The God Who is There: Contemplating the Doctrine of God
What is the first thing you think of when you hear “God”? Decades ago theologian Francis Schaeffer wrote The God Who is There, where he rightly pointed out that God is a personal and infinite Being who resolves the deepest issues that haunt us. Sadly, many of us fail to give God the honor that is due to him because we are ignorant of his majestic Being and attributes—when is the last time you sang about God’s aseity or impassability? Join us this month to consider who our Triune God reveals himself to be so that we can render him supreme glory.
