First Church of God

I have felt close to God for a long time.  I’ve read awe inspiring books, seen the power of prayer, and given myself fully to God in worship.  There have been many moments when I’ve heard God’s voice, felt His presence, and experienced deep intimacy. 

But that’s it… just moments; moments that leave me longing for more. What if I could multiply moments into minutes?  And what if I could combine minutes into hours of continuous connection with God?  Can we have an ongoing depth of intimacy with God that extends over time? 

I plan to find out by entering into “experiments”, certain challenges or ideas I will put into practice to see how they work.   It calls for a lot of effort and discipline, yet at the same time I assume it will be exhilarating, fulfilling, and even fun. 

So, what will my first experiment be?  I want to start with something simple; something I can have some success with.  I’m going to hit pause for a few and ponder that, and maybe later today I’ll come up with an idea to get started.
