The Work of the Holy Spirit | Theology Gals | Episode 19
19/06/2017On this episode of Theology Gals while Ashley is in Italy Coleen is joined by Marissa Namirr. Coleen and Marissa talk about the Holy Spirit's work in our lives and answer some objections to last week's episode Personal Revelation and God's Will. What is cessationism? Information on cessationism Misunderstanding the Holy Spirit We have the Word of God, the full and closed canon “The evangelistic method of Jesus and the apostles was not to urge people to seek direct experiences with God; instead they went about preaching and teaching the Scriptures (see, for instance, Mark 1:14-15). And Jesus did not say that once we have spiritual life we live by direct mystical experience with God; rather, we “live … on every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). That includes the “goo

Private Revelations & the Will of God | Theology Gals | Episode 18
12/06/2017On this episode of Theology Gals Ashley and Coleen discuss whether God talks to us secretly outside of Scripture. They also talk about how we know the will of God. Episode Resources: We've all probably heard people say, “The Lord told me….” But does God really talk to us audibly outside of Scripture? How does God speak to us today? Hebrews 1:1&2 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. Rod Rosenbladt says of this passage, “... the writer of the epistle to the Hebrews makes very clear that God has revealed Himself most clearly in the incarnate Son (Heb. 1:1–2) and that, correlatively, we Christians living between the First and Second Advents are not to expect a repetition of the “various ways” of God’s self-revelation in what the writer calls “times past.”” Thus Saith the Lord? by Rod Rosenbladt Hebrews 4:12 For the word of Go

Theology Gals | Episode 15 | Suffering
22/05/2017On this episode of Theology Gals Ashley and Coleen discuss suffering. They talk about what Scripture says about the reasons why we may suffer, how we should respond to our suffering and how we can encourage others who are suffering. (We had a couple technical difficulties during this episode. A hail storm hit Coleen's home in Colorado towards the end of the episode and can be heard.) Episode notes: There are many kinds of suffering. We face short term trials, and we can may experience very difficult and long term suffering. While the Lord may discipline us for our good, suffering is not always the result of sin or discipline: 7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of sp

Theology Gals | Episode 9 | Can We Have Assurance?
10/04/2017On this episode of Theology Gals Coleen and Ashley discuss assurance. Can we have assurance and what is is the basis of our assurance? Join us next week when we have a very special guest to talk about Covenant Theology. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. [Hebrews 11:1] 1.Can a Christian have assurance? We can and should have assurance One of the problems is in our attempt at assurance we look to ourselves for it, instead of Christ. One thing which came out of the reformation was law/gospel distinctions, understanding the difference between justification and sanctification. There's a tendency for people to look to the law for their assurance instead of the gospel. While our growth in obedience may strengthen our assurance, it is not the ground of it. Rod Rosenbladt says “The Gospel is for Christians too.” Dr. R Scott Clark “The fruit of faith strengthens our assurance but it is not the basis of it. The sole basis/ground of assurance is Christ’s righteousness

Theology Gals | Episode 5 | The Shack & Christian Discernment
08/03/2017Podcast Information and Episode Resources On tonight's episode of Theology Gals, special guest host Ashley Bacon joins Coleen to talk about The Shack and Christian Discernment. Please check out our article and resource sheet on The Shack which we previously released. These are the resources mentioned in the podcast episode. What is Heresy? “Heresy is a false teaching about the essential doctrines of our faith – the ones we must adhere to, regarding who God is, who Jesus is, salvation by grace, and Jesus’ resurrection.” What is Heresy? by Amy Spreeman CARM (Christian Apologetics & Resource Ministry) says about heresy, “Heresy is a belief or idea that is in contradiction to orthodoxy. In the context of Christianity, heresy is that which deviates from standard biblical teaching.” What is blasphemy? CARM says, “Blasphemy is speaking evil of God or denying Him some good which we should attribute to Him. It could also be understood to be acting in any impious, mocking or contemptuous way toward any mem

Theology Gals | Episode 4 | What Does it Mean to be Reformed?
01/03/2017A common question that's asked in the Theology Gals facebook group is, “What is Reformed?” When someone asks this question, it is answered with a variety of descriptions. One reason why this happens is that the understanding of what it means has evolved in recent years, and now has a far broader definition than it once did. Historically, the adjective Reformed has had a specific definition. R Scott Clark explains, “I have argued that there is a stable, historic, definition of the adjective: God’s Word as confessed (theology, piety, and practice) by the Reformed churches. As a matter of history, there was no doubt as to what was meant by the qualifier Reformed from the mid-16th century until about the mid-20th century.” I would agree with Dr. Clark that there is a historic definition and I am in agreement with how he has defined it. There have been various confessions since the time of the reformation which have been considered Reformed; today the most commonly used are the Westminster Standards and The T

Theology Gals | Episode 3 | Catechism and Confession
22/02/2017On this episode of Theology Gals Coleen and Ashley discuss confessionalism, the purpose and benefits of Confessions and Catechisms. Episode Resources: A creed is a brief statement of faith used to list important truths, to clarify doctrinal points and to distinguish truth from error. Creeds are usually worded to be easily memorized. The word creed comes from the Latin word credo, meaning, "I believe." The Bible contains a number of creed-like passages. For example, Jews used the Shema, based on Deuteronomy 6:4-9, as a creed. Paul wrote simple creed-like statements in 1 Corinthians 8:6; 12:3 and 15:3-4. 1 Timothy 3:16 also appears as a creed, a concise statement of belief https://www.gci.org/history/creeds “God’s Word as confessed (theology, piety, and practice) by the Reformed churches.” R. Scott Clark Regarding the reformed confessions: “These are the ecclesiastical summaries of the Christian faith in the Reformed tradition. In these documents, the churches expressed their official interpretation of God’

Theology Gals Episode 2 | Calvinism
15/02/2017On this episode Coleen and Ashley discuss Calvinism, what it is, why we believe it, it's history and some wrong ideas about it. Episode Resources: Five Points of Calvinism TULIP Total depravity: Our bondage to sin in Adam is complete in its extensiveness, though not in its intensity. In other words, we’re not as bad as we can possibly be, but original sin has thoroughly corrupted every aspect of our existence — including the will. Unconditional election: Out of his lavish grace, the Father chose out of the fallen race a people from every race to be redeemed through his Son and united to his Son by his Spirit. This determination was made in eternity, apart from anything foreseen in the believer. Limited Atonement or Particular redemption, definite atonement: Christ’s death is sufficient for the whole world, but secured the redemption of the elect. Irresistible Grace or Effectual grace: The Holy Spirit unites sinners to Christ through the gospel and faith is the effect, not the cause, of the new bir

Theology Gals | Episode 1 | Women and Theology
07/02/2017Introducing Theology Gals. Meet Coleen and Ashley. On this episode the ladies discuss why theology is important for women too. Check out Coleen's article, Theology is for Women Too Episode Resources: “Whether you realize it or not, you are a theologian. You come to a book like this with a working theology, an existing understanding of God. Whether you are an agnostic or a fundamentalist — or something in between — you have a working theology that shapes and informs the way you think and live. However, I suspect that you are reading this book because you’re interested in examining your theology more closely. You are open to having it challenged and strengthened. You know that theology — the study of God — is more than an intellectual hobby. It’s a matter of life and death, something that affects the way you think, the decisions you make each day, the way you relate to God and other people, and the way you see yourself and the world around you.” ― Michael S. Horton, Pilgrim Theology: Core Doctrines for Christia
