How we talk to God

I heard Perry Noble speak at The City Church in Kirkland, WA yesterday (my daughter Caitlin attends there). His message was moving - great morning of worship & encouragement. One of the things he said was "we talk to God like we do because we don't know who he is..." He shared an example of a woman in his town who hadn't met him yet and was asking about what the pastor was like, and concluded by saying that she'd be the judge of whether he was good or not.

I think that sometime we talk to God like he's a politician; we voted for him, but we don't agree with all the things he does. We don't realize how great God is, how good God is, how loving God is! There is too little fear of God amongst us. Let's press in to know who God is and then talk with him in light of who he really is!

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction" (Prov 1:7)
