I know that we usually speak of various aspects of God and list such things as omniscience- He knows everything, omnipresence- He is present everywhere, omnimpotence- He is all powerful, eternality- He has no beginning or end.

We usually also say that He is immutable... He does not mutate, adapt, or change.

We didn't just pull this out of the sky for there are Bible passages that seem to teach that but it really isn't a mature understanding of God for there are just too many places in Scripture that show that God does, at times, change. He seems to adapt His plans according to need. That doesn't mean His nature changes but He does adapt His plans. You see this in the episodes of people like Abraham, Jonah, and Hezekiah.

That could create some uncertainty, but I've got great news. The track record shows that if God does change the direction is always the same- always toward mercy. Never does He become more vindictive, never! Isn't that great?

We doubt that you're going to find the Bible insights scattered all throughout our ministry in very many other sources. That's why we passionately try to give you our best.
