Next on In Touch, the greatness of God.

When you think of God, what comes to your mind?

Is it a person, person of the body, a force, some kind of power,

maybe some kind of ethereal kind of energy, or maybe you just draw blank. You don't have any

idea what God is like. I think most people's idea of God is the kind of person

somewhere sitting out yondon space who is controlling some things or maybe most things,

but certainly not all things. People have all kinds of ideas about what God is like.

But probably most people have an idea about God that best suits them.

Somebody who overlooks sin, someone who wants to do the best for them at least most of the time,

someone who is a round part of the time, someone who is more like an old grandfather,

or maybe an emergency cord that you can pull in time of need.

But what's he really like?

And if you had to describe not just what your God does,

but what is the being of your God like, What would you say? How would you describe God? Now,

don't tell me what he does, but how do you, how would you describe his being? Who is and what

is this God? Well, one thing for certain all the way through the scriptures, it's very clear.

God's opinion of himself, God's

revelation of himself, and what he wants you and me to know about him. I would not even begin

to be so prideful as to tell you that I'm going to tell you what God is like. Because I don't

believe there's anybody on the face of this earth who can do that adequately.

I don't believe there are any words to convey adequately who God is and what he's like
