By Cody Anderson Have you ever thought about random things, like the shape of clouds or drops of dew in the morning? I mean, do they really matter? What if I told you that something made to be random, like dice, has an outcome fixed by the sovereign hand of God? Proverbs 16:33 says, “The … Continue reading The Sovereign God, Part 1

The Immutability of God
By Joey Carroll As we continue looking at God, we come to another attribute of God that is of necessity. When God is described as immutable that means that He is devoid of all change. He is unchangeable in His being or essence, in His character, in His purposes, and in His promises. It is … Continue reading The Immutability of God
Omnipotent God
By Audrey Christensen When we say God is omnipotent, we mean that God is all-powerful. We have already established that God is omniscient (all-knowing) and omnipresent (all-present). However, in talking about God’s omnipotence, we must now make a theological statement. It seems obvious that God knows everything and that, as Spirit, He is fully present … Continue reading Omnipotent God
The Ever-Present God
By Sarah Wootten “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!” (1 Kings 8:27, ESV). As Solomon was praying at the dedication of the Temple, he knew the small, earthly structure he built could not contain the … Continue reading The Ever-Present God
Omniscient God: Infinite Knowledge and Wisdom
By Cody Anderson The old saying that there are only two things for certain–death and taxes–is another way of stating that this world is filled with uncertainty. We also know that if we ask mom for something and she says, “maybe,” that actually means “no.” But can you think of a world with no “maybes” … Continue reading Omniscient God: Infinite Knowledge and Wisdom

This revelation is the basis for our response to God in worship, service, and obedience to His Word. One of the most significant ways that God has revealed Himself is through Creation. There … Continue reading God is the Creator. Part II
God is the Creator
By Sarah Wootten “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1, ESV). God created everything. Day, night, moon, stars, sea, land, fish, birds, animals, mankind — all of it was made by God. This is the very first action recorded in the Bible, and it reveals a great deal about God. … Continue reading God is the Creator
The Eternality of God
By Audrey Christensen One of the most central qualities of God is His eternality. That is, God exists without beginning or end. The fact that God was, is, and is to come is so significant that the whole of Scripture begins with: “In the beginning, God…” (Genesis 1:1). God was there in the beginning, but … Continue reading The Eternality of God
God is…
By Joey Carroll God is… what you would say next is obviously of great importance because it would certainly ascribe some characteristic or trait to God. Or you might simply use a word that communicates your belief or disbelief in the reality of God. In fact, not saying anything but simply leaving that phrase “as … Continue reading God is…
God’s Battle Plan for the Mind: The Puritan Practice of Biblical Meditation by David W. Saxton
By Audrey Christensen What’s your first reaction when someone mentions meditation? Maybe you recoil, roll your eyes, or awkwardly avoid that person for the rest of your life. Until recently, I would have had a similar reaction to any mention of meditation. This summer, our Fort Worth church’s women’s ministry is studying through God’s Battle … Continue reading God’s Battle Plan for the Mind: The Puritan Practice of Biblical Meditation by David W. Saxton
