How foolish it is to think that the God who exists can only be found in a certain location. Can we really say, “God is here, but not there?” What do we mean when we say, “Let your glory fill this place,” or “Be filled with the Spirit?” Isaiah prophesied, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? For My hand made all these things, thus all these things came into being’ ” (Isa. 66:1-2a). Here we find that the presence of God in the world is far more expansive than the very temple that had been built for the very purpose of worshipping God. David likewise sings, “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there” (Psa. 139:7-8). The king understood that even if he were to traverse the great divide between the living and the dead, even in the afterlife God would still be...

For the LORD God omnipotent reigneth! Hallelujah! God is worthy to receive all glory, honor, and praise from people. He is to be worshiped because of who He is. One attribute or characteristic of God is omnipotence. God is all powerful and there is no other like Him. There is nothing that exists that is impossible for Him to handle. He is neither bound by any limitations, nor subject to losing any of His capacities. The works of the Almighty are evident. God is the creator of all things. The psalmist declares, “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host” (Ps. 33:2). God has spoken and the universe came into existence out of nothing. So vast is this universe that if one could take a space ship from earth to the universe’s edge at the speed of light at 186, 000 miles per second—barring the time alterations that Einstein theorized would happen and using earth-bound clocks—it would take 100,000 years until we can make out the spiral shape o...

On March 2, 2010, Glenn Beck said, I beg you, look for the words “social justice” or “economic justice” on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now…the idea…am I advising people to leave their church? Yes! If I’m going to Jeremiah’s Wright’s church? Yes! Leave your church. Social justice and economic justice. They are code words. If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish. Go alert your bishop and tell them, “Excuse me are you down with this whole social justice thing?” I don’t care what the church is. If it’s my church, I’m alerting the church authorities: “Excuse me, what’s this social justice thing?” And if they say, “Yeah, we’re all in that social justice thing,” I’m in the wrong place. Beck’s statement generated heated debate from various social media venues, and rightly so, since his statement appears to communicate that the criteria for leaving a church in this day...
