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. And … Continue reading God is Merciful →

By Audrey Christensen What does it mean when we say something is holy? Maybe we mean “good,” but even that word has become distorted. (I think chocolate chip cookies are good.) 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.

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →
