1700 years ago, a Christian council was held that defined the church from that point forward. Does this meeting of Christian bishops matter today? What were they fighting over? Why is it astonishing that what they said is still affirmed by all Christians everywhere this many years later? In this episode, we seek to show a quick history and the overall importance of the Nicene Creed.ResourcesThe Nicene Creed: What You Need to Know about the Most Important Creed Ever Written by Kevin DeYoungThe Nicene Creed: An Introduction by Phillip Cary“Confessions are about what we believe; creeds are about in whom we believe. Creeds are not meant as comprehensive statements of the Christian faith; they're instead pledges of allegiance to the three persons of the Trinity.” -Donald FairbairnC.S. Lewis said they there's two ways to expose your blind spots: Go into the future to see what we missed or go back to the past to see what we forgot about. We haven't discovered how to go into the future yet, he says, but we do have a way of going into the past which is writing old writings and books. Connect With Us providenceomaha.org | Instagram | Facebook Email Us formation@providenceomaha.org

7. View of salvation. The goal of Mormon salvation is notabout escaping wrath as much as it is about maximizing ourgrowth and ensuring our happiness. Salvation is finding ourway back to God the Father and recalling our forgotten firstestate as his premortal spirit children.Mormon theology teaches that we cannot receive an eternalreward by our own unaided efforts. In some respects,salvation is based on what we have earned, but what weearn is by grace. How this plays out in Mormon life may differfrom person to person, but they stress that the gift of theHoly Ghost is conditional upon continued obedience.Mormons must keep the First Principles and Ordinances,which consist of the Ten Commandments, tithing, chastity,and the “Word of Wisdom” which prohibits tobacco, coffee,tea, alcohol, and illegal narcotics.Temples are also important in Mormon doctrine and practice.Couples must be married in a Mormon temple to have aneternal marriage, and every Mormon must be baptized inone of their 135 (and counting) authorized Temples. Becauseof the importance of baptism in the Temple, baptisms for thedead are extremely common. Mormons keep detailedgenealogical records so that their ancestors can be properlybaptized. By one estimate more than 100 million deceasedpersons have been baptized by proxy baptism in Mormontemples. Those who received this baptism are free in theafterlife to reject or accept what has been done on theirbehalf.Death in Mormon thinking is seen as another beginning,complete with opportunities to respond to postmortempreaching in the world to come. We will live in the spiritworld, and at some point our spirit and body will be reunitedforever.There are four divisions in the afterlife. The Lake of Fire isreserved for the Devil, his demons, and those who committhe unpardonable sin. The Telestial Kingdom is where thewicked go. It is a place of suffering but not like the Lake ofFire. Most people go to the Telestial Kingdom where they areoffered salvation again. The lukewarm-not quite good, notquite evil-go to the Terrestrial Kingdom when they die. ThisKingdom is located on a distant planet in the universe. TheCelestial Kingdom is for the righteous. Here God's peoplelive forever in God's presence. We will live as gods and livewith our spouses and continue to procreate. This is the aimand the end of Mormon salvation.ConclusionChristians can be thankful for Mormon friends and familymembers who are good neighbors and share many of thesame ethical standards and moral commitments. ButMormonism and Christianity are not the same. Far from it.Though the language sounds similar at times, the beliefs arequite distinct. Mormons do not understand history, God,man, salvation, heaven, hell, the cross, Jesus, or the Trinityas the canonical Scriptures teach, nor do they agree with theconciliar doctrine taught by the one, holy, catholic, apostolicchurch over the last two thousand years.Discussion based on Kevin DeYoung is the senior pastor at Christ CovenantChurch (PCA) in Matthews, North Carolina and associateprofessor of systematic theology at ReformeFor more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

A quick note on secondary sources: Christian materials donot always treat Mormonism fairly or go the extra mile topresent Mormon ideas as a Mormon would recognize them.One book that does is Andrew Jackson's MormonismExplained: What Latter-day Saints Teach and Practice. I alsorecommend A Different Jesus? The Christ of the Latter-DaySaints by BYU professor Robert Millet. Richard Mouwconcedes too much in his Foreword and Afterword, but it isstill helpful to get Mormon Christology from a Mormonhimself.1. View of history. In Mormon thinking, the rise ofMormonism was not merely a reformation or renewal of thechurch. It was a complete restoration. Following the death ofChrist's apostles, the church fell into complete apostasy. Thechurch lost divine authority and true doctrine. There is nounbroken continuity from the early church to the present.Christianity, for almost all of its history, was false and withoutthe truth—until Joseph Smith and his revelation. Mormonismnot only rejects historic orthodox Christianity, the entirereligion is based on the need for such repudiation.2. View of revelation. Mormons believe the Bible (the KJVversion), but do not consider it inerrant. Neither do theyconsider the Bible complete. What makes Mormonismunique is their belief in continuing revelation sustainedthrough prophets, seers, and revelators. So while Mormonsaffirm the Bible, they also affirm the inspiration of the Bookof Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of GreatPrice. Through an elaborate hierarchy of President, FirstPresidency, Twelve Apostles, First Quorum of the Seventy,and Second Quorum of the Seventy, Mormons can receiveauthoritative interpretations and new authoritativerevelations.Kevin DeYoung is the senior pastor at Christ CovenantChurch (PCA) in Matthews, North Carolina and associateprofessor of systematic theology at Reformed TheologicalSeminary.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Blake and Jack tackle the Ninth Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” But as they quickly uncover, this commandment isn't just about lying—it's about gossip, slander, exaggeration, and the thousand subtle ways we undermine truth in daily life. Jack opens with a vivid personal illustration of a leaky ceiling and how unchecked deception functions like a drip—slowly saturating and eventually destroying. The conversation moves through scripture, theology (featuring insights from Kevin DeYoung and Thomas Watson), and practical application with the Heidelberg Catechism guiding the way.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“We do see by faith. We see by faith what cannot be seen by our eyes; we grasp by faith what cannot be grasped with our hands.”~Charles Spurgeon “We can stop pleading with God to show us the future, and start living and obeying like we are confident that He holds the future.”~Kevin DeYoung “Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.”~Martin Luther “Faith is the confident, continuous confession of total dependence on and trust in Jesus Christ for the necessary requirements to enter God's Kingdom. It involves more than mere intellectual assent to the truth of the gospel; saving faith includes trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and surrender to His lordship.”~John MacArthur “The righteous shall live by faith.”~Habakkuk 2:4SERMON PASSAGEHebrews 11:1-7 (ESV) 1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
