This is a site managed by John Mielke. It is an outgrowth of the Theologic Foundations class taught at Bethlehem Baptist Church.
Many of the posts are in response to questions posed by students during class that require more in depth responses, links to other resources, or a vehicle to write about other theologic topics.
It is my hope that these occasional posts will encourage my students and others to fulfill Paul’s command to Timothy in his second letter (2:7), “Think over what I say, for The Lord will give you understanding in everything.”
