The Thoughts of Ryan-C

When you hear the word “God,” what do you think of?

An old man?

A King?

Jesus?

A spirit being?

A warrior?

A father?

A cosmic sky fairy?

A creator?

Lately I’ve been thinking that far too often, our views of God are far too narrow or even non-existant. We thank Him for the gifts in life and damn Him for the trials. We thank him when we win Grammys and forget about him when we lose. More often than not, we only recognize Him when we accomplish something or need His help.

What would our lives look like if we had a big (maybe even massive) view of God? How would we view our blessings and our curses? Would we thank Him in both? Would we even be thankful for both? How would we view sin if our views of God were vastly expanded?

These are questions that we should be taking seriously. And if you are a skeptic that finds these thoughts to be silly, I’d like to challenge you to think about the possibility of God and what implications come along with the idea of a massively huge God.

Over the foreseeable future, this will be a topic I will heavily be exploring and writing about: having a BIG view of God. I’ll be writing about what a big view of God looks like, what it implies, give examples of people who had massive views of God, and practical ways to expand your view of God. This should be a challenging, yet exciting topic to explore and I believe it will big growth in the lives of those who join me on this journey.

For now, think about your view of who God is and post your thoughts… If you don’t know where to start, read Psalm 9.
