Exploring what the Bible teaches about the nature and attributes of God—His existence, character, sovereignty, and Trinitarian nature.
Towards the end of January 2026 you should see a number of posts here.
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02031 Paul told the philosophers in Athens that God “is not served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything” (Acts 17:25). If that is true — and it is — then a reasonable question follows: why does God command worship? What…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02030 James 1:13 states it plainly: “Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am being tempted by God,’ for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.” That sounds straightforward enough. Yet the same New Testament that gives us that verse also tells us that Jesus was tempted…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02032 The Bible speaks of God grieving (Genesis 6:6), delighting (Zephaniah 3:17), being angry (Psalm 7:11), and being moved with compassion (Hosea 11:8). Whether these are genuine descriptions of God’s inner life or simply human language used to make an incomprehensible God accessible to created minds is a question that has occupied theologians for…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02033 The question has a sharp edge to it. If God knew before the world was made exactly what every person would ever choose, in every circumstance, across all of time — then in what meaningful sense are those choices really free? When you sat down this morning and decided what to have for…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02038 The word omniscience comes from the Latin omnis (all) and scientia (knowledge). Applied to God, it means that His knowledge is complete, perfect, and without limit. He knows all things that are, all things that were, all things that will be, and all things that could have been under different circumstances. Nothing escapes…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02039 Omnipotence comes from the Latin omnis (all) and potens (powerful). Applied to God, it means that He can do whatever He wills. The Hebrew title El Shaddai, often rendered “God Almighty,” carries this weight — a designation that points to limitless power and absolute sufficiency. In the Greek New Testament, Pantokrator, meaning “ruler…
Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 2022 This question matters more today than perhaps ever before, as our culture wrestles with issues of gender and identity. But rather than approaching this through the lens of modern debates, let’s go straight to Scripture and see what God Himself has chosen to reveal about how we should refer to Him. God’s Self-Revelation…
Reading Time: 8 minutesQuestion 2021 This question touches on something absolutely fundamental to how we understand and relate to God. The Bible is remarkably consistent on this point: God reveals Himself using masculine language, masculine pronouns, and masculine imagery throughout Scripture. This isn’t accidental or culturally conditioned—it’s deliberate divine revelation. Yet at the same time, Scripture is clear…
Reading Time: 7 minutesQuestion 2002 Yes, absolutely. And this might surprise some people because we tend to think “Trinitarian” means everyone believes exactly the same thing. But whilst all Trinitarians agree on the fundamentals—that there is one God who exists eternally as three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—there have been and continue to be different ways…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 1117 Among the psalms of praise, thanksgiving, and quiet trust, we encounter prayers that shock us with their intensity. These are the imprecatory psalms, prayers calling down curses on enemies, invoking divine vengeance in the most graphic terms. “Break the teeth in their mouths, O God!” (Psalm 58:6). “Let their children be fatherless and…
