The Character of God - Part 6

Part 6. Order, Peace, Quiet

An opinion poll in Britain found that around two-thirds of the population claimed to ‘believe in God’.  To understand the significance of this fact, further questions should have been asked: ‘which god?’; and, ‘what sort of god?’ The first was necessary because of the influx of immigrants with other religions. The second was necessary because even among Christians opinions vary about the kind of God they worship.

While David was preparing this series of sermons on God’s multifaceted character, he hit on the idea of linking divine attributes to the letters of the alphabet, hoping thereby to make it easier for his listeners to remember them. All went well until the letter ‘X’. Whether this was dealt with satisfactorily you can to decide.
