Paragraph 1 teaches that God created Adam and Eve in a state of holiness, upright and innocent, yet with the freedom to obey or disobey. Tempted by Satan, they voluntarily chose sin, falling from their original righteousness. This fall was not forced but deliberate, and it brought immediate spiritual death and separation from God. The rebellion of our first parents marked the beginning of humanity’s misery.

While the Bible claims to be God-breathed, many alternative theories attempt to redefine inspiration. From mechanical dictation to natural intuition, these flawed views either exalt man or diminish Scripture. In this post, we examine and refute the most common false theories of inspiration and reaffirm why only verbal, plenary inspiration upholds the Bible’s authority.

What does it mean to say the Bible is “inspired”? Scripture claims not only divine origin but divine breath. In this post, we explore the doctrine of inspiration—how God used human writers to produce His perfect Word, why every word matters, and how this doctrine secures our confidence in Scripture’s authority and trustworthiness.

Systematic theology organizes biblical truth into coherent categories to help believers understand, teach, and live according to God’s Word. This post defines systematic theology, explains its biblical roots, outlines its major doctrines, and highlights its importance in shaping a faithful life and church. A Reformed framework makes it Scripture-centered and Christ-exalting.

Paragraph 7 teaches that God's providence reveals the variety, wisdom, and justice of His purposes. His dealings with people differ—some are hardened, others are softened, yet all serve to display His glory. The elect experience mercy, restoration, and sanctification through providence, while the reprobate may be restrained for a time before judgment. God’s providence is not uniform but purposeful. Each circumstance, whether blessing or affliction, unfolds exactly as He inten

The tested mind clings to truth in the midst of suffering. This post explores how systematic theology equips believers to endure trials with a mind anchored in God's promises. When pain challenges what we believe, doctrine stabilizes our thoughts and fuels perseverance, turning suffering into sanctification through truth.

God has not left humanity in darkness. Through dreams, visions, mighty acts, and the incarnate Word—Jesus Christ—God has personally revealed Himself. This is special revelation. Unlike general revelation, which is available to all, special revelation provides the knowledge necessary for salvation. In this post, we explore its forms, beauty, and ultimate purpose.

Paragraph 6 affirms that God exercises providence over the wicked just as He does over His people. While He restrains and governs their actions, He does not sanctify their hearts or renew their wills. Their sin proceeds from their own corrupt nature, yet even their rebellion is used to fulfill God’s purposes. God may withhold His restraints for judgment or allow them to fall deeper into sin. For believers, this truth strengthens our trust in God’s justice. The wicked are not

The Christlike mind reflects humility, obedience, and selfless devotion to God. This post explores how systematic theology helps believers imitate Christ’s thoughts, priorities, and attitude. As we study and apply sound doctrine, the Spirit forms within us the mindset of Christ, shaping how we live, love, and serve others.

General revelation is God’s testimony to all people, in all places, at all times. Through the created order, the human conscience, and the patterns of providence, God declares His power and nature. Though it cannot save, general revelation leaves all humanity without excuse. In this post, we explore the beauty, purpose, and limitations of general revelation.

Paragraph 5 teaches that God’s providence sometimes allows His elect to experience discipline and hardship due to their sins. This is not rejection but fatherly correction. God uses affliction to humble, refine, and restore His children. Even when He hides the light of His face, He never removes His covenant love. His providence includes both comfort and chastening, working always for our sanctification. For the believer, this brings assurance: suffering is never wasted.

The illuminated mind is the Spirit-enabled capacity to understand God’s truth. This post explains how illumination transforms spiritual blindness into discernment, allowing believers to grow in knowledge and obedience. Systematic theology builds on this Spirit-given light, forming a clear, Christ-centered understanding of Scripture.

Paragraph 4 teaches that even the sinful actions of creatures occur under God’s providential rule. He permits them, limits them, and directs them for His holy purposes—yet without authoring or approving of sin. God’s sovereignty never violates the creature’s responsibility, and His holiness is never compromised. He uses evil to fulfill His purposes (e.g., Joseph’s betrayal, Christ’s crucifixion), yet remains untouched by guilt.

Paragraph 3 explains that God usually works through ordinary means—natural laws, human decisions, and everyday events—to accomplish His providence. However, He is also free to work without, above, or against those means when it pleases Him. Whether by quiet preservation or miraculous intervention, God is always in control. Scripture shows examples of both patterns. For the believer, this brings comfort: God is always at work, whether visibly or invisibly.

The renewed mind is transformed by God’s truth and resists conformity to the world. This post explores how systematic theology aids that renewal, shaping how believers think, discern, and live. Through Scripture and sound doctrine, the Christian mind is sanctified for worship and wisdom, reflecting the will of God in a confused age.

Paragraph 2 teaches that God's providence is not limited to believers or major events—it extends to all creation and every action. From the greatest angel to the smallest insect, everything is ordered, preserved, and governed by God’s will. He works through both ordinary and extraordinary means, displaying His care, power, and wisdom in all things. Nothing in the universe escapes His hand. This truth assures believers that the world is not spinning out of control.

The redeemed mind is transformed by grace and shaped by truth. This post explores how salvation renews the mind, making it receptive to God’s Word and aligned with Christ. Systematic theology helps structure the redeemed mind with sound doctrine, cultivating discernment, humility, and a life of worship rooted in truth.

Paragraph 1 teaches that God, in His infinite power and wisdom, upholds, directs, and governs all His creatures and all their actions by His providence. Nothing happens by chance. Every moment is under the sovereign control of the same God who created the world. Yet He does this in such a way that His holiness is never compromised and His purposes always prevail. For the believer, this truth is a source of profound comfort: no matter what unfolds, we are not at the mercy of f

Systematic theology plays a vital role in renewing and disciplining the Christian mind. This post explores how sound doctrine shapes how we think, helping believers discern truth, confront error, and grow in Christlike understanding. Theology trains the mind for worship, wisdom, and faithful living in a confused world.

Paragraph 2 teaches that God created man—male and female—in His own image, with reason, righteousness, and freedom of will. Adam and Eve were not primitive or morally neutral; they were upright, holy, and able to obey God's law. As image-bearers, they were appointed to steward creation and live in fellowship with God. This truth anchors human dignity, the reality of moral responsibility, and the original goodness of God's design.
