Failure

What Is God's Will?

What Is God's Will?

I fear that many people seek to hear God solely as a device for obtaining their own safety, comfort and sense of being righteous… My extreme preoccupation with knowing God's will for me may only indicate, contrary to what is often thought , that I am overconcerned with myself, not a Christlike interest in the well-being of others or in the glory of God.

(Dallas Willard, Hearing God)

More God.

More God.

In an age of information overload… the last thing any of us needs is more information about God. We need the practice of incarnation, by which God saves the lives of those whose intellectual assent has turned them dry as dust, who have run frighteningly low on the bread of life, who are dying to know more God in their bodies. Not more about God. More God.
