Carl’s Theology Homepage:

 

Greetings!!!  My name is Carl Gobelman.  I am a simple Christian who is devoted to learning the word of God—the Bible—and disseminating it to others.  I have no formal theological training, nor am I a professional preacher.  I just enjoy digging into the Bible and sharing with others what I have learned.

 

If what I have shared on this website has helped you in your spiritual walk, please share that with me via e-mail address linked below.

   

This page is dedicated to the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!

“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (II Corinthians 5:21, English Standard Version)

This website’s mission statement:  These verses sum up what this website is all about.  They are taken from Paul’s second letter to Timothy, and really express my heart’s desire!

 

My personal goal:

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”  (II Timothy 2:15, English Standard Version)

 

The motivation of my goal:

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” (II Timothy 3:16-17, English Standard Version)

 

The result of my goal:

“I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.”  (II Timothy 4:1-2, English Standard Version)
