INTRO: The attribute of God we are considering this morning is the omnipotence of God. But before we do that, let me give you a little side line. In Christian circles, we often speak of ‘theology'. What we really mean is ‘doctrine'. A doctrine is the systematic teaching of a biblical topic like, the doctrine of man, or the doctrine of the Holy Spirit etc… So we call the doctrine of man, anthropology. All these ‘ology' words are made up of two words. The ‘ology' part has to do with ‘logos' which means a ‘word'. In anthropology the anthropos part means man. So it is ‘words about man' or we call it anthropology. So it is with all these words. When we come to the doctrine of God it is theos, which means God and logos, word; and so we have a word about God or theology.
So in Christendom we call both doctrine and the doctrine of God theology. So which one is actually theology? Well, it is the doctrine of God. Because of that we call doctrine theology, and the doctrine of God, theology proper. Now why do we call doctrine theology? I think it is because we like to sound sophisticated. But all that to say this: There are two ways of knowing God. The one way is by what we learn about Him through nature or the Bible, and that is theology. Our messages are truly ‘Theology'.
