God. Above All? Supreme. Almighty. Lᴏʀᴅ God.
Could you get your mind around what that would mean? How can Someone transcend everything by which you could measure ‘real’? Are you doing that mental comparison thing—God to something less?
Cowsbell’s God. Above All is about what God says about God and not god designed in our image. Does your version of god have all the pieces of fitting together or, under examination, does your god remain unknowable?
We use a perspective which counters what we call the Cowsbell Phenomena which we define as:
“belief from the familiar rather than Truth confirmed by the verifiable.”
(See “A Word about Cowsbell” for more on the Cowsbell Phenomena)
Our intent is to see what God says without the chaos of misinterpretation, to base our life upon a trustworthy God. We want to get it right!
“Above all else, guard your heart for everything you do flows from it.” 1
How difficult is it for you to keep your core beliefs in accurate Truth? What we perceive could be popular, touch our emotions, agree with our views, satisfy our beliefs, and yet, maybe, have no basis in truth other than our willingness to accept it as what we want to believe. There is an element in our makeup that encourages us to embrace the familiar, to measure what we read, see, hear and think through what we have already accepted. Sometimes we miss Truth by embracing the familiar. There is a Confirmation Bias in both the way we ask questions, the way we view the response and then the conclusion we reach.
Our posts challenge the presumptions rooted in our core familiars. We challenge you for a deeper look into beliefs and practices with an eye to what qualifies as Truth.
In all honesty, this is about God Above All. We provide four main paths:
GOD which is God’s words about Himself,
REVELATION which is God’s specific impartation of Truth to us,
DAILY DEVOTIONALS to encourage your growth in God’s Word about Himself,
BLOGS which are perspectives on a broad range of views of God and,
RESOURCES you may use to focus your view of God.
