The God who was ... is

The stories in the bible that we talk about in Sunday School and on Sunday Mornings and on Sunday nights and on Wednesday nights, are not just cute little stories that we are trying to get you to remember. My goal is not to equip you with all of the right tools so that you can pass some sort of bible trivia game. Knowing facts about something doesn't necessarily qualify you as knowing something. For instance, you can know a lot of information about a certain celebrity, but that doesn't mean you know the celebrity. However, by knowing that person, and spending time with that person, you will begin to know about that person, and to actually know the person. Is that to confusing? My point is that there comes a time when you hear the stories of God's history and they become more that just stories about someone, but stories that actually help you personally know Him. There will come a point where these amazing, awesome stories become a revelation of God's awesome ability in your own life. If your not there yet, that's fine, everyone is at their own level of faith, all I'm encouraging you to do is spend the time to ask God to be that real to you. God answered those kinds of prayers to His people way back in bible times, and the God that was then, is the God that is now.
