I have heard it said and repeated that each of us has a God-shaped hole that we yearn inwardly to fill. Those who fail to establish and enter into a meaningful relationship with God can never truly experience inner peace and lasting satisfaction. All pleasures and earthly endeavors are temporary and fleeting aside from the … Continue reading God-shaped Hole
Although God is omnipresent throughout the created universe, His essence is something utterly different from His creation. He is an almighty, all-powerful being beyond the capabilities of our minds to even remotely understand or relate to. He created the universe, knowing that we would choose pride and self-exaltation over loving and trusting God and obeying … Continue reading God With Us

God's desire was to create humanity such that individuals could choose to love and live in community with Him to magnify His Glory. God made man in His image. To understand what that means, we must … Continue reading An Eternal Relationship

God is not a part of the physical universe, had no beginning, and will have no end. He exists infinitely outside of … Continue reading A Relatable God
