            In my Wednesday night auditorium class we are nearing the end of our current study of the late Stan Mitchell’s book, Give the Winds a Mighty Voice: Our Worship in Song. This is a different kind of class in that we sing hymns as we study. That is, since brother Mitchell highlights certain hymns composed by the various writers we are studying we are singing some of those hymns. It is also unusual from the standpoint that the teacher is no song leader, yet somehow we have managed to lift up our voices in a marvelous way! I anticipate finishing that study on November 11th.
            For our next study, to begin November 18th, I have elected to do a study of the Godhead. As a class book we will utilize the January 2026 issue of The Spiritual Sword, titled, “The Godhead.” The books have been ordered and should be here in plenty of time for our first class on the 18th.
            Why a study of the Godhead? Why not a study of the Godhead? I have heard it said, “If I could explain God, I’d be God.” Job asked, “Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?” (Job 11:7, ESV). God may be unfathomable, but he is not unknowable! Nobody asks to know all that there is to know about God. The question is can God be adequately known? The answer is yes!
            A preacher preaches a sermon on the Godhead. He uses the word “Trinity” in the course of his sermon. Some get upset saying, “The word ‘Trinity’ is not in scripture.” True. The word “person” is never attributed to God in the Bible either and yet we often speak of the “three persons in the Godhead.” A valuable source that I have read and used for many years is the book, The Timeless Trinity for the Ceaseless Ages, by Roy H. Lanier, Sr. As Justin Rogers notes in his article, “The question is not really about the appearance of the term but the concept.”
            This issue of The Spiritual Sword includes articles by Justin Rogers, Gary Hampton, Gary McDade, Caleb Colley, Bill Boyd, Phil Sanders, Steve Higginbotham, Mike Hixon, Hiram Camp, Glenn Colley and Allen Webster. It promises to be a good and valuable study on a vital subject that I hope will be helpful to us all! Please join us in that class if you can!
