Not only is it a daunting task for anyone to assume to describe the holy Trinity of God, but it is also one that will never be complete by any human efforts; for God alone is God, there is no other and (as we discussed a few days ago), our finite minds will never be able to fully grasp the greatness of an infinite God. "To whom will you liken Me and make Me equal, and compare me, that we may be alike? ~ Isaiah 46:5 "I realized that no one can discover everything God is doing under the sun. Not even the wisest people discover everything, no matter what they claim." ~ Ecclesiastes 8:17 (NLT) According to Scripture, our limited minds are incapable of fully understanding all the visible works of God here on earth; therefore I don't think it's a stretch to conclude that we'll never be able to fully comprehend the qualities, nature and character of our invisible and awesome Creator, the Lord God Almighty. With much fear and reverence for our LORD, I wil...

Beloved brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ, As I was studying this morning and meditating on God's word, the Holy Spirit was so gracious to take me to the Scriptures where God our Father reveals Himself to us in His deity, His holiness, His sovereignty, righteousness and matchless nature; and how every person who has "seen" God in His majesty responds.

For in these things I delight, declares the LORD ." ~ Jeremiah 9:23-24 If I may, I'd like to share these Scriptures with you so that our hearts might be united to fear (r...

Today is GOOD Friday. Why do we call this day "good"? What's so good about it? Let's first take a look at the definition of the word good . good n . ~ moral righteousness, excellent; adj . ~ virtuous, righteous, pure, untainted, unspoiled, reliable, sufficient. Nearly 2,000 years ago, our Lord and Savior was brutally beaten, his beard was ripped off his face, He was spit on, utterly rejected; a murderer was considered better than Him; Jesus was mocked, stripped naked before the world, nailed to a cross of shame between two thieves, died and was buried. To give us a better understanding, let's read Psalm 22, which is where King David, by the power of the Holy Spirit, prophesies what our precious Jesus was feeling on this very day nearly 2,000 years ago: Psalm 22 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no res...
