Subject: What is the glory of God? |
Bible Note: I hope you didn't take my question about God waking me up in the morning the wrong way. It was an example from the perspective of someone that doesn't acknowledge nor give God the 'glory' He desirves. Just for the record, that someone isn't me!! After reading John's answer, I agree with you, God's glory is alot deeper than my difinition. But just outta curiosity, suppose I couldn't define God's glory from a christian's perspective; or God's attributes, how would you explain these things to say a child of ten years of age?? Is it possible to explain the things of God in simple terminology?? Or is there any need because everyone on this web site is a mature christian?? Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to be funny or smart, it's just that simplifying the word of God has always been a very deep and compassionate concern of mine. I just believe that the discussion of the Word of God should be simple enough that even a child could follow it. Just in case there is a 'babe' present and following it. So what do you think, that maybe I should sign off and take my concerns elsewhere?? |
