Systematic theology. Is a discipline which addresses theological topics one by one (e.g.
God , Sin , Humanity ) and attempts to summarize all the biblical teaching on each particular subject. Sometimes called or even , the goal is to present the major themes (i.e. doctrines ) of the Christian faith in an organized and ordered overview that remains faithful to the biblical witness.

Systematic theology. Why I Changed My Mind About the Millennium. Editor's Note: What doctrine or issue have you changed your mind about?
TGC posed that question to several pastors, theologians, and other thinkers in order to gain a better understanding of what leads to shifts along the theological spectrum. Sam Storms launches this new series with an explanation of how he changed his views on the millennium. Although I grew up in a Southern Baptist church and was regularly exposed to Scripture, I can't recall ever hearing anything about a "millennial" kingdom, much less the variety of theories regarding its meaning and relationship to the second coming of Christ.
Like many of my generation, my initial exposure to biblical eschatology was in reading Hal Lindsey's Late Great Planet Earth during the summer of 1970. Not long thereafter I purchased a Scofield Reference Bible and began to devour its notes and underline them more passionately than I did the biblical text on which they commented. Questioning Premillennialism My Unpardonable Sin. Infant Salvation: Savoy Declaration of Faith 10:3 by Robert E. Davis. By Robert E.
Davis, Pastor What is the eternal state of infants who die? 1 The question is of the utmost importance. High infant mortality rates still plague much of the world. In developed nations we know of crib deaths and of course the horror of abortion, 47 million of the latter in America over the last forty years. The question of infant salvation is suspended on the doctrine of God’s saving grace, without which there is no hope of reconciliation with God, deliverance from sin, or entrance into heaven.

Today I continue this series with a stop in Philippians 4:8. This is the first of the graphics that answers a request from one of the readers of this site and is also the first to seek to display Scripture rather than theology (to draw a potentially-perilous line!). The much-loved words of Philippians 4:8 read as follows: “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
In this graphic we’ve attempted to both portray and explain the verse. I hope you enjoy it! If you would like the graphic in high-resolution, you can download it in JPG or PDF.
