Where is God? I

Where is God? I

Everybody asks this question and the answer is actually simple and direct. He is here, right now no matter where you are or what you are doing. It is referred to as being Omnipresent. God’s Spirit is present everywhere throughout Creation.

In His great power and knowledge God created the heavens and the earth. (Gen 1:1) God was before the creation of the universe and thus all space, time and matter that was created when our universe was created. This means that God transcends these dimensions, not being limited by them but over them. Because He transcends what he created, God operates in and out of them at any time and any place in anyway He wills. He is not in just one place.

When Moses inquired of God who God was, God’s answer was simple “I Am”. (Ex 3:13-14) Jesus gave the same answer. (Jn 8: 58) “I Am” means God was, is and always will be. No one else can say that. When Jesus physically left this earth He had promised that He would send the Holy Spirit, the third part of the triune God to be with us and He did. Being spiritual, the Holy Spirit is not limited by space, time and matter. Thus God is everywhere, all the time as the Holy Spirit. God literally is with you.

When you pray you are talking to God but do not envision that your prayer is going up to some far away throne with a bearded old man sitting on a throne. No you are face to face with God through the Holy Spirit whose purpose is to intercede on your behalf with God. (Rom 8: 26-7) Through prayer you can draw even closer to God, so close that God is in you.

The Battle We Must Not Lose

This book argues that evil has advanced in America largely because
the once-sacred Christian values that shaped our culture have been
steadily weakened. As Christian influence has diminished, forces hostile
to America’s moral, spiritual, and civic wellbeing have grown stronger. The
decline in Christian influence is not abstract; it is rooted directly in the
shrinking percentage of Christians in America—an erosion largely caused
by the loss of Christian young people from the faith and from the church.
The importance of this dynamic is rooted in the fact that today’s youth
are tomorrow’s leaders in business, government, education, religion, the
military, and public life. Whether they possess a solid Christian worldview
will determine their confidence in the faith and their ability to influence
America toward what is good, true, and just. In addition, without a robust
Christian education, they will be ill-equipped to lead. Without it, they will
be unable to shape America for the better.
This book offers a battle plan—clear, strategic, and actionable based
on the premise that if the church recommits itself to the intentional faith
development of its youth, it will not only strengthen the next generation
of disciples but help preserve freedom and moral order in America. For as
Christian youth grow into Christian leaders, they will shape the nation’s
direction for decades to come.
Recently, President Trump proclaimed that “Making America Great
Again” will usher in a Golden Age for our nation. We pray he is right. But
unless we also Make America Godly Again, any Golden Age will be
brief.
