The Privilege of Knowing God Truly
The greatest privilege for humans is the opportunity to know God, but we neither deem this to be a privilege nor do we find this to be something for which our hearts should yearn. This is on account of two factors: the first is that we have a low view of God, and the second […]
The Sovereignty of God
The sovereignty of God means that God has complete and perfect authority over His creation. Our God is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. R.C. Sproul once noted that “If God is not sovereign, God is not God.” The sovereignty of God is the very Godness of God. His sovereignty is what makes Him […]
The Eternality and Aseity of God
Aseity means that God is sufficient for Himself and that He is autonomous to the extent of complete and perfect independence. Aseity is derived from the two Latin words “a se,” which means “from or by oneself.” Aseity is not a word used in the Bible, but the concept is found throughout the Scriptures. God […]
Strong to Stand: The Duty and Design of Men
Though men possess greater brute strength than women, it is not sufficient to simply recognize it as a brute fact; the greater physical strength and athletic potential of the male sex is only a part of the way that men ought to strive for and embody strength if they wish to embody stability fully. […]
Brutally Honest Worship
Over the past two years, my young children and I have been on a quest to read the entire Bible. Each morning, we snuggle together and progress a little, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book, and we do not skip anything. As you may imagine, this has been no small feat. This […]
The Wisdom of God
The God of the Bible is all-wise and He has wisdom in Himself. Wisdom is distinguished from omniscience, which means that God has all knowledge, so wisdom implies that He knows how to apply and use that knowledge. This attribute is present in all three Persons of the Trinity. In the knowledge of God infinite […]
The Omniscience of God
The omniscience of God means that He is all-knowing. God knows all that exists and all that will come to pass. His knowledge is infinite (1 John 3:20, Ps. 147:5). He knows the large and the small details of all things. His knowledge has no limits, unlike our erroneous and flawed intellect. Nothing surprises God […]
Fighting Sin by Trusting in the Superior Satisfaction
I enjoy a good tale. I cannot get enough of heroic deeds, bravery, and camaraderie, especially when they teach something true about the Christian walk. Growing up, Turner Classic Movies were always playing in my home. Humphrey Bogart, also known as Bogie, was either talking about the beginnings of a beautiful friendship or telling young […]
The Immutability of God
God is Immutable. Immutability means that He does not change. He is unchangeable, unlike the gods fashioned by human reasoning. A mutable creature will make a god in his own image that is like him. In Pakistan, for example, there is a famous song that contains lyrics saying “he has seen God change.” This song […]
The Love of God
The attributes of God are immense and numerous beyond the comprehension of mere creatures like us. We cannot fully grasp them with our finite brains, and our weakness makes it impossible for us to completely understand the excellencies of God to their fullest extent. Yet God has revealed Himself in the Scriptures to some comprehensible […]
