Come engage in a conversation that has the power to alter the way you see God forever. Dr. George Bowker and Levi Ferguson join us as we discuss the most essential yet often overlooked truth of God's nearness.
Although we may never verbally question this truth, many doubt its reality. And unfortunately we have been taught a mixed message. In actuality most of us have been told God is somewhere in the sky, that He occasionally comes down, checks in, takes roll, tallies our good works, or pops in for a quick chat or answer to prayer. Many have adopted the perspective that if we worship, confess, or pray enough than God will respond and come near. The lie of God's distance has masqueraded itself under many religious pretenses that seem so right but actually have their origin in paganism.
The most fundamental truth of Christianity is the nearness of God. This truth is realized in Jesus and clearly depicted in His incarnation. The Father stepped into human skin and communicated His commitment to us even while we were still sinners. This truth is so glorious that one could spend eternity exploring its depths. Sit back, relax, and drink some tea as we increase our awarness of His very real presence.
