About SoliD FoundationS

Welcome,

SoliD FoundationS is a place to discuss and defend the doctrines of the Orthodox Christian Faith as expressed in the 66 books of the Bible. I wanted a place where i could post thoughts about theology and apologetics, so i thought this was a good place to do so.


"So you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone." Ephesians 2:19-20

The Title
The name SoliD FoundationS is the title of a class that i am teaching at Calvary Chapel La Mirada for new believers. It is a class designed to equip believers of all ages with a solid foundation of knowing what they believe. In a world where competing views are battling for central place in the marketplace of Ideas, my heart was to equip believers to be thinking Christians so that as Ephesians 4:14 states they are not "tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine.


"As are result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming." - Ephesians 4:14

The capital letters comes from the belief that when we have a proper grasp on Sound Doctrine as expressed in a proper interpretation of Scripture we can establish a stable walk grounded in the Truth of God's unchanging Word. When Christians are then faced with the false claims of other religions or cults or just the ever shaky ground of modern relativism, they can stand stable knowing what they believe and then are able to "give a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account."


"But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence." - 1 Peter 3:15

Purpose
So with that in mind, this blog is for that purpose as well. It is a place where we can look at the essential doctrines of the Christian faith as well as other doctrines found within the Scriptures. It is a place to talk about a defense for that faith.

My prayer is that as you continue to read through these posts that you will grow in your knowledge of what you believe as a Christian.

God bless.
