Lifespring!s In Touch With God's Character

Richard Mylander shared the following story: “On my way to a conference in Colorado I was driving uphill along a major interstate, when I overtook a freight train going the same direction at a slower speed. The train was being pushed uphill by two locomotives that sounded as if they were straining at full power....

A gardener devotes time, attention, and care to his garden. He tills, he sows, he waters, he feeds, he weeds, he watches for and eradicates insects or other creatures that might threaten the garden. It’s a never ending responsibility, and one that the Father has taken on willingly. Listen to the words of Jesus: “I am...

I love baseball. I can remember sitting on my grandfather’s lap, watching the new team in town on the black and white television set, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and listening to to the great Vin Scully as he masterfully called every play. Back then hall of famer Walter Alston was the manager of the Dodgers....

When we hear the word “hope” spoken in the Bible, it is not a wishful hope. It is an assured waiting for that which will be, and already is, in God’s economy. We can be absolutely certain that what God has promised, will be. Is your hope in Jesus? Do you look forward to the...

What do copper pipes have to do with the character of God? Jehovah M’Kaddesh is the name of God that I want to draw your attention to today. Listen in!

Just as it is counterintuitive to lean away from the mountain when standing on a steep, slippery slope, God’s direction for us sometimes feels like the opposite of what seems safe. But He is our refuge, our shelter, our shade, and our strength in distress.

Today’s show brings some new perspectives on God’s character!

You know, God is a mighty God. He created the universe with the power of his word. Think about it. The book of genesis tells us that He said, “Let there be light”, and there was light. Let there be fish and other animals in the seas, and there they were. He controls the storms,...

“I can remember it like it was yesterday. I awoke to find myself in decidedly unfamiliar surroundings. ?Where am I?? I asked myself. I tried to focus, but I felt groggy, and the room was dark, with the only light coming in from the open door that led to a lit hallway. But there was...

We should remember the God “who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world” as He is called in the New Testament book of John in the sixth chapter. You and I have reason to give thanks today. We have life.

In the book “Deliver Us From Evil?, Ravi Zachariahs writes: Joseph Damien was a nineteenth-century missionary who ministered to people with leprosy on the island of Moloka’i, Hawai’i. Those suffering grew to love him and revered the sacrificial life he lived out before them. One morning before Damien was to lead daily worship, he was...

“When you fall, pick up something.” ~Oswald Avery Wise words from a very smart man. Oswald Avery was one of the scientists who discovered that DNA is the material of which genes and chromosomes are made, back in 1944. We usually think of falling in a negative light. We associate falling with pain, or failure....

Is it true that we cannot know God? That He works in mysterious ways? Can we really know God? Does He want us to know Him?

U2’s Bono and his statement of faith is the jumping-off point of this look at one of God’s attributes.

Skiing, shells, for you.

I love a good steak. A nice, thick, juicy, medium rare filet mignon is one of the great pleasures of life, in my opinion. When you partner that beef with a nice hot baked potato, slathered with butter, sour cream and chives, a crispy fresh salad and cold, freshly brewed iced tea, you’ve got the...

I took the family to see “Superman Returns” yesterday. It’s a really good movie. The story line is about what you expect from a Superman movie. Lex Luthor wants to take over the world, and the romantic angle with Lois Lane is there, and Superman gets to perform many amazing and heroic feats. By the...

“He who watches over you…” Here in the United States, one of the largest insurance companies is Allstate Insurance. I remember when I was a boy, the TV spokesman was a very distinguished looking gray haired fellow. At the end of every commercial, after telling about how strong and reliable and friendly the Allstate company...

Jesus Christ: The Faithful Witness In the New Testament book of Revelation, Jesus is called the faithful witness. Now, that means many things, but the meaning that I’d like to focus on is revealed to us in the following three verses of scripture? Rom 8:34 (NIV) …Christ Jesus, who died, more than that, who was...

The God of All Comfort 2 Corinthians 1:3-6 (NIV) says: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received...

In the world of construction, nothing happens until an architect conceives of a building and draws detailed plans of how the building is to be built. In the literary world, a book does not get written without an author. The author brings to life the characters, the settings, the story. Without an author, there is...

If I were to make a list of attributes that a God worthy of my devotion should have, this characteristic of God would be at the top of the qualifications.

God is love, but He is also holy and just. Scripture 1 John 4: 8-10 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love:...

“He that is able to keep you from stumbling.” Sorry about the late post on this episode, and the brevity of this post. My main computer is down. I hope to get it back up today. Stay posted!

This is the inaugural edition of what I hope will be a long series of short podcasts looking at the many aspects of God?s character, as shown to us by Scripture. I have long been interested in the many different names of God, because each one of those names reveals something about Him. And the...
