Does God suffer?

By Timothy Gatewood | March 28, 2019 | 0

Is God passible or impassible? Why is it theologically unsound to say that God suffers in our suffering, difficulty, and pain? If God experiences emotional change, does that throw God’s immutability into question? Can we trust a God who is subject to alteration or loss? In this new Credo video, Matthew Barrett discusses God’s impassibility,…

A Look Inside the New Issue of Credo Magazine

By Timothy Gatewood | March 28, 2019 | 0

The new issue of Credo Magazine has arrived: The Impassibility of God. Does he experience emotional change? Is he subject to mood swings like his creatures? And does God suffer like we do?

By Timothy Gatewood | March 25, 2019 | 0

When I was a seminary student, John Piper encouraged us not to turn to the Bible with a cold heart. He recommended reading someone who would regularly stir our affections in a short space of time (i.e., 5-7 minutes) before turning to Scripture. I began to “experiment” with many different theologians and I quickly found…

The Importance of Ecclesiology in Church Planting

By Timothy Gatewood | March 22, 2019 | 0

Church planting is a culture all of its own. Church planters often look different, think different, and act different than the typical pastor we experienced growing up.

None Greater: Matthew Barrett on the Undomesticated Attributes of God (Part 2)

By Timothy Gatewood | March 19, 2019 | 0

What does it mean for God to be the perfect being? How can we discuss individual attributes of God when God is simple–identical with his attributes and undivided in his essence? What are the consequences for the Christian life if we reject God’s impassibility? How do we interpret scripture when it says God repents? How can…
