Revering God
Zondervan Reflective, 2024
By Thaddeus J. Williams

WHO: Thaddeus J. Williams, associate professor of theology at Biola University.

HE SAYS: “Human beings are designed for awe, captured in the frequent biblical command to have yirah—awe, fear, reverence—for our Maker.” 

THE BIG IDEA: Deep theology meets real life.

THE PROGRESSION: In 30 chapters, the author draws from church history, science, philosophy, literature, cinema, art, music and Scripture to help readers embrace the God of the Bible, understand his attributes, and marvel at our Maker.

“Let us revere him as Lord over our minds, our feelings, our actions, our relationships, our morals, our imaginations–all of us.”

Reviving Personal Evangelism

If we are going to see more people saved in North America and more people engaged in personal evangelism, then we desperately need the Holy Spirit to work in all our hearts. Simply put, we need a mighty move of God in our land.

Oak Park Church: Outreach in the City

Rather than solely coming alongside communities following major natural disasters, the church decided to use the ministry’s life-saving—and life-giving—equipment year-round.

The Moment of Exposure

On Judgment Day, I won’t hide. I won’t run. Not because I’m innocent, but because I’m forgiven. Jesus paid it all.
