BIG GOD, LITTLE GOD - 2

Yesterday we started comparing little god, with Big God. Here are a few more comparisons:

Little God Understands Your Exceptions
When there’s sin you want to commit, or godly deeds you really don’t feel like doing, little god understands you can’t help it. You have special circumstances!

"I shouldn't steal, but I really need the money!"

"I should forgive, but this guy’s such a jerk!"

"I shouldn't commit adultery, but I think I really love him / her!""

"I know I’m supposed to witness - but after all that stealing, adultery and unforgiveness, I would just be a hypocrite..." This one actually makes sense - don’t tell others about the difference Jesus made in your life, until Jesus actually makes a difference!
BIG GOD GIVES YOU POWER TO LIVE FOR HIM!


Little God Understands Your Limitations
You have to be a Christian or Cool. You can't be both.
You have to be Saved or Smart. You can't be both.
You have to be Happy or Holy. You can't be both.
BIG GOD GIVES YOU POWER FOR ALL THINGS!


Little God Thinks You Should Give Up and Go Back
The same people who worshiped that golden calf, kept wanting to go back to Egypt, and the bondage of slavery. "This is too hard, let's just give up the dream of freedom, and go back to servitude."
BIG GOD CAN TAKE YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE PROMISED LAND!


Little God Sometimes Seems Big, But Isn't
The statue of Zeus at Olympia was large. The base of the statue was about 6.5 m (20 ft) wide and 1.0 meter (3 ft) high. The height of the statue itself was 13 m (40 ft), equivalent to a modern 4-story building. No matter how big he was, he still couldn't hear, see, or know the people who came to worship him. As a matter of fact, he was really an it - a stone.
BIG GOD FILLS THE HIGHEST HEAVEN - AND HE LISTENS!


Satan, uh, I mean Little God (that was close) Doesn't Care About You
BIG GOD LOVES YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE!
BIG GOD IS KIND AND FORGIVING, ABOUNDING IN LOVE FOR YOU!

BIG GOD KNOWS THE NUMBER OF HAIRS ON YOUR HEAD!
BIG GOD SENT HIS SON TO DIE FOR YOU!

BIG GOD POURED OUT ON YOU THE HOLY SPIRIT!
BIG GOD...
WE COULD GO ON ALL DAY!!!


Big God is Almighty
Big God is All-Knowing
Big God is Everywhere
Big God is Holy
Big God is Eternal
Big God is Righteous
Big God is Loving
Big God is Just
Big God is Kind
(See What I Mean?!?)

When you truly encounter Big God, you are awed and speechless and yet you desire to express your praise! He is the God who shakes you to your very core and causes you to tremble! He’s the God people fall on their faces before, or dance with all their might for! He’s the God who people kneel before to worship. He’s the God who heals the sick and raises the dead. He’s the God who created this universe! He can create and destroy, he can give life and he can take life!

He is the Only True and Living God worthy to be praised glorified, magnified, exalted lifted up and worshiped!


He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. Deuteronomy 32:4

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
Psalm 18:30-31
