Here is an irony: We can love arguing for God while neglecting a love of God. We can love thinking about God more than loving God himself. We can love the emotion of worship at the cost of loving God. We can love perfected theology more than we care for the Creator. We can love …

God is News to Satan
In Genesis 3, the news of who God is and what God is like was experienced first-hand by Satan. The news also came to Adam and Eve. Indeed, all of Genesis is the revelation of God to His creatures. For us readers, and for those who directly experienced His activities — Satan included — the …
Is God Outside of Time?
Is time a noun? Is time a thing? Is God inside or outside of it? I am going to propose that time is a way of describing and tracking the sequenced experience of events, and that thinking of it as a noun or a thing (that God is inside or outside of) is not critical …
Nativity Statues of Jesus
Christ our King is in enthroned in Heaven. Jesus is God. Though we cannot see him, he reigns. If we make little carved statues of him, is that like making wooden idols? What does the nativity have to do with this commandment from Exodus 20:4: You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or …
Downloadable Truth… Is it Healthy?
The preaching of Jesus is a chief treasure of all real churches (Acts 5:42; Rom 1:15; Eph 4:11; 1 Cor 1:17; 1 Cor 1:21; 1 Cor 9:18; 1 Cor 15:2; 2 Tim 4:2; Titus 1:3; 1 Peter 1:25; etc.). Jesus wants a Church where he is preached faithfully, and he wants his people gathered to …
What do dying people ask for?
Jesus washed the feet of his disciples (John 13:5), and then he explained to them the union of self denial with the Kingdom of God. In that explanation, he said some strange, wonderful and necessary things about prayer and how he would grant what we ask: Whatever you ask in my name, this I will …
The Trinity
The Bible teaches the Trinity. When we say, “Father, Son and Holy Spirit”, we still affirm that there is only one True God; there are not three distinct gods being indicated by that phrase. The Bible teaches that Jesus is God. Likewise, we learn from the Bible that Jesus, the Son, prayed to His Heavenly …
Paul’s Theology Hinges on this: Jesus is God.
The Greek word in the New Testament for God is “theos.” But God by any other name is still God. His titles, his role (especially as Creator) and his glory are befitting nobody other than God alone. That means that when we see Jesus adorned with the unique titles and praises of God, we know …
Jesus is God
The life-blood of Christianity is this: Jesus is God, the Father is God and the Holy Spirit is God. The Father is not Jesus the Son. The Son is not the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is not the Father. And yet, there are not three gods, there is only one God. This teaching …
