Pastor's Message

Relationship with God


The most invigorating thing for me as a Pastor is when someone asks me a question about faith rather than church business or a building issue. Recently someone sent me this email: “I’m presently reading Donald Miller’s ‘Searching for God Knows What’ which is a series of essays on the relational aspect of Christianity. He argues that modern Christianity has moved towards trying to condense the Christian message to an intellectually easy formula for the purpose of conveying the Gospel to the unconverted; that one can’t easily summarize in common language the relational aspect of Christianity, especially the relationship with a living, present Jesus. I find much of what he argues to be agreeable but I have been pausing as I examine my own relationship with Christ. As you know, a conscience contact with a Higher Power is part of the 12 Step programs and is something I’ve been working at for many years. However, I sometimes feel like my ability to have a conscience contact with God is on the level of having an ‘imaginary friend.’ That is not to say I don’t have faith that God exists but I sometimes (in my more cynical moments) question how tangible that relationship can be. There have been times when I have, inexplicably, felt very close to God but these times have not been consistent and have been more extraordinary than common. My question is, what is your perception of a relationship with God? Is this something you struggle with? (Actually, that is two questions). I’d be very curious to get your insights.”    MORE...
