Today we'll begin a look at the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the power of those gifts. When I say "The Gifts of the Holy Spirit", immediately there are those who think something controversial is about to follow. There have been heated debates over the years concerning these gifts, but I think if you'll join us over the next two broadcasts, much of that controversy will be resolved.

Last time we began a look at the Holy Spirit, and the important role He plays in our every day lives. As misunderstood and underestimated as the Holy Spirit is, we can never spend too much time getting to know Him, and what He can do when we utilize His incredible power.

As we continue pastor Lloyd's series called Every Day Theology, we're going to spend the next four broadcasts looking at what God's word says about the Holy Spirit. Debates are waged every day about the Holy Spirit's role and His gifts. Yet, there need not be such a controversy, if we go directly to Gods word and find out what He says!

Every Day Theology is the topic once again today as pastor Lloyd Pulley continues his series dealing with the basics of what we believe, and why we believe it. The Bible is the best selling book in history, without question. Yet, if you asked a cross section of people where it would belong in a book store, many would put it in the fiction section. Can we trust that what we read in the Bible is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Absolutely!

We're currently enjoying a series from pastor Lloyd called "Every Day Theology". We've taken a look at the natural aspects of God, and we've looked at the moral aspects of God. Today we switch gears just a little and look at the word of God, the Bible. Is it reliable? Is it true from page one to the end? How did the books of the Bible get in the Bible? These are some of the questions we'll answer over the next two broadcasts.

Have you ever considered the difference between justice and mercy? We hear cries for justice all the time, but as pastor Lloyd will share with us today - the last thing any of us want from God is justice - because getting justice is getting what we deserve! On the other hand, there is God's mercy and His holiness. That's what today's message is about as we once again consider the moral attributes of God.

Today in Bridging the Gap, pastor Lloyd Pulley continues our new series called "Every Day Theology", as we look at the moral attributes of God. Is He a mean God? Is He a vengeful God? Is He a happy - go - lucky God? We'll find out over the next two broadcasts. Turn to Exodus chapter thirty four as a starting point.

On our last program we began a new series, titled "Everyday Theology". Now, a nuts and bolts approach to theology is not the direction we are going. Instead, we seek to learn who God is and what He's like, but also to apply what we've learned in a practical way. If we truly seek to worship God and love Him as deeply as we can, then it only makes sense that we would desire to really know Him. Today we'll again look at the natural attributes of God.

It's been said "to know me is to love me". And that's exactly what God thinks about Theology - the more we get to know who God is, the more we'll love and worship Him! So that's what we'll do for the next couple of weeks or so - learn to know God - through a series called "Every Day Theology". Today we'll begin by getting to know who God is by looking at His natural attributes.

Today we'll bring you the final message in Lloyd's series titled "The Family of God", and today we'll again concentrate on raising Godly kids. I could quote a whole bunch of statistics for you to show what a mess we're in in the area of juvenile crime, but we really don't need to be reminded, do we? Kids these days are being influenced in every area of life, and many times the parents are the last to know what influences are having an impact. So... what do we do?
