ARTICLE II - GOD


God’s existence is assumed as fact in Scripture (Gen 1:1, Rev 22:20).

God is incomprehensible (Rom 11:33), but knowable; intimately through Jesus (Joh 1:18, 17:3, Heb 1:1-3, 1Jn 5:20).

Conviction of faith in man attests to His existence if one believes (Heb 11:6).

The testimony of the Holy Ghost and the continued assurance of His comfort attests to God’s existence in the believer (Gal 4:6).

God is personal (Gen 2:4, Gen 22:14, Exo 15:26, Exo 17:15, Jdg 6:24, Psa 23:1, Jer 23:6, Psa 24:10, Eze 48:35 - all personal names).

God is infinite and eternal (1Ki 8:27, Gen 14:18-22, Job 11:7-9, Exo 3:4-6, Joh 8:58, Psa 90:2, Joh 17:5, Rev 4:8).

God is unchanging (Mal 3:6, Jas 1:17, Heb 13:8).

God is the Creator and sustainer of the world who has manifested Himself through Christ.  God has revealed Himself through the physical world.  The greatest revelation of God comes through Christ and the Holy Bible.  God may be described in terms of Attributes.  Absolute “Natural” Attributes – (only God has these):
  1. Self-Existence, God is the Absolute Source of all life and being, the Uncaused Cause.
  2. Immutability “Changeless” (Heb 1:12).
  3. Eternity “Eternal” (2Pe 3:8, Rev 1:8).
  4. Omnipresence “Everywhere” (Psa 139:7-12, Gen 18:25) He is the God of all heavens and earth.
  5. Omniscience “All Knowing” (Job 37:16, Rom 11:33-36, Psa 147:5).
  6. Omnipotence “All Powerful” (Gen 17:1, 18:14).
  7.  Sovereignty - Everything results from the will of God (Eph 1:4-5). However, life is available to any on the basis of choice (Rev 22:17).
Moral Attributes:
  1. Holiness “To Separate” (Isa 6:1-3, Eph 4:24) God demands holiness, what God demands He supplies.  The believer throughout his Christian life is being sanctified though the Word, and the Holy Ghost, for it is the purpose of God to present us unto Himself un-blamable in holiness.
  2. Righteousness (Gen 18:25, Deu 32:4, Rom 2:6-16) what is right as opposed to what is wrong.  Justice and administration of Justice.
  3. Love (Mercy, Goodness) (1Jn 4:7-16) Essential, God wanted an object to pour out his benevolent love upon. 
  4. Truth (Joh 14:6) Veritas – “Truth, by whomsoever pro-nounced, is from God.”

I Want The World To Know

Music Video: Twila Paris - I Want The World To Know Twila Paris is “the” only wholesome 80s girl you will find.  She is my all-time favorite Christian artist from a time when that actually meant something.  Her music is anointed, and not the mere production garbage you hear today from so-called Christian artists mimicking pop music.  During the 80s, pop was mimicking her, she owned that decade from start to finish. Although I Want The World To Know is 20 years younger than what I consider her greatest hits, it has the moving narrative that has been special in all her music.  She started a website some years back, I remember seeing it and at first it looked like an attempt to consolidate, track, and profit from her songs.  It seemed worldly in a way, like the gathering of her song treasures.  I even had copyright run ins from whatever they were trying to do when I used her songs.  My guess is she realized this and totally changed it into a music ministry effort now – kudos, “ free

The Park Post And the third thing discovered was the lie, and I asked why?  Being is only seen as beautiful, yet within is condemning iniquity.  Wanton life, vainly moving along according to desires; lacking fidelity, grasping fairy tale – it is pointless. His passage is with grace, He cannot help it, He is the only reality.  An otiose existence is the lie in comparison.  Why does it prosper?  Beauty and grace in its hands merely brings tears with wonder not devotion. It is hated.  How is it dispelled?  Simply the hardest, the reality is behind darkness for purposes scarcely understood.  At times a glimpse, and the poise is perfect, how He travels.  And it passes; the ripple is swallowed in the lie. Not in the hands of youth, the pitifully ignorant.  It extends now; the elder holds the lie to a dying breath.  If neither, then who?  The rational?  No, too broad, they lack the stride.  He has to traffic upon the water or the dream cannot be seen. Where is the rushi

Kiss of Death The manuscript in the first video above is from 2 Samuel 11:2-27, with some other verses from the Bible as well.   I also made an additional video that has no manuscript which is included below.   There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.   Pro 14:12 . The knowledge of good and evil, and why most choose the evil, is a sin I too have been guilty of in times past.   I believe the soul that truly loves and belongs to God understands this conflict better than those who have decided that they are going to live for themselves and the pleasures of the flesh. How do you reach them, the ones who allow themselves to be taken captive by the things that are contrary to God's word, while convincing themselves that they are right?   Why does God choose to become intimate with some and provide an overwhelming desire in them to preserve their integrity against the evil that is being committed against them, while they s
