"Hallelujah! For The LORD Our GOD, The Almighty, Reigns!"

The god of this generation!
(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 
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 
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. 

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

"The LORD does whatever HE pleases 
in heaven and on earth, in the seas 
and all the depths." Psalm 135:6

"Hallelujah! For the LORD our GOD, 
the Almighty, reigns!" Revelation 19:6
