God is…

Who is greater? What is greater?

God? Or our perception of God?

What else do you have to influence you and your perception?  Well, where do we begin? Where can we begin?

Now, I cannot tell you who God is BUT I could tell you what God is like.  What God’s character is, what God desires, loves, and dislikes.

The Bible is the authority that will accomplish this.

The Bible is THAT example.

The Bible is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  No, God is not IN the Bible but the words, praises, narratives, proverbs, the distinguishable red words. The word of God is living and active. THAT, is God!

God is vengeance, God is gracious, God is jealous, God is maker, God is merciful, God is righteous, God is perfect, God is patient, God is strong, God is eternal, God is glorious, God is just, God is Most High.

Who is God?

God is God.  Elohim. Yahweh. Jesus. Lord of Lords. Prince of Peace. Emmanuel. Righteous. Wonderful Counselor. Mighty God. Eternal Father.

Need more?

In the beginning God…And God said…And God saw that it was good…God was angry…He had mercy…the LORD changed his mind…And God called…God remembered…God heard…LORD God sent…LORD saved…The Mighty One…God loved…Jesus died…God lives…

forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever……….

Scripture must be reestablished as essential to our lives as seekers of God, followers of God, lovers of God.  Books can’t do it, friends can’t do it all, prayer plays a part, faith does too, but the Scripture bring us home.  Other religious texts shed no amount of equality to this text. No amount of self-help, spiritualist, palm reader can provide such depth and clarity then God to us through the Bible!

Love is in the Bible. Attempt read it. Ponder its content. Reflect on it. Apply it.

God is active and continues to be active. God is a verb.

It’s all there…
