You may know God, but not comprehend Him.

The problem with God is that we want him to reveal Himself, and He doesn't. We will never understand God.

God is therefore unknowable. This is the fundamental premise of the Bible.

The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.

For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.

God already knows the naked truth about us, of course. Why not acknowledge it?

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we're hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.

God may be subtle, but he isn't plain mean.

It is good to have an intellectual awareness of our dependence upon God - to understand how great He is and how very small we are in His sight.
