3. Our Father’s Goodness

The Fatherly Heart Behind All That God Gives
What does it mean that God is good? One of the most searching answers in Scripture is also one of the simplest: God is good in the way a father is good. Not as a metaphor or a distant analogy, but as a living, personal, familial reality.

2. The Goodness of God from Moses to the Messiah

An Old and New Testament Survey
If you want to know what God is like, the Book of Exodus gives you one of the most direct answers in all of Scripture. Standing at Mount Sinai, Moses makes an audacious request: show me your glory. God's response reframes the question. It is not visual spectacle that captures God's essence.

1. Good from the Very Beginning

Creation, Blessing, and the Goodness of God
There is a word that runs like a golden thread through the opening pages of the Bible, repeated so insistently that no reader can miss it. That word is ‘good’. God makes the light, and it is good. He separates sea from land, and it is good.

2. God’s Unseen Architecture

How Exodus 1–2 is Built and What It Tells Us
At first glance, the opening chapters of Exodus might seem like a rapid and somewhat breathless series of events: a rising population, a paranoid Pharaoh, brave midwives, a desperate mother, a basket on the Nile, and a princess who breaks the rules. But beneath the surface of this narrative lies a carefully and brilliantly constructed literary structure, one that rewards close attention and rewards it richly.

1. Reading Exodus Rightly

Liberation Theology, Human Experience, and the Word of God
The Book of Exodus has inspired generations of oppressed peoples.

3. Christ the Good Shepherd

Contemporary culture has tried to make goodness therapeutic. The highest good, we are told, is personal well-being, emotional health, and the satisfaction of individual desires. This vision of goodness is about feeling better about ourselves.
