Kitchen Table Theology
Where Coffee, Conversation, and Theology Meet. During my 40 years in ministry, I’ve developed an increasing burden for what I sense to be an increase in biblical illiteracy, not only among those in our churches, but also in the young men and women entering the ministry. Conversely, I am hopeful, because I also sense a hunger from people to learn and know biblical truth and the things of God has revealed to us in Scripture. Our Kitchen Table Theology team has developed a list of over 150 doctrinal topics which I, along with one of my cohosts, Jen Denton or Tiffany Coker, examine weekly. Our goal is to educate and share biblical truth on the same level as if we were sitting at your kitchen table with a Bible and a pot of southern pecan coffee in front of us. Welcome to the table!

Episode Summary
We are continuing our study of the doctrine of the Person of God and focus in this episode on the Holiness of God.
Topics We Discussed in this Episode
● [6:57] The first song in Scripture appears in Exodus 15; the last song can be found in Revelation 15. And both have as their shared focus the holiness of God.
● [12:23] What sets this attribute of God apart from all of the others is that holiness never occupies second place among His characteristics. Scripture places a supreme emphasis on the premium of God’s holiness.
● [13:54] Holiness is God’s central attribute; it is His unique characteristic. To be holy is to be distinct, separate, or unique.
● [15:05] When we say that God is holy, we are not talking about one characteristic out of many about God; we are talking about the character of God Himself.
● [19:16] Holiness also means that God is set apart from anything impure.
● [20:55] What difference does God’s holiness make my in my life?
