So many people today believe that they get along just fine without God. A pandemic hits and they don’t even think of God. God, they maintain, is an optional extra – good for you, but not for them. Sadly, we can sometimes live independent from God, as though he doesn’t even exist. Or, we call…
Come Down, Lord #2 – Does God Notice?
As Isaiah prays, “Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,” he has some specific pictures in mind (Isaiah 64:1). He was concerned for his country. He could foresee the Babylonians coming in, ravaging the land, taking the people into captivity, leaving their homeland utterly desolate. Did God notice? “Look down from heaven…
Come Down, Lord #1 – Come Down
God is present everywhere. Yet the consistent language of heaven where God dwells is always up! Psalm 123:1 says, “I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.” Since God is “up” in heaven, we invite God to “come down”, visit us in power, and manifest his very real presence…

God’s omnipotence, God can do anything – he considers God’s omni-righteousness, God is holy. “If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty! They speak of…

Actually, God cannot do many things. God cannot lie. God cannot break his promises. God cannot be tempted with evil. God cannot tempt people. God cannot learn. God cannot change. God cannot sin. God cannot fail. God cannot save those who refuse to obey him. God cannot make you love him. When we ask for…
God Unlimited #3 – God is Everywhere
Where do we begin in answering the question, “Where is God?” God manifests his presence in particular places and situations. But he himself is present everywhere at the same time. In the Old Testament, God met with his people in particular places – in a bright cloud of glory, at the tent in the wilderness,…

Google states, “In a fraction of a second, Google’s Search algorithms sort through hundreds of billions of webpages in our Search index to find the most relevant, useful results for what you’re looking for.” David wrote: “You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you…
