Shawn L. Ozbun is an independent podcaster, author, and commentator of many biblical topics. Shawn is a student of the scriptures, ancient writings, Dead Sea Scrolls, and biblical Hebrew language. Above all, Shawn is passionate about furthering the Kingdom of God and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Shawn’s Theology:

  1. Scripture Alone: The final authority for faith and practice is the Bible alone. (I do believe Christian tradition is valuable, useful and in many cases, very good. However, tradition and church authority should not and cannot conflict with what is clearly written in God’s Holy Word.)
  2. Grace Alone: Our justification and salvation is by grace alone and cannot be earned through works.
  3. Christ Alone: Salvation is received through faith alone and our salvation is based on the merit of Christ alone.
  4. Glory To God Alone: All glory and honor is due to God alone. (I reject prayers to Saints, Mary, and any other person or Angel). Christ is our mediator between us and God; we need no other. (1 Timothy 2:5).
  5. Covenant theology: The Bible is a covenant book between God and people. (I reject Dispensational theology).
  6. True Faith Produces Fruit: Genuine saving faith produces fruit. While works don’t save you, they are the evidence of a transformed life. Actions matter, because your actions demonstrate what you truly believe. I’m being transformed day by day, year by year, moments by moment into the likeness of Christ. Not perfectly so, but increasingly so. I’m not who I want to be, but I’m not who I use to be. “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” (James 2:18).

Eschatology:

Rather than argue over rapture dates and end-time charts, I believe we should be kingdom minded and busy about our Father’s business while we await the return of the King of Kings. We should be making disciples, raising up Churches, loving our neighbors, the widow, those in need, and spreading the gospel to the four corners of the earth. We should walk in victory instead of defeat, which sadly seems to have infected the minds and hearts of many modern-day Christians. So many Christians appear to be living in fear and defeat as if it is Satan who sits on the throne instead of Christ. The Church has forgotten its way, its power, its authority, and its destiny. It is time to awaken, oh sleeping giant, oh Bride of the Highest.

I believe Jesus teaches us to always be ready, praying, and watching for His return. Otherwise, he will come at a time we think not and catch us unprepared. We need to watch and be ready, lest we fall to temptation or think to ourselves our Master has delayed and wonder back into sinful patterns and behaviors. Rather than argue over timing, let us be diligent about sharing the Gospel and growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

With all that said, there is no denying we are living in dark and troublesome times. No doubt the return of our Lord is closer now than ever before. However, I would rather spend my time building, rather than constantly chasing headlines and rabbit holes, of which I am unfortunately guilty in times past. Amen.
