Alpha & Omega | brian agovino
Genesis 1:1 [ESV]
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
“The blunt monosyllable and clunky sound “God” easily goes with the popular image of God as a bully in the sky who makes demands and becomes dangerously petulant if people ignore Him. For many people the idea that there is a “God” like that is bad news not good news.”
-N.T. Wright
