Wait a minute! Don’t we already know God? Perhaps a person may think, “I know Father God loves me, has sent God the Son to die in my place, and has given me God the Holy Spirit to live in me and through me. Isn’t that enough?”
No matter where we are in our pursuit of God’s heart, we do not yet know God fully. He is so awesome, so measureless, so glorious that after eternity would end (and it can’t), we would still have only begun to know God.
The “Knowing God” room is a place where we can grow together in knowing God, spurring each other on in intimate, active knowledge of God. This is a room with resources. To the right on this page is a growing list of resources that can draw us into a deeper understanding of who God is and how we can love and pursue God. (For example, first on the list is A.W. Tozer’s “The Knowledge of the Holy” graciously shared with us by the VergeNetwork.
This is a room where posts will be made that will lead us into God’s heart, closer to life-impact “knowing” God.
This is a room where we have conversations, grow together, learn from each other, pursue God together as we respond to posts, comments and questions of others, and worship God together.
In coming posts we will explore together many of the facets of our glorious God. Right now (for how could we possibly delay something so wonderful?!) let’s start the dialogue.
I wonder what currently impacts you most about who God is? Or perhaps you have a question to ask about God? Share, respond, understand, do, repeat. Pursue knowing God.
Came across this A. W. Tozer quote this week about knowing God. “I have often wished that there were some way to bring modern Christians into a deeper spiritual life painlessly by short easy lessons; but such wishes are vain. No shortcuts exist! …May not inadequacy of much of our spiritual experience be traced back to our habit of skipping through the corridors of the kingdom like little children through the marketplace, chatting about everything but pausing to learn the true value of nothing…God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age (today: techno – age). It is well that we accept the hard truth now: the man who would know God must give time to him.” My Sylvan Sylvia Sanctuary and my outdoor prayer closet are such places and designated times given to Him. Let us draw near…
Great quote, Mike. My favorite place to “give time to God” is the forest trail. Beauty, calm, the Sustainer of all things. Drawing near, but wanting nearer yet.
