By Audrey Christensen Exodus 34 is a pivotal chapter in the Old Testament because, in it, God characterizes Himself. Moses has recently received–and subsequently broken–the original Ten Commandments, so God is having him remake them. And God says to Moses about Himself: “The LORD descended in the cloud and stood with [Moses] there, and proclaimed … Continue reading God is Gracious →

By Joey Carroll If any characteristic of God is well-known, love would be it. Scripture is certainly clear on the subject. 1 John 4:8 states, “…God is love.” John, the Gospel writer, does not simply describe God’s character as loving, but describes the very essence of God’s nature as love. Without question, the greatest display … Continue reading God is Love →

By Cody Anderson   How many times have you heard, “That’s not fair?” Or how about, “Because I said so.” These are common phrases you probably heard growing up. As we grew up, we realized that life isn’t fair because fair is subjective. Our parents, being the authority in our lives, had the right to … Continue reading The Just God →

By Sarah Wootten When we describe someone as “patient,” we generally mean that someone is good at waiting. Whether a person is waiting on Christmas break or waiting through a difficult season, we most often use the word “patient” to describe contentment while waiting. However, when we describe God as being patient, we mean a … Continue reading God is Patient →

By Joey Carroll The God who created the heavens and the earth has been so thorough in revealing who He is and what He is like. He first revealed His eternal power and divine nature through the act of Creation. He then described Himself with great detail and clarity in His Word, the Bible.

There are other aspects of holiness that we should consider: awe, fear, purity, righteousness, perfection, set-apartness. After all of the characteristics of God that … Continue reading God is Holy →

By Sarah Wootten When you think of the word “faithful,” what is the first thing that comes to mind? Many people think of a marriage, where one spouse remains faithful to the other. Or perhaps a friend that has stuck with you through thick and thin. But, what do we mean when we say that … Continue reading The Faithfulness of God →

By Cody Anderson Last week, I talked about how the Sovereign God rightfully and justly does as He pleases with His creation. He is in control of all things; not one particle is outside His control. To some angels, He bestowed the honor of continually praising Him. To others, He gave the ability to follow … Continue reading The Sovereign God, Part 2 →

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 →

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 →
