As in the case of God’s sovereignty and man’s volition (or the God-man mystery), there are three basic responses a person can make concerning the biblical concept of the Trinity. First, historically, men have either ignored it or rejected it as illogical and incompatible with human reason. Second, finding it incompatible with human reason, men have sought to solve the problem by reducing it to their own reason and in the process, they typically gravitated toward one extreme or another maintaining that God is one, or God is three, but He can’t be both. Third, historically and for the most part, the church has accepted it completely by holding both truths (God is three in one, triune) in a proper balance. Based on all the data of the Bible, the church has accepted this doctrine by faith though it is incomprehensible to our finite minds.

HOARDING
by J. Randal Matheny

For forty years she saved it all:
The daily paper, bottles, trash,
Assorted scraps in lordless sprawl;
To her a priceless private cache.

She filled her house, the queen of junk,
Her pleasure not to use, but own,
The miser's mania, on hoarding, drunk,
Compulsion to have, averse to loan.

Her kin are those who accumulate
Small treasures on this perishing earth;
They share her avaricious trait,
And do not know the soul's true worth.

The empty hand from God receives
The precious wealth we cannot touch;
His blessings shared are weighty sheaves;
The treasures we lose are those we clutch.
