The Humility of God

The greatest evidence that God is holy is His humility. Humility is not self-abasement, or being bashful or the absence of excellence. It does not happen with will power but by surrender. Humility defines the spirit of the Holy One. God comes in humility: in the garden when he pursued Adam and Eve, in Jesus... Read More

Isaac Finds a Wife

Genesis 24 begins with Isaac grieving his mother Sarah's passing and Abraham realizing it was time to seek a wife for him. We see Abraham as a man of faith taking sure steps to make that happen in a Godly way. The complication was that there were no options locally, among the Canaanites. They were... Read More

Amidst Sarai's grief over being barren, yet her mistreatment of her slave, Abram’s passivity and frustration with God, we see Hagar, the forsaken one, stumbling on the realization that God is still watching over her! True... Read More

Anabaptist View of the Trinity

The Bible assumes the reality of God and is not occupied with speculation about the nature of God. The Bible is concerned primarily with God’s self-revelation and the appropriate human response. Many verses in Scripture speak of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit’s work in human affairs. There were many significant councils that discussed issues... Read More
