Who is this god? That pea people believe in all kind of gods. Listen.
You ask somebody who has some other god. So, look, well, tell me about your god.
you’d be surprised how little they can tell you.
And when you begin to ask them about, uh, or what, uh, uh, how they’re supposed to live according to this god and so forth, amazing what you find.
This is god’s this is god’s eternal word. Now we say we use these terms.
It’s infallible in errant. and everlasting and eternal, which simply means it is god’s book without error.
Because this god of truth would not give us a book of error to be a guide.
So let me ask you a question.
What is it about Jesus that some of you do not like.
What is it about Jesus that you don’t like?
I I’d like somebody to tell me somebody who doesn’t believe in him.
Well, just tell me what is it about him you don’t like. What did he do wrong?
0. What is it about god you don’t like?
Well, if you have a false impression of who he is, that you may come up with something, but the god of the Bible, what is it about if you don’t like?
This is the eternal word of god.
God loved you and me enough to come in human flesh and walk among us to reveal to us who he is and what he’s like.
So let’s think about just think about, for example, who he is.
god is the creator. He’s the sovereign ruler of the universe.
and he’s the judge of all mankind.
When you think about, uh, what his attributes are, for example, he’s the god of Should we say he’s an e he’s an eternal god.
He is holy. He is just. He’s omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent.
He’s got a mercy, faithfulness, and love. Now what is it about god you don’t like?
What is it about god you change?
The only people who would change anything about god are people who are living in sin and don’t like god’s viewpoint of their sin.
Because think about this. You mean if he’s a god of love and goodness and mercy and kindness?
and he’s a god of justice. You don’t want justice in your life.
In other words, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, All these and minimal attributes, unchanging?
What is it about god you don’t like?
Oh, what is it about his words you don’t like? What is it about Jesus you don’t like?
You see, how foolish to insist that the Bible is full of errors when god is holding.
Listen. God could not be holy and give me a guide book full of errors to mislead me.
He cannot. And so that’s why we say, you know, if you wanna anchor, here is the anchor.
Now here’s the question. Alright.
If I understand what the Bible is, god’s unfolding revelation himself and understand who this god is, that gave us the word, how does the anchor help me when I’m in times of storm?
Well, let’s think about it for a moment. First of all, it comforts me greatly.
I can remember some times.
at night when I get out of the bed in the middle of the night, get on my knees by the bed and open the word of god and read a passage of scripture because My heart was broken.
And because I could not handle the things that I was going through at that time, uh, particularly.
And so I would come to this passage Psalm 57. Psalm 57.
If you read it, you’ll underline it, mark it.
And one of these days, you put a date down by and say, oh god. Thank you for this.
because I love what he says. Be gracious to me. Oh god. Be gracious to me.
For my soul takes refuge in you.
In the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge until this destruction passes by.
I will cry to god most high to god who accomplishes all things for me.
He will send from heaven and save me. He reproaches him who tramples upon me.
God will send forth his loving kindness and his truth.
I would read it and read it and read it and read it.
And I love the part when he says, and in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge until destruction passes by.
Now, uh, if I I would simply say who whoever you are, um, you go through some storm in your life.
One of the best places to start where the anchor is getting the Psalms.
Because think about David, for example, Look at his life, came up as young man as a shepherd, killed Goliath, became a servant to Solves, all trying to kill him, so chased him for 20 years, trying to kill him, sustain through all of that stormy life.
and then, uh, his, uh, account with bathsheba, and then his son betrayed him and started a revolution against them to take where the kingdom He lived in one storm after the other.
Look at the Psalms. The Psalms are the result of god comforting him and strengthening him, and he’s so honest about him.
And he talks about how his soul is in despair, and and on the the all known, known, known he goes about what’s going on in this life.
It is a comfort. Now think about this. The word of god anchors have storm.
Now watch this. because he is omniscient, all knowing, he knows where I am in the storm.
because he’s, I’m the present. He’s with me wherever I am in the storm.
And because he’s omnipotent, he has the power to bring me through the storm.
