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).

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).

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
God is the Creator. Part II
By Joey Carroll In the Bible, God reveals who He is, what He has done, and what He has promised to do.

God is the Creator

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…
Is the Doctrine of Propitiation Really Biblical?
By Jordan A. Hoge A major component of the penal substitutionary atonement theory is the doctrine of Jesus Christ’s propitiatory sacrifice for sin. The theory of penal substitutionary atonement tells of Jesus’ loving endurance, absorption, and exhaustion the divine wrath of God to provide salvation for those who were deserving of the wrath Jesus bore.[1] … Continue reading Is the Doctrine of Propitiation Really Biblical?
Why are Quiet Times Important?
By Audrey Christensen Last month, Texas was hit with a major winter storm. I’m sure you saw the news, but it was a big deal. Jonathan and I were snowed in for almost the whole week, and it was a really nice, restful time, but it knocked me off my usual morning routine. Instead of … Continue reading Why are Quiet Times Important?
The Doctrine of Creation
By Joey Carroll Image by Free-Photos from Pixaby. The doctrines and teachings of Scripture are so profoundly important. I am convinced that the crippled church that we live in today is due to the puny pulpit of days past that forsook the proclamation of God’s Holy Word. The preachers of yesterday as well as today … Continue reading The Doctrine of Creation
