The Holiness of God | Terry Grogan | Room 3208
|
Join us as we begin a series of lectures focusing the Holiness of God (R.C. Sproul).
The Bible never says that God is “Love, Love, Love” – that comes from John Lennon, who also advocated to “imagine there is no Heaven. It is easy if you try.” Rather, the only attribute of God that is raised to the third degree is that He is “Holy, Holy, Holy”! Come learn why understanding His Holiness is so foundational to living a God-centered Christian life.
