Theology You Can Count On: Experiencing What the Bible Says about. . .
Overview
For many people, the word "theology" suggests seminary-educated scholars who sit in ivory towers, isolated from the real world, studying the Bible. Such study is often viewed as esoteric and unrelated to the world where men and women live, work, play, raise families, and struggle with the realities of day-to-day life. Nothing could be further from the truth.
What we think about God, also known as theology, influences what we believe, do, and say. And what we think, whether true or false, makes a big difference in real life. Tony Evans wants you to know the truth about God, so Theology You Can Count On communicates truths about God in language you can understand. Tony Evans walks through what the Bible teaches, topic by topic, truth by truth.

“Fruit has two characteristics. First, it always reflects the character of the tree of which it is a part. When you bear spiritual fruit, you begin to look like Christ. Second, fruit is never borne for itself. It is always borne so someone else can take a bite. When you start bearing fruit, other people want to take a bite out of your life. Other people want to be like you, because you are a productive person for the purposes of God.” (Page 28)
“God is so holy, His scalpel so absolutely clean, that He is as offended by an evil thought as He is by murder. While there are differences in the consequences of sin, there is no difference in essence.” (Page 64)
“But God says, ‘If you are going to brag, if you really want something to shout about, can you brag that you know Me? Because if you can’t talk about that, you don’t have much to brag about.’” (Page 23)
“By independent I mean that God does not need anything from His created order to enable Him to continue being God. God does not function out of necessity.” (Page 49)
“When you run from God, the trip is always longer and harder than it would be if you stayed with Him.” (Page 115)
