Summary

Carl and Todd engage in a lively discussion today with returning guest Michael Morales, a professor of Biblical Studies at Greenville Theological Seminary. They delve into the concept of God's glory, drawing from Donnie Berry’s book, The Earth Will Be Filled: A Biblical Theology of the Glory of God, which was edited by Michael. According to Donnie Berry, glory refers to all the things the triune God is full of—his wisdom, love, creativity, beauty, strength, compassion, justice, life, joy—made manifest for us to see, to experience, to respond to, and, perhaps most surprisingly, to participate in. The glory of God is the core of who He is, His goodness as God defines it. – Michael Morales Discover how the glory of God is a central theme that runs through Scripture, and why it is crucial to see how it is at the heart of the gospel and of the entire story of the Bible. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at IV Press, we are pleased to offer three copies of The Earth Will Be Filled to our listeners. Enter here to win.

1:24.5	Would that be fair to describe it?
1:27.0	Well, technically, to be considered a megachurch, you have to have 2,000, and we're not quite
1:32.4	there yet. But, you never know. You see, in the OPC, you only need 25. We set the bar somewhat
1:39.0	lower. I was going to say, right, right, exactly. Well, yeah, when you were past, when you served at an OPC church in Philadelphia, you were among the mega churches, because I think you had over 20, right?
1:49.8	I did. Actually, in fact, when we went over 100, one of my friends asked me, so, so which doctrine are you soft peddling on?
1:57.3	Did you now have so many people coming to your church.
