What are the main points about God? If you were to describe God to a non-believer, or even a believer, what would you say? What would you emphasize?
And, a more important question would be; is that how God would want Himself described?
Hello, by the way. Seems like a long time since we have been together. I hope you had a great Memorial day weekend and that you enjoyed both speakers.
On the sign out front I put, “I’m a jealous God”. It’s a quote from the Old Testament when God is explaining what he thinks about idols.
It’s one of the attributes I’m talking about. Would you have included this one? Probably not something you should lead with, but it is there. What does it mean? Is it a bad thing? Is God petty and toxically possessive like some people? No, but we still need to understand what this passage means to capture all the attributes of God.
If your first answer was, “God is love”, you’re not wrong, just incomplete. Let’s see if we can fill out more of who God is so we are better prepared to tell about Him.
