What does your God look like?

Bearded old man in the clouds? Eastern mystic? Baby in a feed trough? Powerful king or military man? Jewish carpenter? Accountant? Something really different? For a lot of folks, they don't express who they think God is, what God might look like or who God includes as a part of God's people! Sometimes it's because they haven't thought it through. Sometimes it's because they don't want to say what they really think in front of other. What about yourself? What do you think God looks like?

Yes, please spare me the God is spirit, etc responses - I know that - I am simply opening the door for anyone interested to say who they think God is, what God's character is, what God's personality is, etc. Also, don't say, 'Just read the Bible' and thus avoid the question! To many times, we offer not too well thought out answers that we've heard our whole lives but haven't really spent time reflecting on.

Leon Barnes, our pulpit minister, is teaching a series of classes using the same title as this post. It'd be interesting to see what other think as a backdrop for him to consider as he teaches this class and answers questions that people have about it. Thanks for thinking about it...
