The topic of the immutability of God doesn’t get the same ink as do other attributes that we have discussed thus far. The omniscience and omnipotence of God seem to head the list. But what exactly does it mean that God is immutable? I have to confess that I have probably never used that word […]
We are going to look at two attributes of God that are, to me two sides of the same coin – omnipresence and infinity. Omnipresence means that God is present everywhere in space. There is no location where God is not. We see it in Psalm 139:7-12 (NIV) “Where can I go from your Spirit? […]
I have been so impressed by the quality of response my blogs have generated but one was so good I felt I had to share it with you all. After obtaining permission I am posting this response. He wrote this after having read the post on healing relationships that have been damaged by differing opinions […]

On Monday our grandsons Finn and Forest came to visit us. Iona and I took them to a playground in our neighbourhood and then to the park behind our condo. There is a berm that separates the ball fields from the condos and the boys lay down at the top and rolled down. They laughed […]
Last week I mentioned a lecture given by Dr. Gordon Fee of Regent College called Why Christians Read Their Bible Poorly. If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the lecture you can click on this link. Because there are royalties paid there is a charge for the lecture. Why Christians Read Their Bibles […]
I want to begin with a rather fanciful hypothetical scenario – you have responded to an invitation and are sitting at a beautifully set table. When the banquet is served the food is both extremely tasty and nutritious. You are told that you are invited to another banquet in one week’s time. But, and there […]
A number of you sent me messages about last week’s post and we seem to be in agreement that a knowledge of the Bible is essential for a serious disciple. With today’s post I will begin the journey of how we can study the Bible on our own. Listening to sound Biblical preaching or podcasts […]
