How Big Is Your God?

One of the blog sites I look at, and read sometimes, is that of Greg Boyd. I have spoken of him in previous posts. He does some very deep, theological thinking at times. At others he can be quite entertaining.

I checked in this morning on one of his latest posts and found it quite interesting. The links he offers there are mind boggling! It stretches my mind as far as I want anything to when I think about our universe, and the God Who created it. How big is your God? Not only is my concept of God enlarged when I think about our universe, but also when I think about God's love, His mercy and grace, and His intimate care for all of His people on this globe.

It reminds me of the little song we used to sing as children, "Wide wide as the ocean, high as the heaven above, deep, deep as the deepest sea is my savior's love. I though so unworthy, still am a child of His care. For His word teaches me and His love reaches me everywhere." It also reminds me of a book I used to have, "Your God Is Too Small," written by J. B. Phillips. Most of us think too small when thinking and meditating on God.

Here are the links I saw this morning on Boyd's blog post. Enjoy!
