“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.”
(1 Timothy 1:17)
We live in a sound-bite culture. Communication has been reduced to texts and tweets. Even the very names of social media convey the brevity and immediacy of communication—we have Instagram and Snapchat. I fear the result is that we are developing the attention span of a gnat and are losing our capacity to think deeply.
Many churches have just decided to go with the flow—and today if you go to one of those you will get a sermonette. My concern is that sermonettes produce Christianettes!
So, at the church I serve, we have decided to resist the tide, and ask you to think deeply—and specifically to stretch your mind in an attempt to comprehend the incomprehensible.
God is a subject so vast, we will never—not even in eternity—exhaust the end of a Being who is boundless. The study however is mind-blowing, heart-gripping, and life-changing. Just look at what is contained in this one verse! Zero in on this phrase: “God who alone is…” and stop right there! God IS—He just IS! He IS self-existent and self-sufficient. That will be the truth we will meditate on this week. Let us drink deeply from the fountain of Scripture!
