Bible Note: I totally agree there is way to much hype within the Christian community over many books. I disagree that Experiencing God was a "works" book where you memorized scripture. First faith without works is dead. Secondly if we are going to learn and memorize anything should it not be scripture? I think you missed the whole thrust of Experiencing God, Blackby wasn't trying to negate the work of the Holy Spirit but in fact was emphasizing His work and the authors used scripture to teach each believer how to be more in tune with the Holy Spirit and His leading to accomplish that. I find many people today that do not have a 'one on one' relationship with God their Father. They have never heard His voice speaking to them. Their communication with God is limited to one way prayer and discernment of God's will from scripture. Experiencing God urges and teaches the student to develop a meaningful relationship with the Living God our Father. The authors used the lessons found in scripture to teach their students how to develop a personal relationship with God, a relationship that is real and meaningful. A relationship where you are no longer along, no longer in fear, no longer in doubt because you have a love relationship with the Heavenly Father. I'm sorry you did not pick this up from the teaching. However I'm certain a meaningful relationship with God can be learned without this book. Scripture tells us we have everything we need to find and develop that relationship. First we have to sacrifice all and seek the Kingdom of God. That seems to be "the" stumbling block in the walk of many. EdB |
