One of the books that I am reading right now is called
Reveal. It has been really eye opening for me. The subtitle of the book is: where are you? The book was written by two of the higher ups at willow creek who discovered through some yearly surveys a trend that was really disturbing to them. Upon further (very intense and scientific) study they realized that they had been judging whether or not people were becoming disciples by how much they were participating in church programs. Their discovery was that was not a good way to find out how people really felt about God. Their data showed that most people were involved in activity but not spiritual growth. Troubling research.
That was a longer explaination then I intended. Basically the question that they ask coming out of this book is: where are you? As I begin this quest I feel like it is an appropriate question for me to ask of myself as well. Where am I. To be honest the answer scares me. I am afraid to even answer this question, but I feel like I cant go any where without knowing where I am starting from. So here goes.
Where am I? Well I am at home sitting at my kitchen table typing this blog right now. Where am I with God. I know that I Love Him. I know that I need him. I know I need to get closer to him.
Where are you?
