God is…

God is love. We hear that a lot. And I think that's absolutely true. God is love. However, I sometimes wonder if we are understanding the entire scope when we say things like that. To say that "God is love" carries with it a rather distinct meaning from it's inverse, "Love is God." Those two things are not the same. This is very much unlike one of the mathematical theorems that says if a=b then b=a. ...

“Middle” Knowledge

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 by Dan Carrington posted in God's Character | Comments Off

This week, I thought I'd try getting into some things that are not very well-known. Namely, the concept of "middle" knowledge. You're probably wondering what the heck that is and it's my purpose here to do my best to explain the concept. The concept of middle knowledge has been attributed to the sixteenth-century theologian, Luis de Molina. But before we get too far into what this is, it might bear some explanation of a couple of ...

If I Were God…

It seems like there is just no such thing as having too many articles about the "Problem of Evil" in the blogosphere, these days. In the interest of living that out, here's another one. The way I'd like to approach this today is from the perspective of why people feel like the Problem of Evil is as significant as they feel it is. After all, when I hear about people using this to describe their disbelief ...

Omniscience vs. Free Will

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 by Dan Carrington posted in God's Character | 2 Comments »

In a recent atheist podcast that I subscribe to, the hosts were discussing the idea of the omniscience of God and how this somehow contradicts the idea of free will. Their argument was basically that, if God already knows what you're going to do and the things you or I will choose before you do so, then you and I have not choice but to make that choice. Normally, I am quite pleased and even pleasantly surprised ...

Jesus – The Supreme Example of Love

Monday, December 15th, 2008 by Irma Wallace posted in God's Character | 3 Comments »

Jesus gave us the supreme example of enduring love. Hell was what He suffered when He hung on the cross and took our sins on Himself. Not only did He experience separation from His Father, He also endured God's full punishment for our sin. This He did for you and I.

The 5 Senses In Worship

Psalm 24:9 states “The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.” I love this verse! The voice of the LORD is so incredibly powerful. With it He created the heavens and the earth and all things in them; with His voice, He calmed the stormy sea and nature obeyed. All throughout scripture you see “the voice of the Lord”: …”strikes with flashes of lightening” – (psalm 29:7) …”twists the ...

Old Testament God Vs. New Testament God

Sunday, November 18th, 2007 by Ty Wallace posted in God's Character | 4 Comments »

I came across an interesting question by a member of a forum I frequent related to the community I live in. They asked the question, “Why is God so different in both testaments? (Bible - Old and New)” They provided no other details as to what they were referring to, however I’d make a pretty good that guess that they were comparing the differences between God’s grace and God’s wrath. You see the Old Testament is ...
