Behold Your God: The Weight of Majesty

Nothing provides the true follower of Christ with more profound and enduring satisfaction than turning from the limitations of self and this world to the unfathomable fullness of the living God. Nothing so directly affects the study of Scripture as one’s understanding of what lies behind the little word “God.” Nothing calls for such an entire consecration of the mind, heart, and will of the student as the study of this eternal Being, who is the cause and reason for all things. Nothing holds more practical value for the Christian than the realities of God’s perfection.

For twelve weeks, Behold Your God: The Weight of Majesty guides the reader through passages that reveal God’s perfections: His incomprehensibility, self-existence, independence, transcendence, immutability, infinity and eternity, omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience, wisdom, sovereignty, righteousness, holiness, wrath, goodness, love, patience, and zeal. The aim of this study is to provide the student with a tool for vastly enlarging his or her understanding of God in a manner that enlightens the mind, captivates the heart, and redirects the will. God truly is “a sea without a shore, a sun without a sphere.” Each of us stands before the boundless immensity of God’s majesty. He commands us to know Him. He has provided all that we need to know Him through the redemptive labors of His Son, the illuminating work of the Spirit, and the Bible. A.W. Tozer wrote only the truth when he stated that God “can show a new aspect of His glory to us each day for all the days of eternity, and we have but begun to explore the depths of riches of His infinite being.”

May God raise up a people who will say as David did so many years ago: When You said, “Seek My face;’ my heart said to You, “Your face, O Lord, I shall seek.”
(Psalm 27:8)

Fall ’26 Book Club

The Space Trilogy by C. S. Lewis – Lewis’s Space Trilogy (or Ransom Trilogy) is a three-part theological and cosmic fantasy focusing on Dr. Elwin Ransom, a philologist who battles spiritual evil across planets. It explores interplanetary life, “fallen” Earth (the “silent planet”), and the threat of modern materialism, blending myth with Christian theology.

The Three Books:
1. Out of the Silent Planet: Ransom is kidnapped and taken to Malacandra (Mars). He discovers a planet inhabited by diverse, moral species living in harmony, learning that Earth is a “silent planet” quarantined due to its wickedness.
2. Perelandra: Ransom is sent to Venus, a lush, young world. He acts as a “serpent-slayer,” engaging in a intense mental and spiritual battle with a corrupted scientist to prevent the demonic temptation of the planet’s first, innocent Adam and Eve.
3. That Hideous Strength: Set on Earth, Ransom leads a small group against a sinister scientific organization (N.I.C.E.) that seeks to merge humanity with machine and demonic entities to achieve immortality, serving as a darker, satirical conclusion that features Arthurian elements.

Themes and Significance:
1. Space is “Heavens”: Unlike modern dystopian science fiction, Lewis views space as the “heavens,” filled with life, light, and intelligence.
2. Cosmic Evil: The trilogy depicts a “Bent Eldil” (Satan) who rules Earth (“silent planet”), from which humanity is spreading corruption.
3. Anti-Scientism: The books critique dehumanizing technology and the “scientific” quest for power over nature, particularly in the third book.

The Space Trilogy was written in part due to a bet between Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien to write more space travel stories.
