Organized by Theme
click theme below for information on and examples of each Rainbow Scaffold theme.
Purple: The Purpose of God
The Eternal Plan of the Ancient of Days is found in time words in the Bible: terms like “everlasting,” “for generations,” “age to age” reflect this plan from the beginning.
Dark Blue: The Character of God
Who God is and how God is are shown by his self-declarations and his deeds, especially understood through the Bible.
Orange: Covenant God
He keeps his people under his faithful, loving care, and his people are to be responding to him likewise in a committed, faithful way.
The People of God respond to Covenant a certain way–in trust and obedience. God-haters respond to Covenant a certain way–in assaulting God’s people and in blaspheming. So God’s Covenant also functions as a Separation Filter.
Green: Architect God
He weighs and measures our deeds and sets forth the plumb line in conscience and his Word.
Yellow: Separation Filters
Life sorts people into two groups by their choices, and specific opportunities are given to force that choice, proving what that person is.
Pink: Pleasure
Good things in this world either pull us away into idolatry or draw us to God as the source of all joy and contentment.
Brown: Suffering
Pain and suffering in this world either push us into anger toward God and atheism or into a deeper trust of his ways.
Red: Wisdom of the Wise
How we answer the big questions and how we weigh the ungodly principles of this world sift us into a self-serving life or a deeper faith and trust of God’s Word.
Light Blue: Up is Down
The only way to know God is by going down. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. He requires humility and repentance, both requiring a submission to the manner God requires.
Light Green: Heavens Declare
All things in nature find their source in the creative mind of God, so all aspects of science and reason are intended teach us the character and nature of God, often as analogies.
