Woman - Become More and Truly Beautiful to GodJOHNY NATAD
Let your true beauty shine in the world. Woman, become more & truly Beautiful to God! Be gentle and quiet in spirit; Be submissive to God’s authority; and fears God always!
The Church is “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.” These are the four characteristics or “marks” of the Church.
The Church is one because it is unique: Christ founded one Church, and fall members of the Church are united in his one body.
The Church has been afflicted by various schisms and divisions, but remains in essence one. All Christians are called to work toward greater unity with one another.

Things You Need To Know About Systematic Theology.pptxDigitalbulbs
Theology in its essence is "knowledge" - a knowledge that is commanded for love (practical knowledge), and a love that resides in wisdom (contemplative knowledge). More specifically,systematic theology is the knowledge about God and all things in relation to God. Before going any further there are some points that you need to follow.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

3. What is theology?
• In its most basic form, the word theology would
mean the study of God.
• We do theology when we reason and discourse
about the nature, will, and purposes of God.
• However, we cannot study God. God cannot be the
direct object of human research.
4. What is theology?
If we cannot study God, how can we discern his
nature, will, and purposes?
• We can know the Lord indirectly through two
sources: (a) God’s revelation and (b) people’s faith.
• Theology, then, is the systematic study of divine
revelation and human faith.
5. The Roman Catholic
theologian Anselm
defined theology as faith
seeking understanding.
We reason and discourse
about God because we
believe in him, and we
want to discover more
about his nature and
purposes so that we can
live according his will.
Faith seeking understanding
6. THE GOAL OF THEOLOGY
What is the goal of theology?
7. The goal of theology is discern
the will of God in our
generation and context, so
that we might live and act in
ways that are faithful to his
nature and purposes. This is
the goal across the sub-
disciplines.
Theology is the systematic
study of God’s revelation and
of people’s faith. Its goal is to
restate the implications of
God’s revelation for our
context so that we might
believe and live in a way that is
faithful to God’s will.
What is the goal of theology?
8. THE TASK OF THEOLOGY
How must theology go about its task to achieve its goal?
9. What are the tasks of theology?
If the goal of theology is
discern the will of God in our
context, so that we might live
and act in ways that are
faithful to him, then it has
many implications for the way
we approach the task. Here
are some non-negotiables:
1. God-focused
2. Bible-based
3. Christ-centred
4. Spirit-led
5. Mission-minded
10. What are the tasks of theology?
If the goal of theology is
discern the will of God in our
context, so that we might live
and act in ways that are
faithful to him, then it has
many implications for the way
we approach the task. Here
are some non-negotiables:
6. Historically-informed
7. Context-sensitive
8. Practically-applied
9. Scientifically-plausible
11. THE BRANCHES OF THEOLOGY
What is the relationship between the theological sub-
disciplines?
12. How is theology sub-divided?
• Theology is fundamentally a single discipline! The various
sub-disciplines contribute important perspectives on the
whole of theology.
• Each theological sub-discipline contributes towards a holistic
understanding of the will of God for our context. Theology is a
single discipline tasked with discerning and restating God’s
will for our context. It can only do so by taking into account
the perspective that each sub-discipline contributes.
13. This is an inadequate way to
view the relationship between
the sub-disciplines. It implies
that each subdiscipline is
essentially separate from the
others, and that theology is
fragmented into its sub-
disciplines.
How is theology sub-divided?
14. This is a better way to view
the relationship between
the sub-disciplines. It
shows that theology is a
single, holistic field of
study. Each sub-discipline
contributes valuable
perspective to the whole.
How is theology sub-divided?
15. THE METHODS OF THEOLOGY
What are the attitudes and techniques by which we do
theology?
16. Theology can mean
‘reasoning and discoursing
about God’. We do
theology by thinking and
speaking about God’s
word and our faith.
• Hermeneutical:
we interpret
• Critical:
we re-evaluate
• Dialogical:
we discuss
• Correlational:
we compare
The Methods
18. • We can only do theology to the extent that we have
a clear vision of what theology is and, flowing from
that vision, a clear commitment regarding how it
should be done.
• Theology is faith seeking understanding through
reasoning and discoursing about God. We seek to
know God’s nature, will, and purposes through a
Bible-based, Christ-centred, and Spirit-led approach.
