Kitchen Table Theology
Where Coffee, Conversation, and Theology Meet. During my 40 years in ministry, I’ve developed an increasing burden for what I sense to be an increase in biblical illiteracy, not only among those in our churches, but also in the young men and women entering the ministry. Conversely, I am hopeful, because I also sense a hunger from people to learn and know biblical truth and the things of God has revealed to us in Scripture. Our Kitchen Table Theology team has developed a list of over 150 doctrinal topics which I, along with one of my cohosts, Jen Denton or Tiffany Coker, examine weekly. Our goal is to educate and share biblical truth on the same level as if we were sitting at your kitchen table with a Bible and a pot of southern pecan coffee in front of us. Welcome to the table!

Episode Summary
In this episode we examine the fact that God is infinite. Everything in life is measurable. We can measure weight, time, temperature, length. But God cannot be measured. His understanding has no number. If something is beyond measure, it is necessarily infinite. Listen as Jen and I discuss God's infinite and boundless character and how that makes a difference in our lives today.
Topics We Discussed in this Episode
● [6:44] One of the most common ways we sometimes describe God is by describing Him according to what He is not.
● [7:56] If something is beyond measure, it is necessarily infinite. And this is one of God’s attributes.
● [11:20] Since God is timeless, He does not experience a succession of moments like we do.
● [13:18] God works within time as we know, but He is not limited by time as we know it.
● [17:30] “What would my limitations look like if I spent more time, more energy, more effort on the one thing that is really the only lasting thing?”
