Matters of Life & Death

Reverencing and Reflecting the Words and Ways of God

In Psalm 119:15, the psalmist says, “I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.” We have been given a great privilege to know God through His revealed Word and by His revealed ways.

In 2023, the series was drawn from the Ten Commandments, focusing upon the Word of God and how we can apply the Ten Commandments practically in daily life. In 2024, our continued series is drawn from the attributes of God, focusing upon God’s ways as He has revealed them to us.

Like the first series, the new series will be composed of a teaching article on an attribute posted on Tuesday, and followed by a biographical sketch posted on Thursday. These biographical sketches demonstrate how God’s attributes have been reflected in the lives of Godly Christians throughout history. We trust that this new series on the attributes of God will be a blessing to you and to your family.

After one particularly harrowing bump when the Rover almost flipped over in the slight gravity of the moon, Commander Scott broke the tension by saying, “Somebody forgot to put up the ‘Dip’ sign back there.” Colonel Irwin responded by adding, “. . . we’d be sitting here a long time waiting for a wrecker.”

The Revelation of God’s Glory through Jesus Christ

What was the greatest manifestation of God’s glory in human history? Some might assume that it was when the glory of the Lord appeared on Mount Sinai. Others might say that it was perhaps when the glory of God filled the Temple upon its dedication. Still others might say that it was revealed in some of the marvelous visions given to Isaiah, Daniel, or Ezekiel.
