GOD IS...(II)

Wow. My second weekly edition of GOD IS is just that. Wow. I guess that's to be expected since God is wow and his word is wow. I'm really loving seeing it all in one place like this - its very powerful. I guess that's to be expected since God is powerful and his word is powerful.  So as a reminder, this is a running tally of who God is and what He did/does taken from my Bible reading this week. I don't make this stuff up folks. This is straight from THE horse's mouth. :)

Have a seat. :)  It's a little heavy at first but press on.

And that, my friends, is THE TRUTH of God's word! I pray that it penetrates your soul and spirit, that it judges the thoughts and attitudes of your heart, that it teaches you, corrects you, rebukes you and trains you in rightousness.
