Divine attributes
Recently I read A.W. Tozer's book, 'Knowledge of the Holy' which is essentially about God's attributes. The book has impacted me and it got me to thinking back through the years and realizing that I've not heard much preaching about God's majesty and his many divine attributes like omniscience, goodness, mercy, justice, omnipresence, omnipotence, etc... I can say that I've heard references to these things w/in sermons, but rarely is God's majesty preached with a focus on God's transcendence to the point that you want to fall on your face and worship God for who he is. Am I alone in this? I wonder what affect this has had on the spiritual psyche of the church? Tozer claims we lost a sense and reverence of God's majesty because we rarely think of him as awesome, terrible, mighty God. I tend to agree.
