God.

Above All

glory of the distinctive God, brighter than the storm
Is your god a small ‘g’ God? Have you created him in your imagination to be what you want him to be—creating god in your own image of what it should be? The Lᴏʀᴅ God of this website isn’t according to my enlightenment or reasoning or perception or linked to agreeing with my familiarities but is rooted in His revealing of Himself in His autobiography, the Bible. If you are sure I’m wrong and would like to amuse yourself at my expense, why don’t you read a little and see just how wrong you can prove me? How could I make such an outlandish claim which even if it were true, would certainly not be socially, politically correct. This website is not about being ‘proper’ but is all about being true to the Bible.

The Bible
God's Word

To know God you need to know what He says about Himself. That is what the Bible is all about for it is the God-given autobiography which He personally gave to mankind. Your perception of who God is must be founded in what He says about Himself and not in tradition or myths popularly accepted.
In the “BIBLE” section, you will find glimpses into the content and meaning of this Book.

God
Above All

“He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all.

There you have the summary of this site so if that satisfies you God desire, you need go no further. This section takes a broader look at who God says He is , going beyond man’s perception and trusting Him.

Daily
Devotions

I have found the most fruitful way of knowing God is to spend quality time in the Message He has given us in the Bible. Our Daily Devotionals begin at the first of the year and follow through the Bible book-by-book through the year. These are primarily what God says about Himself and His view of relationship with us as His creation. They are meant to provoke thought and remind daily of His desires.

Insight
Blogs

While the Daily Devotionals are a systematic journey through the Bible, these Insight Blogs are usually topical and pull in several passages on a given topic. They tend to be my observations on how the Bible addresses issues worth exploring and are often rooted in subjects that have come up in personal studies, conversations, current circumstances and what is on my heart.

‘Cowsbell’ is a play on words where the familiar is substituted for the reality and is part of the motivation for this site. For more on that see the ABOUT page and specifically the deeper dive about the COWSBELL PHENOMENON.
