The god of this generation!
(Arthur Pink, "The Attributes of God")
"Our GOD is in Heaven--
(Arthur Pink, "The Attributes of God")
"Our GOD is in Heaven--
HE does whatever HE pleases!"
Psalm 115:3
Ah, my reader, the GOD of Scripture
Ah, my reader, the GOD of Scripture
is no make-believe monarch, no mere
imaginary sovereign; but KING of
kings, and LORD of lords!
To countless thousands, even
among those professing to be
Christians, the GOD of the
Scriptures is quite unknown.
The god of this generation no more
resembles the Supreme Sovereign
of Holy Writ, than does the dim flickering
of a candle, the glory of the midday sun!
The god who is now . . .
talked about in the average pulpit,
spoken of in the ordinary Sunday School,
mentioned in much of the religious literature
of the day, and preached in most
of the so-called Bible Conferences--
is the figment of human imagination,
an invention of mushy sentimentality!
The heathen outside of the pale
of Christendom form gods out
of wood and stone--
while the millions of heathen
inside Christendom manufacture
a god out of their own carnal mind!
In reality, they are but atheists,
for there is no other possible alternative
between an absolutely Supreme GOD--
and no God at all.
A god whose will is resisted, whose
designs are frustrated, whose purpose
is checkmated, possesses no title to Deity--
and so far from being a fit object of worship,
merits nothing but contempt!
"I know that YOU can do
anything, and no plan of YOURS
can be thwarted." Job 42:2
in heaven and on earth, in the seas
and all the depths." Psalm 135:6
the Almighty, reigns!" Revelation 19:6
