A God Above All? Supreme. Almighty. Lᴏʀᴅ God. 

How do 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 so much the common media views of god as a good old fogey designed in our image. If you are like many of us moderns, you assume what you believe is actually true—but is it? Does your version of God have all the pieces of the puzzle that add up to reality or under examination, does your God become an enigma with not all the pieces fitting together?

Pieces forced together do not necessarily create an accurate conclusion if the source is warped. If you begin with dis-related bits misunderstood, the conclusion likely will not be conformable to Lᴏʀᴅ God.

We use a perspective which counters what we call the Cowsbell Phenomena which is defined as:

“belief from the familiar rather than Truth confirmed by the verifiable.”

(See “A Word about Cowsbell” for more on the Cowsbell Phenomena)

Our desire is to rightly discern what God says without the chaos of mis-perception. How often the dilemma of the Information Age is that not everything is as it promises. Modern life has become an illusion like someone having a virtual reality sensation that isn’t as it seems—you put on the viewer, see the image, hear the sounds, feel the sensations and yet it is an illusion, a sensory experience without actual substance. No matter how real it seems—it isn’t.

“Above all else, guard your heart for everything you do flows from it.” ¹

How difficult is it for you to keep the core of your beliefs in accurate Truth? It can be popular, touch our emotions, agree with our views, satisfy our beliefs, and yet, maybe it has no basis in truth other than our willingness to perceive 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 discard Truth by simply embracing the familiar. Similarly to artificial intelligence, there is a Confirmation Bias in both the way we ask questions, the way we view the response and the conclusion we draw.

Our posts check our the presumptions rooted in what we have made our core familiars. We challenge 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 three main paths in this pursuit: 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 then Resources you may use to focus your view of God.
