Do you believe that a family should be denied church membership if they place their children in public school? My wife and I were told that we had to prove our repentance by my wife quitting her job and homeschooling our children before we would be considered for membership at our local church. Is this biblical? 

Everything God does is first and foremost for his own glory. However, if we remain true to God’s Word, we can be assured that when God vindicates himself we will be vindicated also.

When God speaks, it is always without error and with full authority. However, not everything in Scripture is equally clear. So how should we communicate the less clear passages of the Bible?

The preacher who is ministering the Word of God has two primary weapons when defending himself against those who oppose him. Number one, the message from Scripture and number two, his godly character.

The next 4 weeks we are re-releasing some of our favorite episodes. We hope you enjoy! In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel Webbon is joined by the hosts of the King’s Hall Podcast (Brian Sauvé, Eric Conn, and Dan Berkholder) to discuss a list of 5 doctrines in order of most dangerous to least dangerous.  Over the past 20-30 years or so, God sovereignly addressed several false doctrines that were not merely unbiblical, but heretical: Prosperity Gospel, Seeker-Sensitive, Roman Catholicism, & Liberal Theology (Open Theism, Process Theology, Etc). Our prediction is that over the next 20-30 years, God will sovereignly begin to address doctrines that are not necessarily heretical, but still unbiblical and dangerous. In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel Webbon is joined by the hosts of the King’s Hall Podcast to discuss a list 5 doctrines in order of most dangerous to least dangerous.  Check out The King’s Hall Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUD3FduoMa8k2-NhsPA4LPg

This sermon was preached at Covenant Bible Church on September 19, 2021. Psalm 63:2 says, “So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.” While on the run from his son Absalom, David has been effectively cut off the land of Israel, and most significantly, the sanctuary. Therefore, the psalmist is deprived of the praise of God, the people of God, and the presence of God. He is consumed by a desperate, and even violent, thirst for the pleasure and privilege of the presence of God in public worship. David longs to appear before his God. David knows that the sweetest times in the presence of God are not found in private devotion, but in public worship. For the past 18 months, Christians (and especially pastors) have been presented with a simple choice: Either forsake the gathering to minimize the physical threat of death to our bodies, or continue to gather to minimize the spiritual threat of damnation to our souls. Some overly zealous Calvinists might object at this point by insisting that God is sovereign over salvation, and therefore, he is capable of preserving the souls of his elect, even in the absence of physically gathering together on the Lord’s Day. However, I might remind these Calvinists that the same God who is sovereign over salvation is sovereign over everything, and therefore, he is also quite capable of preserving the health of his people as they diligently seek to obey his commands.

What Would The Current Population Be If Adam Never Sinned & No One Ever Died?

Christians must be committed to both Gospel and Law. The Law asks, “WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?).” The Gospel asks, “WDJD (What Did Jesus Do?).” Both of these questions are vital for the Christian.

The Christian life is a life of perpetual and continual training for godliness. The moment that we stop is the moment that we begin to decline.

Discipline is costly. You will never be disciplined without the proper incentive. Watch this clip, as Pastor Joel provides motivation from Scripture for running after Jesus with everything we have!
