Works & Wonders: God’s Power and Goodness, Wikipedia’s Top Page, Weather Photos, a Simple App, and Men Singing Hymns

The author opens this weekly “Works & Wonders” column by explaining that it gathers a short devotional thought along with interesting and uplifting things found over the past week. The main reflection concerns God’s power. The author argues that no attribute of God can be separated from the others, and that God never uses his power in a way that diminishes his character. Whenever God acts powerfully, the author says, that power is wise, holy, just, good, and true. The post draws on a line from Jen Wilkin to make the point that God’s limitless power is comforting only because it is joined to his limitless goodness.

The rest of the column is a set of brief recommendations. The author introduces Wikipop, a simple site that shows which Wikipedia page people viewed most recently, and notes with some caution that the featured page can change. Other items include a Weather Photographer of the Year shortlist, a music album from Anchor Hymns inspired by Douglas McKelvey’s Every Moment Holy books, and Big Words, a no-account app that turns a phone or screen into a large-text sign or timer.

The author also celebrates a “Men Sing” gathering trend among Dutch Reformed churches, in which men come together to sing hymns, and expresses hope that the trend will spread. The column then lists other links and articles, along with a note on book releases from October. The post ends with a set of topic tags and a list of Bible references, which are simply presented as part of the column’s arrangement.
