Tensions are rising in America. The nation cannot continue to hold together with such diametrically opposed worldviews. Where you live will make all the difference in your family’s survival and wellbeing.

What do you do with your guilt? There are only three options: 1) You write a new narrative for your life that constantly makes you an innocent victim surrounded by toxic people, 2) You acknowledge your guilt and sit underneath its crushing weight, 3) You trust in Christ as the one who bore your guilt.

“If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:35‬ ‭ESV‬‬ The Bible seems to indicate that women should reserve their theological questions for their husbands. If so, how far should this principle be applied?

Very few professing Christians understand the profound meaning behind this line in the famous hymn, “Amazing Grace” by John Newton. “Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved.”

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. 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.

“Could you speak to the relationship between Postmillennialism and Theonomy? I see the appropriateness of desiring to apply God’s standards in all areas of life, but do not see the Scriptures necessarily saying that the outcome of applying theonomic principles will play out in this world as the postmill position believes it will. In other words, Can I affirm Theonomy without affirming Postmillennialism? 

In verse 4 of Psalm 51 David says, “Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgments.” When we truly confess the severity of our sin we vindicate the justice of God!

45. When were all of these governments established by God? They were established at Creation in the Garden of Eden before sin entered the world. The fall of man affected the way these governments function, but it did not create them. 46. May these governments decide to take on new assignments or jurisdictions? No, because these governments derive their authority from the Lord Jesus, they cannot take on new assignments or jurisdictions without relinquishing their authority since they would be disobeying Christ. 47. What does it mean that these governments have separate powers or spheres? The separation of powers means that each government must only exercise its authority in the limited jurisdiction assigned to it by God. Civil governments may not regulate how or when the church gathers for worship or how families provide for themselves or educate children. Neither may parents take to themselves the authority over the sacraments, and the church may not legislate or execute criminal justice. 48. Are there not times when one government is abusing its authority and another government may legitimately intervene? Yes, for example, when a crime, as defined by Scripture, has been committed in a family or church, civil government must intervene. Likewise, when a family or civil government is in unrepentant sin, ministers of the church must teach, exhort, rebuke, and censure. 49. Are there cases of overlapping jurisdictions or authority? Yes, there are occasional instances where there may be legitimate overlap in jurisdiction. In those cases of overlapping authority, governments must protect their God-given jurisdictions vigorously and work through the challenges, respecting other governments as equals before God. 50. Will all of these governments last forever? No. While individuals in Christ have everlasting life and the nations will bring their glory into the New Jerusalem, these governments along with marriage and family will be transfigured into something far more glorious, and it is the church alone, as the Bride of Christ, that will last forever.

In this episode of Theology Applied, Samuel Sey (SlowToWrite) joins Pastor Joel to discuss our nation’s idolatrous worship of women.

When did the Law of God first come into existence? Why were men held responsible for their sins of murder, theft, lying, and etc. before the time of Moses if the Law did not appear until it was written on tablets of stone at Mount Sinai?
