Podcasts about why theology matters

We hope you enjoy this episode by Alan Holcombe entitled; Why Theology Matters.

“Theology is the constant attempt of Christians to speak well whether we be laity or clergy.”— Stanley HauerwasJonathan Totty interviews Stanley Hauerwas about why being informed about theology is important for all Christians. And, how as Christians we are obligated to engage in theology so as to make sense of our own humanity in relation to God. This is the first of a series of podcasts titled “Why Theology Matters.” In this series Jonathan explores how theology is the “Queen of the Sciences” and the broadest horizon in which we understand and make sense of reality by interviewing theologians, pastors, and lay people who are engaged in the work of theology.

Growing in our faith and learning to love the Lord more, all starts with knowing God more. If we can grow in our knowledge of God, then we can come to love him more and more with each passing day.  And that's a big part of why we study theology. But I know that studying theology can also be overwhelming and daunting. Which is why we are going through this series on Practical Theology for Homemakers. You can find part 1 in case you missed it: Why Theology Matters for Homemakers.  Listen to the Podcast: We also recorded this blog post as an audio podcast.

Last week we started discussing the importance of the attributes of God and took a look at three of them. Today we are going to look at a few more and then find out why this is so important to our daily lives. Let's jump in!  God is Self-Sufficient & Eternal As finite human beings, we can't just keep going on and on. We need to stop and rest, and eat, and store up energy to keep going. God is different. He can keep going on forever, he is self-sufficient and eternally preserving.  "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything." - Acts 17:24-25 God is not dependent on anyone or anything. We however, are dependent on God with each breathe that we take and the entire world depends on Him sustaining it minute by minute, second by second.  The important lesson for us: We are not self-sufficient. We may go through seasons or periods where we feel proud of ourselves and that we are working hard and making things happen. Other times we are depressed and living in survival mode. In either case, God should be the one getting the glory.  He is the one that enables us to achieve anything and he's the one sustaining us in the rough and hard seasons. We are fully depending on God and we would do good to remember that!  Unmasking Self-Sufficiency What are the marks of self-sufficiency in the life of the believer? How can we know when we have stopped replying on God and others? When we deny our need for God, self-sufficiency reveals itself in the following ways:  Prayerlessness. Our self-reliance causes us to cease approaching God with petition, praise, confession, or thanksgiving. Because we credit ourselves as the ultimate provider, we cease conversation with our true provider. Forgetfullness. Like Israel in the Old Testament, we forget the past undeniable provision of God. Like Israel, we trust our current and future needs to the idol of self, which we have adopted from the surrounding culture.  Anger in trial. When difficulties force us to come face-t0-face with our limits, we feel anger at our exposed need. We are unable to count our trails as joy (James 1:2), seeing them as a verdict on our weakness instead of opportunity to learn reliance on God.  Lack of conviction of personal sin. We grow increasingly unable to acknowledge our personal need for forgiveness. When we hear a sermon or read a passage of Scripture, we hear it as a general admonition instead of a personal one." - None Like Him, pages 63-64 God is Ever-Present God is all around us, in every corner of the world at every second. He is omnipresent which simply means he is present everywhere. God is always watching.  He's watching and he's there when we suffer, when we walk through a trial, and he is present for each and every sin we commit. Nothing can escape his gaze which becomes important as we get to our last point today.  God is all Knowing Our God is a god of infinite knowledge. This is what we call omniscient.

Do you wish you knew the Lord more? Do you ever feel confused when you read certain parts of the Bible and don't understand why God does the things he does? Do you yearn to love him more and more with each passing day?  That's the motivation behind this new series, Practical Theology for Homemakers. Hopefully as we move through this series, you will grow in some of those questions. So far we covered: Why Theology Matters for Homemakers, The Goal of Our Christian Life, and So What's the Big Deal About Studying God's Word?

This next part we will be diving into is: The Attributes of God. If we want to come to love and worship the Lord more, we need to know Him more. Understanding the attributes of God is one great way to study God more - and thus come to love Him more!  When you first met your husband, you were not simply content to learn his name and a few random facts about him. No, you want to learn all there was about him, who he is, how his brain works, and how he looks the world. And in the process of learning more about him, you fell more in love with him.  I've been doing a lot of study on the book of Proverbs this year and one of the biggest take aways is that our faith starts with a healthy fear (or awe) of God. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;     all those who practice it have a good understanding.     His praise endures forever!" - Psalm 111:10 When we were called to be a disciple of Christ, when we came to salvation, our knowledge of God shouldn't stop there. Yes, we should have a thorough understanding of the Gospel and to be able to preach it to our family and all we come into contact with. But our knowledge of the Lord should grow from there.  "My conception of God was that he was approachable and accessible, the God that the Lord's Prayer endearingly refers to as 'Our Father.' And he is that. He is mercifully and gloriously that Father. But what the fear of the Lord acknowledges is that he is not only that. He is also 'in heaven,' with a name that is hallowed above all others. He is both a God who is near to us and a God who transcends. The fear of the Lord comprehends the fact that the Father we are taught to call 'ours' is also the Lord of the universe, enthroned between the cherubim, doing as he pleases among the nations." - None Like Him, pages 11-12 So we see that the beginning of Wisdom is a healthy fear and awe of the Lord. The beginning of wisdom is to accurately understand who God is and we learn that from the pages of Scripture.  "When we fear God rightly, we recognize him for who he truly is: a God of no limits, and therefore, utterly unlike anyone or anything we know. This is the start of becoming wise."- None Like Him, page 13.  Accurately understanding God's attributes not only allows us to know him more, it also protects us. It protects us from idol worship, from worshipping false God's and things that look like God but are not. It helps us to be more discerning with what we read and listen to. It protects us by helping us to accurately discern and understand the difference between false doctrine and teaching and true teaching.  *Please note: For a deeper study into each of these attributes, I highly recommend you get a copy of None Like Him by Jen Wilkin.  God is Infinite ...and we are not.  "Any discussion of how God is not like us must begin with an acknowledgement that we are measurable and he is not. God is infinite, unbound by limits. He defies measurement of any kind. His limitlessness underlies all of his attributes; his power, knowledge, love, and mercy are not merely great, but they are infinitely so, measurelessly so.

It's one thing to pay lip service to the importance of reading God's Word - it's another thing to actually cherish God's Word and to dig into it as often as we can. It's one thing to hear God's Word preached on Sunday and then move on with our week and forget about it - it's another thing to be daily savoring what God has revealed to us in His written Word.  Join me this week as we cover part 3 in our brand new series: Practical Theology for Homemakers. Part 1 we covered Why Theology Matters for Homemakers (HF #72) and part 2 we covered The Goal of Our Christian Life (Hf #74).  Listen to the Podcast: We also recorded this blog post as an audio podcast.

As we move deeper into this series, soon we will be covering the attributes of God, how to be more discerning with what we read and listen to, how and where we find our identity and more. We are about to move into some really good episodes.  But first, we need to establish a VERY firm foundation: Do we REALLY trust God's Word? The entire scope of our Christian life is based on this. If we can't trust God's Word to be accurate and true, then how can we base our life on it?  So we are going to briefly cover the inerrancy and sufficiency of God's Word and then move into some practical ideas for studying God's Word and how you can come to truly cherish God's Word.  Can we really trust God's Word?  First question we must ask, is what is the Bible good for? Why did God give us the Bible? The Westminster Shorter Catechism says,  Q. 3. What do the Scriptures principally teach? A. The Scriptures principally teach, what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God requires of man. Essentially, the Bible teach us who God is and how humankind relates to God. The Bible is the story about God redeeming His people.  "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17 The study into this goes way beyond the scope of this podcast episode, but as protestants, we believe that God inspired all the human authors of the Bible to write it. The Holy Spirit prompted the writers of the Bible and because it's all God-breathed as 2 Timothy says, it is God's perfect and Holy Word and it is without error.  "For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." - 2 Peter 1:21 This is called the inerrancy of Scripture. That God inspired the human writers and each word contained in His Word is without error. We can fully trust what God's Word teaches us about God and our world. In fact, it's the only trustworthy source we have at our disposal. It's the sole place we can find truth in this world as we seek God.  "God’s Word is sufficient to meet every need of the human soul as David verifies frequently in his psalms. Psalm 19:7-14 is the most comprehensive statement regarding the sufficiency of Scripture. It is an inspired statement about Scripture as a qualified guide for every situation. Scripture is comprehensive, containing everything necessary for one’s spiritual life. Scripture is surer than a human experience that one may look to in proving God’s power and presence. Scripture contains divine principles that are the best guide for character and conduct. Scripture is lucid rather than mystifying so that it enlightens the eyes. Scripture is void of any flaws and therefore lasts forever. Scripture is true regarding all things that matter, making it capable of producing comprehensive righteousness. Because it meets every need in life, Scripture is infinitely more precious than anything this world has to offer.

It seems like we are always working. Always striving. Always doing and always trying. As Christians, we can easily feel pulled in a million different directions as we try and figure out what we should be spending our time on.  What's the ultimate purpose and goal? What is the goal of our Christian life?  Last week we covered Why Theology Matters for Homemakers and covered the introduction to our new series: Practical Theology for Homemakers. In that episode we talked about what theology is, why it matters, and why we need theology in our life.  Listen to the Podcast: We also recorded this blog post as an audio podcast.

As we move through the practical parts of learning theology, the first thing to cover is our ultimate goal of our Christian life: to Grow in Godliness. We are on a continual process as Christians of growing in our faith and of growing closer to the Lord. But it's not always easy is it?   "As housewives, we often add to our job titles cook, chauffer, accountant, nurse, maid, and many other things. But have you ever considered being a theologian as a necessary part of your vocation? I have heard many people tell me, 'I know that I am a Christian. I have faith, and that is good enough for me. I don't feel the need to make it all complicated with theological stuff.' It is heartbreaking and shameful that theology has such a bad reputation. Because of this, I am compelled to investigate such a profound misunderstanding. Faith is a gracious gift from God, and this faith has content. It is not just faith in faith. When you fall in love with your husband, are you satisfied at that moment to learn nothing else about him? Of course not, the opposite is true; you want to know more and more of him. And your love grows in this way. Now think of our all-knowing, all-powerful God. Can we ever exhaust our learning of him? What a privilege and an honor to be able to know our God!" - Housewife Theologian, page 13  Studying theology simply leads to growing in our faith which then means growing in our relationship and love of the Lord!  We are no strangers to growth. Growth is all around us. We are continually growing; our kids sprout up before our eyes, we are growing in our careers and knowledge of the world. We sense it in the seasons and the changing of the year. We are always growing and changing and being molded.  But what are we being molded into? What image are you reflecting? With each passing day are you becoming more and more like the world? Or more and more like Christ? You are always growing - so the question becomes: What are you growing towards? The Bible assumes that we will always be growing and Peter in particular urges us to be growing in the Lord.  "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."- 2 Peter 3:18 "Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ," - Ephesians 4:15 We are not meant to be stagnant in our walk with the Lord. We are called to always be learning and growing and drawing closer to God.  We grow in our faith in two ways:  1) When we are intentional  God calls us to be intentional with our Spiritual walk. This is where our obedience is expected in reading God's Word, prayer, and being active in our faith.  2) The Holy Spirit Working in Us While we are called to obedience, we also must recognize that nothing we do is of our own effort. God is the one who initiates our relationship with Him and it's the Holy Spirit who works in and through us.  "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought,
