Who is the God of the Bible? A Foundational Question We Don’t Ask Nearly Enough Who is the God of the Bible? He’s the Creator, responsible for all we see. He’s the One whose majesty is beyond contemplation—we should continually be in awe of Him. He’s the one who shows us love, in spite of ourselves.

Belonging to the Way: Exploring an Ancient Name for the Church *Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from Paul’s new book, The Way Back: Repentance, the Presence of God, and the Revival the Church So Desperately Needs (Westbrow Press, 2022).

Matthew tells us that some time after Jesus had... Photo of Paul HuyghebaertPaul Huyghebaert
