Great Question

Larry Crab, in his newest book, asks a question I can't get out of my mind:

Are churches helping people to KNOW God, or are they helping people USE God?

As Pastors, at every age level, we should spend a little time reflecting on this question.

God offers many promptings in His Word for us to expect great things from Him and to pursue those wonderful blessings. But that is a product of knowing Him, not, I think, to be our motive for serving Him.

How bout you? Is your ministry helping people know God? OR, is your ministry helping people learn to use God?
