Bible Question: For years I have been self detached from my Christian heritage.(Over 40 years.) I have lost contact with God and I very much need to get back on track and find Jesus once again...I don't know where to begin. I would very much like to hear from anyone who can give me advice as to where and how to begin a new relationship with the Lord. |
Bible Answer: My heart goes out to you. I know how difficult the trek back can seem, but remember the story of the Prodigal Son. He knew the father, lived with him all his life, but took his inheritance and did his own thing for many years. What is important about this story is the response of the Father. He saw him from afar (means he was waiting for him to come back), he RAN to him and placed him back in authority. Read Luke 15:11-32. Also read the promises contained in Joel. God will restore to you all that has been taken away. God is in the restoration business. As far as steps are concerned, repent (read Psalm 51, David's prayer of repentance) and read these passages, pray to God for guidance and find a church that will help you grow. God bless you!! |
