Why? Because, whether we know it or not, what we think about God determines how we live our lives. What we believe about God shapes our morals, values, influences, attitudes, actions, and self-image. Most people have an opinion about God, some more impassioned than others. Some say he never existed, some claim that he’s dead, and some say it doesn’t really matter one way or the other. There are those who will tell you that God does exist, but he’s not all that interested or involved with the affairs of this world. Others see him as a meddling cosmic killjoy, the ultimate party crasher who’s out to spoil their fun. He often gets the blame for wars waged in his name, for natural disasters that he should have prevented, and for personal dreams that he didn’t deliver. What do you think? Make no mistake; the question of who God is matters greatly. And yet, how much can we really know about Him? Is he even really knowable? Has he revealed himself to us in a way that we can know who he really is? Come and see for yourself as we focus on the vital question, “Who are You, God?” 2010-04-11T15:44:42+00:00
