The place to learn about the character of God

This newsletter reports news from and additions to the website https://characterofGod.org since the last newsletter (September 3, 2023). Aside from additions listed herein, I am always making improvements to pages to make this website a valuable resource and hub of information about the character of God, the people who are foremost in promoting it and more.

VIDEOS, VIDEOS AND MORE VIDEOS

The team has been working hard to get past videos organized with the result that now there are over 90 videos available. They provide a great deal of information on the true character of our ever-merciful, non-violent God of other-centered love including studies on the character of God in the book of Revelation, and studies on individual difficult verses.

Most of these are videos of our weekly group study sessions (via Zoom) which have been ongoing for several years. Some still require editing to improve the quality but we are working on that.

Follow the link below the title for each group of videos below for a page giving details of each video.

The YouTube channel connected to this website is: https://youtube.com/@characterofGodvideos. Please give videos a like and share with others as you feel is appropriate.
