Back to Basics
Back to Basics
One of our greatest needs today is for people to really see and really believe the things they already profess to see and believe. Knowing about things—knowing what they are, being able to identify them and say them—does not mean we actually believe them. When we truly believe what we profess, we are set to act as if it were true. Acting as if things are true means, in turn, that we live as if they were so.” (Dallas Willard, Introduction to Life Without Lack)
These words resonate with my heart. In our previous series (“I Just Don’t Get It”) we discussed the difference between knowledge of God, and really knowing God. Jonah didn’t seem to get it because his love toward others didn’t conform to the example set by God. In this series, we’re going to go “back to the basics” and uncover truths about God that we think we already know. In rediscovering what we think we know, the goal will be to learn to trust those things and live “as if they were so.” The goal is not more knowledge, but deeper relationship rooted in trusting the character and nature of God. We are looking forward to the journey. Will you join us?
