Home Search Topics Contact About | The Power Of GodOur natural tendency is to desire a weak and impotent God, one that we can control rather than the God who is in control of all things. A God that was weaker than us would be an idol, a figment of our imagination. All manner of evil accompanies denying the power of God. Denying the power of God is rejecting Him. Denying and rejecting the power of God makes everything a man does evil. His power is at work everywhere. We should turn away from those that deny it. We must make certain that we are not one of them. 2 Timothy 3:2-5: For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
