The Meaning of "the World" and the Problem of Pleasure
The apostle John talks about “the world” in dramatically different ways. In John 3:16 we read that “God so loved the world…” but in his first epistle, John tells us “not to love the world or anything in the world.” How should we understand this and how does it influence our understanding of our attitudes toward pleasure? Dr. Gary Thomas presents a lecture on this topic. Redemption Seminary uses lecture content like this to produce studies that are the building blocks for its courses. Work through this short study and see if it helps with your daily growth in grace and understanding of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

What is theology for?
The real work of theology is indeed farming. The purpose of Scripture and its interpretation is to grow healthy disciples who understand what God has done in Christ and desire to live along the grain of the created order made new in Christ. Theology is about eschatologically-enhanced farming—reaping the firstfruit of eternal life in the power of the Spirit.
How Luther Reformed Marriage
Luther elevated marriage and family life; in one scholar’s words, he “placed the home at the center of the universe.” His teaching and practice were so radical, so long-lasting, some scholars have argued that other than the church “the home was the only sphere of life which the Reformation profoundly affected.”
