The Supremacy of Christ

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.
(Colossians 1:15-20 ESV)

How Great Thou Art


I'm reading through this awesome devotional. Every page, one for each day of the year, is packed with deep spiritual reality, written by God-fearing, God-exalting, and God-centered men and women, classic and modern writers in the company of D.L. Moody, John MacArthur, John Piper, Charles Spurgeon, A.W. Tozer, Joni Eareckson Tada, R.C. Sproul, Martin Luther, Arthur W. Pink, Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, J. Vernon McGee, John Calvin, J.I. Packer, Ray Stedman, Josh McDowell, Norm Geisler, Philip Yancey, Charles R. Swindoll, Max Lucado, and the list goes on and on. Compiled by Steve Halliday and Willian Travis, they credited John Piper for providing the inspiration for this book. I found this devotional book at a local Christian bookstore and bought five or six copies because I haven't quite seen a book like this one. Anyone who is seeking the deep mysteries and majesty of God will not be disappointed. It's compiled thematically:

Jan. - The Majesty of God
Feb. - The Holiness of God
Mar. - The Love of God
Apr. - The Sovereignty of God
May - The Goodness of God
Jun. - The Righteousness and Justice of God
Jul. - The Grace and Forgiveness of God
Aug. - The Omnipotence of God
Sept. - The Omniscience and Wisdom of God
Oct. - The Providence of God
Nov. - The Truthfulness and Faithfulness of God
Dec. - Surprise!
