginning of season one, utilizing Jesus’ parable of the two builders has now come full circle as we reflect on a sampling of what God has revealed to us of Himself.  Of course, when we study the attributes God has revealed of Himself we begin to develop a glimpse of who He is and what He is.  As a result, who God is and what God is will b...

When we discuss what theologians refer to as the Trinity, we are not only addressing a Christian doctrine but an attribute of God.  We are also confronted with a principle that is distinctive to the Christian faith. No where among all the religions of the world will you find the claim that God is One, revealed as three distinct persons. This Biblical principle is the cornerstone of Christian thoug...

Justice is a fairly common term in the secular worldview, and one that we tend to hear used more and more, especially with unnecessary adjectives. The term Justice needs no modification. It was the Greek philosopher, Aristotle who generally defined justice as, “Equal Treatment.”   Thus, anyone claiming injustice, would suffer the burden of proof. So, when the Bible reveals this attribute of God, t...

No simple overview of God’s attributes, as revealed in scripture, would be complete without some basic knowledge of the love of God.  The Apostle John expressed this attribute of God as a noun in 1 John 4 stating, “God is love.”   The Apostle also provided an illustration of God’s love in action, in one of the most well-known verses in all of scripture, John 3:16. In this verse, John expresses God...

What is the Grace and Mercy of God?  Are there differences between the two? What does God do with them? All standard questions, even among believers. This weeks episode will focus on answering those questions and a few others as revealed in the Holy Scripture, with the intent of building our perspective of God on solid ground. There is little doubt, even from a cursory reading, the Bible is satura...

BRANDOFMAN; Season 1 – Episode 1 aims to rediscover our spirit of worship and the recovery of our soul as the inner meeting place of God. We will strive toward a most high view of God, placing Him above all things in direct relation to His nature, and in communion with our desire to find peace in Him.

Have you ever thought about infinity – something without limits of any kind?  It is not unusual to do so, as humans commonly associate infinity with time. However, what enters our minds when we view infinity outside of time? What are the implications of infinity in space, in knowledge, and in power? Additionally, what happens to our perspective of God, when we view Him, and His attributes from the...

When we describe someone to another person, we typically highlight qualities of the person we are describing. We might use terms such as practical, cheerful, or focused.  We refer to these qualities as attributes, as they describe distinct features, or traits. By divine inspiration, God has revealed attributes of Himself in scripture. As God can never be fully understood, He can however be known....
