Thank you for this article. I am 64 year old lady and have been in the church most of my life. I even hold a church position. Listening to others I wonder if I really know God as I ought.
I love reading the bible but it mostly comes more interesting and meaningful when I am studying it with others.

In reply to LibertarianThinker. God is serious about everything... but he gives more grace, and praise him for his gracious mercy! I know I need it. :)

This really spoke to me. I am middle-age, and most of my life was spent like that. Only recently have I realized I need to actually relate to/with God, and that is a scary thought. Thank you for this post.

Good points, Brennan. It seems that God is sifting Christians this year to see whether they’re really ready to put their money where their mouth is. My latest blog suggests a simple way to get to know God better through His names and praying the verses that contains those names: https://www.lanachristian.com/why-claim-the-names-of-god/

Spending time with. That’s how one “knows” someone. Exactly. Needed this reminder.

Brennan, this is so good, so encouraging, so vital. Thank you!
There are many waiting for a revival, but they are thinking it is going to look like a Billy Graham crusade, big crowds, big stadiums, etc.
However, I think there is an amazing revival going on right now, quietly, all over our country and the globe – learning this very thing of which you speak.
So many of us growing up in the church have given lip-service to a ‘relationship with God’ but have had very little daily experience of His Presence, His Voice, His Heart.
But, He is not satisfied with His sons and daughters talking about Him like He is not in the room. So He is drawing many hearts into the reality of what you are describing.
It seem to me that this is as a prophetic voice to this generation describing what He is doing! Speak on!
I think the great challenge facing the church post-covid is to learn how to do corporate worship with the priority of what you describe here, with authentic relationship building passion. “How can any of us avoid a purely intellectual interest in God, or in the reverse a purely sentimental affection that lacks any substance?” Yes! How do we ‘do church’ in that mode, with a passion for knowing Him rather than just a drive to get people back in the building?
