Does Scripture Show God Has Emotions?

Light in the Darkness: A Series for Advent Part One – Darkness

Darkness, to our sight, corresponds to silence, in our hearing. It is the absence of any stimulus to inform, direct or encourage us.

But darkness also entails a moral component. Darkness, by its very nature, spreads a covering over sin (see John 3:19-21; 8:12; 12:35, 46; Eph. 5:11-14).

Serve the Lord with Gladness - Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!

Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!

For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

(ESV)

Sufficiency: Everything We Need for Godliness

Body

“But note what the verse doesn’t say: that believers will get step-by-step instructions for every decision in life, only that they will be ‘equipped.’ That’s what we mean when we say that while sufficiency is ‘comprehensive,’ applicable to every area of life, it is not ‘exhaustive.’” - Seminary Viewpoints
