I had the question posted in Twitter by someone from Utah. Is God Good? God's goodness is everlasting, the Bible says.
He got you up this morning. He is good. He allowed you to see another day. God's goodness is everlasting. He has provided to those who recive Him Eternal Life. A relationship with Him. God is good.
He gives you feet to walk on. God is good.
You can wear Nikes or Puma Shoes when you take that walk. God is good.
And if you should decide to do a Bible study today and you get your pens and paper from OfficeMax thank God for He is good. God's goodness is everywhere. For my Bible study I prefer the English Standard Version. Very accurate and up to date. Try it for yourself.
Humans are not simple. They are complex. It is my belief that God has spoken. We need to listen. In For Your Information I will be helping you with tools to do just that. Feel free to add comments. Let's make this a dialogue.

In The Beginnng
When we look out at things around us we may wonder, how did it all come about? How did I come about?
For a Christian that is easy to answer. The Bible tells us, "In the beginning God created."
Yes. What is creation?, you ask. The best way to define it is to say Creation is the beginning of the universe and human life.
When was this beginning? We don't really know. But the Bible says there was a beginning. Not of God. But of time as we know it.So we ask, what did God create?
God did not create an extension of Himself. He is complete. But the Bible does tell us He created Angels. That is found in psalm 148:2,5. The book of Job refers to the angels in Job 38:4-7.
Humanity, male and female, was created to exist on a higher level above all other thiongs created. Humanity, in the beginning, was made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26) and was given domination over the rest of the creation on Earth (Genesis 1:28) That image is still there but in a fallen broken state. Jesus came to restore that state.
That will be another subject.
This image is not physical. But since God is spirit we can figure it is a spirit image.
How did God create? He created from nothing ex nihilo. He spoke and it came into existence.
Why did God create? That is a good question. He wasn't lonely. He didn't need other creatures to complete Himself. He must have done it because He is Love and it is to His glory to create objects to love.

Actions Speak your Salvation
This morning Pastor Joe preached from 1John 5:1-15. He said that your belief is not seen if you do nothjing but sit around and act as if what you believe is a privayte affair between you and God. Your actions are. And John points out that your behavior towards others and toward Jesus, who did come in the flesh, shows your salvation.
But basicly, Jesus did come in a body. The body is the package that carries the real man. Jesus had a real body. Only a real body can be hungry. Only a real body can bleed. Only a real body can eat food. Only a real body can ascend into heaven. And only a real body can come back again.
If Jesus were not in a body He wouldn't be anyone to follow. We must be Christ like, John calls us sons of God, if we are Christians. As sons we represent all others are going to see of God. All we do we should do knowing that fact.
Not too many of us are called to stand on street corners and preach. No, But we all are called to act daily in the awareness that we may be the only link between God and man when it comes to the decision he will have to make.
When we get to heaven God is going to ask, "What did you do with my Son, Jesus?" "Why should I let you into my heaven?"
