Read Isaiah 26:3 and 1 Peter 5:7 I was sleepless for several nights because I had been pondering, perhaps due to a premature midlife crisis.

Today's Lesson Read 1 Chronicles 5:26, 2 Chronicles 21:16, 2 Chronicles 36:22, and Exodus 35:21 In my previous post, I explained that the word ruach in the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament, or TaNaKh) means breath, wind, and spirit.

Jesus Is The Brightness of God’s Glory (Part 2)
Today's Lesson Read Hebrews 1:1-12 Someone commented on one of my previous posts that the statement made in Hebrews 1:3, that Jesus is the brightness of God's glory, does not necessarily mean Jesus is God. To be precise, Hebrews does make a distinction between God and Jesus. Hebrews 1:1-2 states that God has spoken to us … Continue reading Jesus Is The Brightness of God’s Glory (Part 2)

God Is A Spirit
Read John 4:24 God is by nature a spirit, not an organism made of matter. In both Classical Hebrew and Koiné, the word spirit refers to wind or breath. This, however, does not mean that God is air, but that He is transcendent: His being consists of something that is beyond what is physical, beyond … Continue reading God Is A Spirit
God Is All Powerful
Read Luke 1:37 Reflect In a single year (2016), the U.S. used a total of 3,902,000,000,000 kilowatt hours, that is 3,902 billion kilowatt hours. That is a lot of power! Nevertheless, it does not compare to the amount of power produced by the Sun in one second: 38,460 septillion watts! That is, 38,460, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 watts. … Continue reading God Is All Powerful
