I recorded an earlier episode about being a highchair Christian: never learning to feed ourselves from God's Word - and shabbily short on private prayer and worship (Check it out: "The Joy of Being a Closet Christian.") In this episode, I've added "sluggish" to describe Christians who are satisfied with the present evangelical status quo: If it doesn't make you feel good, you are falling short of what it means to have a relationship with God. It produces what I experienced in my life: running in circles in "the wilderness" and being blindsided that I was there: embarrassingly sluggish in my relationship with God. I discovered that Proverbs 2:1-5 was the way out. I said pretty much the same thing in the first episode about being a high-chair Christian. This time, I added something new and powerfully transformative that I've recently learned about, which links to the Proverbs 2 promises of discerning the fear of God and discovering the knowledge of God. There are two Hebrew words translated into English as "fear" that have different meanings. One speaks of being terrified of God and running from Him. The other speaks of moving toward Him in awe and reverence, safe in Christ and in the Father's love: the promise of making Proverbs 2:15 the goal of our Christian life, and "doing it! - no room being sluggish. So, listen to this video, and get going. From my heart to yours, Dennis
