A friend recently gave me the magazine containing this article. I picked it up Sunday morning & was very blessed by your GOD IS.

So, I took up my journal, and being a PK, outlined a sermon I could remember & be ready to give a defense of the HOPE that is in me because I know my One true God & His Son.
GOD IS…PERFECTIONS, PRACTICES, & PRESENCE, intimately & simply declared through the Trinity.
Hours later, I attended church, where a guest speaker announced his sermon: Knowing WHO GOD IS. My journal already had my outline on the LEFT side, astounding my friend that I already had sermon notes. I had MUCH more because of your article, my meditations and Bible study.
