As I teach and interact with people in my Bible classes I’ve found many are confused about the Trinity and so I decided to revise and update my lessons on the Trinity that many have found helpful. These are not hard-to-understand, theological puzzles!
I don’t think God intentionally tries to confuse us, particularly about who He is, but many people simply don’t take the time to look in the Bible and explore what it clearly teaches. This series of lessons does that. [Read more…]
The Trinity is not a concept that is hard to understand, but the reality that describes our God who wants us to know Him. In this series of three lessons, you’ll learn all about it in a way that for many, makes sense.
In this lesson, we talk about how the Trinity is revealed throughout the ENTIRE Bible–if you haven’t looked carefully at this before (and most people haven’t) you’ll be in for some exciting discoveries. [Read more…]
The Trinity is not a concept that is hard to understand, but the reality that describes our God who wants us to know Him. In this series of three lessons you’ll learn all about it in a way that for many, makes sense.
In this lesson, we talk about the substance, or the characteristics that the three persons of the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all share. These are characteristics such as holiness, truth, love, all-power, and then we’ll talk about what these mean to us. [Read more…]
This is Part One of our study of the Trinity. In it I’ll clear up some basic misconceptions about the Trinity and hope to help you see that the Trinity isn’t something esoteric and difficult to understand, but that it is a clear description of the God we love and serve. [Read more…]
All readers of this blog and the subscribers to my newsletter are invited to download a free review of the book, the Trinity, an invitation to love, a pictorial quote collection.
It is a collection of images of quotes about the Trinity. Like the ones below. Click on the first image for a slide show of the quotes.
The book is 8.5 x 11, full-color, glossy finish on the prints, 50 pages, $15.99 on amazon.com.
It can be used as a book of inspiration and personal worship as you think about the wonder of our Triune God. In addition, it is a source of frameable quotes. The images are high quality, full-color, printed on glossy paper. I centered them on the front of the pages; they are blank on the back side; and you can cut them apart and use however you want!

It’s common to hear, even from those who seem very knowledgeable about the Christian faith and the Bible that “the Trinity is very hard to understand” or that “the Trinity is a mystery,” or a similar statement.
I STRONGLY disagree! Our God wants us to know Him and understand Him and I don’t believe the essential doctrine of the Trinity is difficult when it is explained correctly and supported from what the Bible clearly teaches. That’s what this lesson attempts to do, using clear explanations and infographics, available as free downloads. Many people have found it helpful and I trust you will also.
Every false cult and false religion has at its base an incorrect understanding of the Trinity.
From the earliest days of the Christian faith and the early creeds, a correct understanding of the Trinity has been recognized as an essential doctrine to understand. Yet today many people think it is too difficult when it isn’t. [Read more…]
Many people believe that the idea of the Trinity is one of the most difficult to understand in the Christian faith. I very much disagree!
God does not intentionally confuse us as to who He is; He desires a relationship with us. He gave us Creation, His Word, and ultimately sent Jesus to earth as God in human flesh so we could know Him. With all of that, the question comes up of why then do people think that understanding the Trinity is difficult? [Read more…]
To many, the Trinity is especially hard to understand in the Old Testament, particularly when we look at the Shema, which says “our God is One.” How can that key belief support the idea of the Trinity? [Read more…]
In the first lesson, on the Trinity, we looked at how the members of the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are uncreated, co-equal, and eternal persons. In this lesson we look at what makes them ONE God and that is their attributes or substance. [Read more…]
In contrast to views the widely held, but totally incorrect view that the Trinity is “like ice, water, and steam” which is, in reality, the ancient heresy of Modalism that has God morphing into various forms as God the Father in the Old Testament becoming God the Son in the New Testament, and becoming God the Holy Spirit today, this lesson will demonstrate how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are uncreated, co-equal, and eternal persons.
