Word. His love is displayed by His commands to me that protect me from harm.

I should see, as I grow in my apprecia-tion for His omniscience, a drive to seek Him “who causes all things to work together for good.” Although I may seldom understand all that He brings into my life, I know Him who knows all things and so I am to rest in Him. I ought to read His Word with a desire to know Him more and more. This will be the reality of my future living in glory with Him, I will be learning of His person forever and ever.

I ought to be growing in having a settled heart, knowing that God is never in the dark about anything concerning me. Jesus said in Mathew 6:8 as He taught about meaningless repetition in prayer: “So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.”

Since the Word clearly tells me that He is all knowing, I must soberly live in light of the fact that it is before Him I shall stand in the day of judgment. For believers, this is a judgment of rewards as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:9-10:

Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for His deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.Understanding more of this great truth

concerning our great God and Savior is cause for us to praise Him more every day.

“Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is in�nite” (Psalm 147:5).

path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O LORD, You know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it.God knows when I sit down or and

when I rise up, he knows what I am thinking and he knows where I go and when I sleep. God knows every word I say even before I say it and His hand is upon me in the sense of His knowledge of me is inescapable.

As I meditate on what He knows about me, in what ways should this alter my life before Him? I am told in Hebrews 4:13, “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.” How should this biblical truth impact me as a believer?

I see this as a great doctrine concern-ing my security in Christ. When I believed upon Jesus Christ for my salvation, God knew every detail about me. Despite His perfect knowledge of my depravity, He had sent His Son to die for my sin and called me to believe upon Him for the forgiveness of my sin. There is nothing hidden from Him so there is nothing that can arise in my life that is able to surprise God. I rest in the security of His omniscience.

An understanding of His omniscience ought to move me to be more sensitive to God in all that He has told me in His Word. Every warning is from Him who knows all things so He knows exactly what will befall me should I choose to disobey His

How often do we think upon the great truth that our God is all knowing? “Omniscience” is the formal theological word for the all-encompassing knowledge of God. Whether or not a person believes in the God of all creation and has accepted His Son as their Lord and Savior or wholly rejects Him, God knows each one with perfect intimacy.

God does not just know most things about each one of us, but He knows fully about everyone and everything. Here are some attempts by writers to de�ne and so describe the omniscience of God:

God knows everything, things actual and things possible, e�ortlessly and equally well.God knows all things actual and possible, past, present, and future in one eternal act.To say that God is omniscient is to say that He possesses perfect knowledge and therefore has no need to learn. But it is more; it is to say that God has never learned and cannot learn.This is to be an encouraging and

comforting truth for believers, each and every day. Whether it be the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit, God is all-knowing in His essence.

David speaks of the comfort and wonder it brought to His heart contem-plating that God knows everything concerning him. In Psalm 139:1-6, David writes:

O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my

The quiz consisted of a written test as well as a verbal multiple choice quiz on stage. Claire was awarded a perfect score ribbon for her on stage quiz, and the girls took second place overall. Congratulations girls!

Perry Beard will begin teaching “The Names of God,” on Wednesday, March 6 in room 1419. According to Perry, God’s names tell us a lot about God and reveal His attributes.

In Judges 6:23-24, we read:

The LORD said to him, “Peace to you, do not fear; you shall not die.” Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD and named it The LORD is Peace.

The Lord greeted Gideon in peace, and Gideon built an altar and named it “The LORD is Peace.” You have probably heard the blessing “Shalom,” a common Jewish greeting for hello and goodbye. It means peace. More importantly it means “the Lord, our peace.”

Continuing in that vein, where does the Shepherd lead His sheep? Psalm 23:2 says, “He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.”

When my heart is content, I am at peace. And that contentment comes from the grace of God. Only in Jesus will I �nd true peace.

Come and learn about the names of God and what they teach us about Him. The class meets from 7:00-8:00 p.m. and is open to everyone high school age and older.

Did you know that God’s names are revealed in Exodus through Revelation, but not in Genesis? Come to class to �nd out why God’s name is not disclosed in the Book of Beginnings.

Join Donald Goertzen this Wednesday, March 6 for a study of the 20th Century Fundamentalists and Neo-Evangelicals. It has been said that the �rst 50 years of the early 20th Century were the best years for American Christianity. But there were some who thought that more could be done cooperating with the churches who had left the gospel for social issues. This uneasiness with success brought about unholy alliances with the enemy—with devastating results. These lessons will cover the Scopes Monkey Trial, the great evangelical successes, the drift from a uni�ed Dispensational Theology, the Neo-Evangelicals and the role of Fuller Seminary that downgraded the authority of Scripture. These lessons will prepare us to not repeat the errors of the past. Everyone high school age and older is welcome.

Meets Wednesdays from 7:00-8:00 p.m.
