God Is…

Although we’ll never grasp God in His entirety, we can still learn about Him through three things in particular. When I was a PhD candidate, I had to endure a comprehensive oral examination before four professors. The most surprising thing I was asked to do was “Define God.” I had not prepared for such a general, broad inquiry and had only heard that type of “question” from elementary

  1. A friend recently gave me the magazine containing this article. I picked it up Sunday morning & was very blessed by your GOD IS. I have been meditating for about 3 months on JOHN 17, learning to pray the Lord’s desires & words as a transformed into His image child. John 17:3 is amazing. 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.
    THANK YOU. My Father used you, in 2021 with an old article, to stamp on my heart just how much HE wants me to KNOW Him and share Him by knowing a good definition, easily held & used in the marketplace to SHINE the Light of the Gospel.
    I live by claiming ISAIAH 50:4 each day. Your defining moment helped me have a WORD to “sustain other weary servants” and challenge them to truly KNOW their Father God & be able to define Him, declaring their true Christianity. THANK YOU.
