Today I am coloring my world PINK SHERBERT. I wonder what pink sherbert tastes like. Watermelon? Strawbery? Anyway this is what it looks like…
Here is my rendition of pink sherbert. You tell me what you think it tastes like according to these pictures.
Today we are talking about the justice of God using Romans 1:20 as our spring board.
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Justice is one of the invisible qualities of God as described by A.W. Tozer in his book The Attributes of God.
I don’t think there is a better time to address this characteristic of God’s justice than as we begin Holy Week.
So just what is God’s justice?
We see the justice of God written into the very fabric of the universe. Newton’s third law teaches us that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That is justice. You reap what you sew.If you put garbage in you get garbage out. We get that in every other area of life. Why do we think it is different in the area of spirituality? God is just. Our only hope is that God’s character of mercy will work alongside His character of justice and that is the glory of the cross. God’s justice was satisfied in the mercy of Christ’s cross.

So today it’s all about SITTING DOWN INSIDE. That’s a good thing because we are supposed to get snow at the end of the weekend. So it’s back inside for us…at least for a few days.
You can find lots of indoor places to sit by clicking the underlined link above. Here are my indoor seats. Some of them even come complete with people in them.
We have been exploring the Book Of Romans verse by verse for some time now and for the last 13 sessions in this series we have hovered over Romans 1:20 exploring the invisible qualities of God. We are using A.W. Tozer’s, The Attributes of God, as a jumping off point for our discussions. If you have missed any of the previous posts they can be found on THE ROAD THROUGH ROMANS PAGE.
Today we are discussing God’s self-sufficiency. This is the idea that while we need God, God does not need us. He is everything He needs. The creation is dependent on the Creator but the Creator is not dependent on the creation.
This makes perfect sense and is reflected in nature by the relation of men to their own creations. If an artist paints a canvas, that canvas is entirely reliant upon the artist for what it becomes. If however the canvas is destroyed in a fire, its destruction does not change the artist into a non artist because it was destroyed. The art does not make the artist. The artist makes the art and the artists does not require anything from the art in order to remain artistic.
Some people think that God created us because he NEEDED worship or fellowship. But this is not true. God may find that an appealing attribute of His creation but He does not NEED worship to be God. He would be God still if not one angel or person ever lifted their voice in praise to Him again (I shudder to think what would happen to angels and people if that suddenly happened but God would have no worries).
That said we must realize that God alone is self-sufficient.Self-sufficiency is a quality of God and not man. We were made with limited sufficiency not all sufficiency. The idea of becoming totally self-sufficient is not a godly idea. It is not even a possibility. We were made to need God. We were made to seek God when we have a need not to try and figure it all out ourselves.
I would love to hear your thoughts.

We have been studying through the Book Of Romans verse by verse for a while now. We have come to verse 20 in chapter 1…
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Using this verse we are doing a study of God’s invisible qualities using A.W. Tozer’s list from The Attributes of God.
If you have missed any of our discussions thus far you can find them on THE ROAD THROUGH ROMANS PAGE.
Today we are discussing God’s self-existence. God shows Himself in Exodus chapter 3 to be, “the origin that has no origin.”.
That is a tough one to understand. Maybe Buffalo Herd can help us get a better grasp on it.
Did you get that?
