What will happen when Christ returns? In this episode, we consider J.I. Packer’s clear and hopeful summary of the Second Coming of Christ—a future, personal, visible, and triumphant return. This isn’t speculation—it’s certainty. Jesus will return to judge, to rescue, and to restore. Until then, we live in readiness, longing for the day when faith becomes sight.

Concise Theology: Mortality
What does it mean to die well? In this episode, J.I. Packer reminds us that mortality is not the end of the story. For believers, death is an enemy—but a defeated one, conquered by Christ. Packer encourages us to face death not with denial, but with hope, readiness, and confidence in the resurrection. To live wisely is to live in light of eternity.

Concise Theology: Unpardonable Sin
What is the unpardonable sin—and should believers be afraid of committing it? In this episode, Packer defines this sin not as ordinary backsliding or doubt, but as a deliberate, persistent rejection of the Holy Spirit’s witness to Christ. We offer assurance to tender consciences and clarity about God’s mercy. If you fear you’ve committed this sin, that very concern may be the evidence you haven’t.

Concise Theology: Perseverance
Can a true Christian fall away? In this episode, we explore Packer’s comforting and clarifying answer: God keeps His own. Perseverance is not about holding on tight—it’s about being held by God’s sovereign grace. True believers may stumble, struggle, and even wander, but they will not ultimately fall away. Why? Because the same God who saves also sustains—from first to last.

Concise Theology: The State
What is the role of government in God’s plan? In this episode, J.I. Packer explains how the state is ordained by God to preserve justice, punish evil, and promote order. While fallen and limited, civil authority is a legitimate and necessary institution. Christians are called to respect, pray for, and participate in public life—without confusing the kingdom of man with the kingdom of God.
