Host: Jeff CranstonCo Host: Jen Denton Episode SummaryIt has been said that the only thing consistent in this life is change. With change everywhere around us, we need something that doesn’t move – doesn’t change – something or Someone on whom we can depend. And that someone is God. The doctrine of Immutability simply means that God is unchangeable. Topics We Discussed in this Episode● [4:34] The doctrine of Immutability simply means that God is unchangeable. God is unchanging in who He is, His being, His purposes, His promises, His character – everything about God is unchanging. ● [7:39] The contrast between being and becoming marks the difference between the Creator and the created. ● [8:59] God is unchanging in both His purposes and His promises. ● [11:48] Does God change his mind?● [16:41] To answer the question, “Why is this important in my day-to-day life?”, let’s ask the question, “What would it be like if God could change?”.Resources We Mentioned in the Show· Jeff referred to a quote in the novel, "Baghdad: The Final Gathering", written by Ahmad Ardalan in the show today: “Sometimes in life, a sudden situation, a moment in time, alters your whole life, [and] forever changes the road ahead.”· Jeff mentioned the Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck’s work, The Doctrine of God.Bible Verses We Mentioned in the Show● Psalm 102:25-27, HCSB● Malachi 3:6, NIV● James 1:17, HSCB● Isaiah 46:9-11, NASB● Numbers 23:19, NIV● 1 Samuel 15:29, NIV● Jonah 3:4, 10, NLTJoin the ConversationWe love your feedback!
