Draw Near to God

  • An inner teacher that contradicts scripture is not the Holy Spirit, but rather an unholy spirit.
  • We can have an ethical shell without a spiritual heart.
  • Is Jesus just a tool for me to get something (salvation)? If not, if I claim He is more than a tool to me, am I really drawing near to Him?
  • We draw near to God by actively practicing spiritual disciplines. Prayer; fasting; discernment; wise and godly counsel; being immersed in scripture; regular worship with fellow believers.
  • You will get something, but don't come to get; come for Him.

I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

- John 6:35
