The New Free ThinkersWe hope that the Onomaticon series has helped bring the nature of God into greater focus for you. After several months of reading about the names of God and what they mean, you have more anchors for understanding Him and more material with which to describe Him. The series officially ends today, although the list [...]
Alpha & Omega Most people have heard the term “Alpha and Omega”. One thing to realize about any name of God is just how much power is implied behind it! My research turned up many different definitions of this simple yet powerful description of God. Alpha and Omega means the first and the last, the [...]
Rock There are many references to God as a rock or stone in the Bible. We have already seen that one name for Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone.
