Knowing Too Much About God

Can we really ever know too much about God?

Well, I guess not, but I do think we can ACT like we know too much about Him.

Specifically for Christian singles, how can we act like we know too much about God?
  • By presuming His grace and mercy - Sometimes we almost dare God to not extend His grace and mercy. We are getting ready to do something we know is wrong, but we choose to do it anyway because we presume God's forgiveness.
  • By doing the opposite of what we should do - Going to church is a prime example of this. Sometimes, we just make a decision to not go to church or pay tithes or even say hello because we don't want to. We claim that "God knows our heart" as if that excuses our behavior.
  • By not being a living witness to God's goodness - Since we are so familiar with God, we just assume others are as well or we don't really care if they are or not. Thus we take proper advantage of sharing the good news of God's love with others. It's like winning a multi-million dollar lottery and keeping that news (and the money) to yourself. Now that is just selfish!

Starting today, let's start living like there is so much more to learn about God and it is partly our responsibility to educate others about Him also. By doing that, we can learn a thing or two about this magnificent God we serve.
