God's goodness is seen in a multitude of ways. He gives of himself to the benefit of others (love), but he also is kind to us when we are in distress (mercy), forgiving of us even when we repeatedly offend him (grace), and he endures those offenses as he waits for us to repent and run back to him (patience).

You couldn't invent a better God: how wonderful that our loving God is good in every way!

Is it possible that you've already gotten the mark of the beast but didn't realize it at the time? Is the mark social security? Is it credit cards? What about some kind of vaccine?! The answer to all of these is "probably not," but then what on earth really is the mark of the beast? To answer that, we have to dig into some good hermeneutics for apocalyptic literature.

Strap on your seatbelts, we're talking about Revelation and it can get a bit weird.

Is it possible for God to regret a decision he made? Genesis 6:6 says, "The LORD regretted that he had made human beings," and in 1 Samuel 15:11, the LORD says, "I regret that I have made Saul king." What is the right way to understand these passages? Did God not know that these things would go so badly?

Some theologians think these passages indicate that God doesn't know the future. Spoiler alert: they're wrong!
