Part 20 | The Only True God – God is Faithful
You may remember a while ago we looked at the immutability of God, that is, the doctrine that God does not change, and indeed cannot change. We saw three particular areas in which God is unchanging: his personhood, his purposes, and his promises. Because God is unchanging it follows logically, and more importantly, it follows biblically, that God is also faithful.
How to Enjoy the World Cup 2010 Finals without Committing Idolatry
With the World Cup 2010 Finals fast approaching, the world embraces itself for what commentators call the ‘world’s biggest sporting showdown.’ For one whole month 32 national football teams will converge upon South Africa to compete for the most coveted ‘relic’ of the sporting world – the 18 carat gold World Cup Trophy. Not to mention the accolade of the teams name going down in footballs hall of fame. It’s meant to be the crème da le crème of all sporting events and you can be pretty sure that this event will engulf the world for its four week long duration. Football will literally take over.
Part 18 | The Only True God – God is True
One of the most exlcusive statements ever made in the Bible and indeed to proceed from the lips of man is found in John 14:6. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” But hang on, what about Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Hinduism? What about all those who claim to be a path to God? Not all can be the truth can they?
Part 11 | The Only True God – God is Omnipotent
He has chosen to keep this attribute exclusively to Himself and therefore the word itself is true only of God and Him alone. His power is not like ours; it doesn’t decrease or run low, it is at its optimum at all times. We tire and require rest to recuperate, but God is never in need of respite and His power remains un-relinquished.

Part 14 | The Only True God – God is Love
In the Bible we see three particular affirmations about what God is? God is Spirit, God is Light and as in the above verse, God is Love. But what does it mean that God is love? You may have heard the expression “God is love and love is God.” It sounds very noble but how true is it to say love is God?
Part 13 | The Only True God – God is Righteous
A day of judgement has been set aside when all things shall be brought before a righteous God. The fact that God is righteous poses the greatest problem for all of mankind. Mankind has failed to realise that the God of the heavens and the earth is a righteous God. And if He is a righteous God this means they, being unrighteous will surely stand guilty before Him.
Part 12 | The Only True God – God is Good
Throughout the centuries of the world man has asked, at least in his heart, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ Religion provides answers through the practicing of rites and rituals and doing whatever is classified as ‘good’ in that belief system. From keeping the five pillars of Islam to practicing Zen wisdom to attending Mass and the confessional, religion has laid down a salvation based on our own good works rather than on God’s goodness. Knowing the God of the Bible involves a Biblical understanding of goodness- both God’s and ours.
Part 9 | The Only True God – God is Omnipresent
Omni meaning ‘all’ and praesēns meaning ‘presence’. God is all present at once. The word “omnipresence” is not found in the Bible, but the teachings of the scriptures clearly reveal it. This attribute of God is an incommunicable attribute, meaning He does not share it with anyone or anything. This attribute belongs exclusively to the God of the Bible.
