I Corinthians 1:4-9
I am told that God is light and that in Him there is no darkness at all. I am told in the Bible that God is love. Twice in the same chapter are the words "God is love". I am told when I read in the Bible that God is holy – "holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of Hosts."

God's presence is everywhere throughout this universe. The telescopes cannot probe the deepest reaches of the universe that God has given to us and yet, no matter how far it may go beyond our ability to see, wherever it may go out there, God is there. God is omni-present, He is transcendent. God is everywhere.
But what is wonderful is that this God who can do all things and this God who knows all things and this God who is everywhere is also a God who is faithful. H ...
