Do you know Him?

Had a great time with other men from The Chapel tonight. Many thoughts are stirring, but here's one simple question for us tonight...

Do you know God? Do I?

Before you answer, consider...

Moses didn't have the new testament or the prophets. He didn't have the law. He knew God well enough to WRITE the law.

Consider the apostles. They didn't have the new testament. They had the law and the prophets and the commands of Christ having walked with Him. And, THEY HAD GOD, the Holy Spirit, given at Pentacost. With that, they had enough to merely write the New Testament we hold to.

I'm afraid that in our day, instead of the writings of Moses, the prophets, the apostles spurring us to know God more, even in greater measure than they, we have exchanged knowing God for memorization and knowledge of the very words that the heroes of the faith WALKED with God to get.

See, the forefathers knew God, and wrote through inspiration, through knowing Him. If we only then use their writings as an end in of themself and not as an invitation to know that same God, then we have missed it.

We know of Him, but do we KNOW HIM?

So I ask again: Do you and I really KNOW God? Really?
