God Is Greater Than We Can Comprehend

“Some early Christian writers used to compare understanding God with looking directly into the sun. The human eye is simply not capable of withstanding the full brilliance of the sun. In the same way, the human mind cannot cope with the full glory of God.” Alister McGrath. I like thinking about the fact that God is greater than we can even comprehend. That’s the way it should be.

The One In Whom Our Faith Rests

Our faith does not depend on our strength of will or our ability to exercise powerful levels of trust, our faith has more to do with the reliability of the one in whom our faith rests.  “It is not the greatness of our faith, but the greatness of God, which counts.” Alister McGrath

If We Knew The Mind of God...God Would Be Too Small

“We have to learn to live in an untidy world in which we are not certain of everything—a world in which there are unanswered questions.”—Scientist & Theologian Alister McGrath. Many years ago, I realized that it’s okay that there are mysteries we don’t understand. In order to have all the answers we would have to know the mind of God and that would mean that God would be way too small.
