God

wondered why God demands our worship. God, who is self-sufficient, does not need the praise of humans. He created people not because He needed them, but because He wanted to create something in His own image to share in the joy of His creation. What I never understood until now is the meaning of praise. Praise “not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment” of God (Piper, p 249). When people praise God, they are expressing their joy in an outward fashion. What they do pleases God and shows…

Wayne Grudem in his book ‘Business for the glory of God: The Bible’s teaching on the moral goodness of business.’ points out eleven key factors that as a Christian one should take into consideration when starting or running a business. They include ownership, productivity, employment, commercial transactions, profit, money, inequality of possessions, competition, borrowing and lending, attitudes of heart, and effect on world poverty. The main purpose behind writing this book I feel is that…

Hearing God “God spoke to me” are words that create unease in the most dedicated of Christians. “I sense that God is speaking to my heart” are also words that can give sincere faithful people a feeling of being second class believers if in all honesty they cannot say they have had such an experience. Others have had encounters that are unexplainable other than to turn to Moses’s encounter at the burning bush and Abraham’s visitation at Mount Moriah but have kept them private for fear of…

was to encourage people to live a Christian life, to resist temptation and be faithful to God in all ways. "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him (James, 1:12). So as people live in the Christian way by spreading the word of God and living in the light of Him, doing right, they will be praised. God promises the Kingdom of Heaven to those who are faithful, and that is the reward.…

In the vast study of philosophy, a particular question has baffled even the most intelligent minds. This question is, “Does God exist?” Philosophers have considered the answer to this question for centuries, each coming up with their own argument and reasons behind their thinking. A platform of debate often used is Antony Flew’s parable of the two explorers, who find a garden so beautiful, that one of the explorers is positive that there must be a gardener tending to it, even if he can’t be…

the Glory of God: Science and Faith in Harmony.” Dr. Koekemoer has been studying the heavens extensively for quite a few years now. Over his years of study, he has been able to see how the glory of God is seen in the heavens. Throughout his speech he used two verses in the Bible. The two verses were Psalm 19:1 and Psalm 8:4. He appeared to be using the King James Version of those texts. Both verses in the context he used them in were about the glory of the stars and the universe which God the…

by Dagg, covers the attributes of God. As we aim to fulfill the duties given to us by God, we must first know His character. We should work to know God. Thus, we should start with God’s attributes. There are eleven attributes that are discussed. The first attribute is Unity. Moses told Israel “The Lord our God is one Lord.” Though plural names of deity are numerously used in the Old Testament, they were not used to teach the doctrine of polytheism. The unity of God renders His moral government…

The Existence of God The existence of God has been debated through the history of man. Many philosophers argue that they may or may not be a God or the idea that many different Gods exist. But if you think logical you will realize the debate on God existence can be seen as a myth for many reason. The lack of knowledge or the limited knowledge of God existing leaves behind a gap in history. Therefore, the possibly idea of finding a missing part of history is impossible. The reality of it all is…

of language used to describe God. The sacred scriptures reveal truths about God in the language of man. Accordingly, theologians have argued over the manner in which this language must be interpreted and understood. In the medieval period, two great philosophers and theologians from the Jewish and Christian traditions, respectively Maimonides and St. Thomas Aquinas, advanced their own theories regarding the manner in which language is used to apprehend a knowledge of God. Maimonides argues from…

God existence Introduction In answering the question concerning the existence of the living of the greatest being God, some considerations are put into place. Those considerations include discoveries by astronomists and arguments by philosophers. The existence of God is discussed well in books such as the assortments of the world and these are important as they reveal that truly the greatest being existed. It is true that the leading argument about the existence of God was presented by Anselm…
