Life is filled with uncertainty and trial. We all know this all too well. But, we do not have to fear when the storm crashes in. When the earth beneath our feet gives way, there is still a foundation that is sure, stead, and a very present help. Psalm 46

We hate being judged. But honestly, we all judge. We all believe in a right or wrong. There must be an ultimate law giver and judge then. God is that Judge. And this is necessary, and good.

“Trust is the oxygen of relationship.” And trust is built and kept on the firm foundation of faithfulness. Is God faithful? Can we trust Him? The good news is that God is always faithful. We can lean on Him all the time!

God is love. He is a God of abundant steadfast love. But what does that even mean? We see that God is, and always has been, a God of enduring, generous love, that is rooted in His faithfulness.

The Bible seems to contradict itself sometimes in verses that very clearly state that God is for His glory, for Himself, but then also verses that say God is for us. If God is love, can He really be for Himself? Isn’t that selfish, and thus not loving?

God is good. This is crucial to know, because this belief lets us trust all that God does as good. But how do we know God is good? It is most clearly seen in that truth that He is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

A lot of times we quickly dismiss the topic of the Trinity as something we’ll never figure out or some strange theological topic out there, but when we do that we miss out on the fact that there’s truly no other God like Him and how we can intimately know Him as Father in our lives.

Names have meaning. Well, most names. But historically, and in the Bible definitely, names have meaning. They describe the character of a person, who someone is. As God reveals Himself, He gives Moses, and us, the name YAHWEH. What does God’s name mean? What can we learn about God from His name?

As people, every choice we make is one we believe is the best option. We choose what we think is better. For Moses and Saul, they had everything the world could offer, and yet they chose to know God, believing His presence to be the better option.

We claim to know God based on His Words, the Bible. We believe that the Bible tells us the way of life and are the full, authoritative words of God. But can we really trust the Bible? Is it really reliable? We believe history and study says Yes.
