Several times this week I have heard people say that they want a closer relationship with God.
And after some studying and having conversations with different people of greater knowledge of it all than myself, I came up with this:
When we start a relationship with God, God is stationary, meaning He doesn't move. Which also means that it is up to us to make it grow or lessen.
A common phrase that my Youth Pastor Ketric uses is that praying is talking to God just like you talk to your best friend. So isn't the way that we get to know our friends is talking to them and spending time with them?
Also, if God gave us a book to get to know him better, shouldn't we use that as well?
Because the way I see it is that The Bible is our instruction manual to our relationship with God. And with eternity at stake here, then we might want to look into that.

:D makes sense to me
yeah man! right on!
keep digging into that Word.
its INCREDIBLE.
ya man! i know, thats the thing. like He needed everyone to see Him, but it still sucks. i mean who wants to be nailed to a cross with thorns on their head being scoffed at by all those people? thats what i meant. i know it had to happen though.
as for going for the top, THERE IS NO TOP! i love that though. because if there were, what would be the point of living? i just mean, im striving to get closer to Him. not expecting to exceed "the top" ;]!
thanks for commenting!
That's some good stuff! I'm so thankful He never moves.
ok this has nothing to do w/ anything, but you can't be the master at phase 10 bc I am silly!
cause you are silly? hmm well I already knew that! what does that have to do with me being the master at phase 10? ;]
no no...i think your mistaken. we'll just have a phase 10 showdown, k? lol...ill bring cards to church sometime haha
