Props to Angel Bob

Our speaker at Winterfest this past weekend was excellent. One of his illustrations really stuck out to me. He was talking about the difference between knowing about God and having a relationship with Him. He made the point that his favorite basketball player used to be Michael Jordan. He knew everything about Michael Jordan's career and could tell all sorts of statistics. This is how we treat God sometimes. We know all about Him, we can list lots of trivia and even tell great stories about things He has done; however that doesn't mean we are friends with Him. Just as knowing all about out favorite athlete or celebrity doesn't mean we can call them friend. The difference is celebrities and athletes, even the one with the most character don't want to be your friend. God does. Would you say you know God as a friend or that you know him based on his statistics?
