Men of God in the Morning
ajcarter | September 29, 2008
Every other Tuesday morning at 7 AM some of the Men of East Point Church meet at Q’s Restaurant for what we call MGM (Men of God in the Morning). It is a time in which we discuss not only some issues concerning the church, but we also talk about the greatness of God and the wonders of Christ in our lives. Currently, we are looking at the attributes of God – His perfections or divine qualities. On the one hand, God’s attributes are many (i.e., love, mercy, power, justice, holiness, etc.). Yet, in discussing the attributes of God, we come to understand that God really has only one attribute. It is the attribute of “Godness.” In this God is unique. Only God has the attribute of Godness. Godness is God being God. All that it is for God to be God can be called Godness. And thus, when we speak of God’s attributes of love, power, justice, etc., we are actually speaking in subcategories. These subcategories help us to understand and grasp what is ultimately incomprehensible – namely, Godness. The more I contemplate the wonder of God and His Godness, the more I am brought prostrate before the words of the Apostle:
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen (Rom. 11:33-36).
Helping us to better understand Godness is the little book by Tim Shenton entitled Our Perfect God. We invite you to join with us whenever you can.
