Tell It Like It Is 2

The God I came to know so long ago when just a child is the same God my mother introduced to me. I know that God today, and He will be the same God that I will know tomorrow. He is not abstract, mysterious, or hidden. He must be contacted within a context. I have come to know Him as the God of the Bible. I choose to never drift outside the Biblical context. That approach is the foundation of what I have come to believe, and it is my choice because it is God's mandate. Personal encounters in dreams, medicines, out-of-body experiences or the 'unexplainable' must need bow to the context of Scripture. Even if dressed in tradition and wearing the name of Christianity, if our endeavors of religion are pre or post-Biblical or otherwise, it is 'time-out'. As the Biblical psalmist would say, "Selah". It's high time we pause. We are out of bounds; beyond the rule of play, and the game is over. 102822PS

Whoever you come to know in an intimate way is no longer a mystery. When you call upon God He is certainly found and in scripture. His love is all around us. Some only look inside themselves.
