"Our pursuit of God is successful just because He is forever seeking to manifest Himself to us. The revelation of God to any man is not God coming from a distance upon a time to pay a brief and momentous visit to the man's soul. Thus to think of it is to misunderstand it all. The approach of God to the soul or of the soul to God is not to be thought of in spatial terms at all. There is no idea of physical distance involved in the concept. It is not a matter of miles but of experience." The Pursuit of God Ah, Tozer.

We (evangelicals in general) have been way too caught up in programs. Your thoughts are directly in line with the <a href="http://menwithchests.com/?p=199" rel="nofollow">Quote of the Day</a> I posted over at <a href="http://menwithchests.com/" rel="nofollow">menwithchests.com</a>. "The fundamental problem in the evangelical world today is that God rests too inconsequentially upon the church. His truth is too distant, His grace is too ordinary, His judgement is too benign, His gospel is too easy, and His Christ is too common." ~David Wells, "God in the Wasteland" The context of Wells quote was exactly your thoughts above. Bravo, you hit the nail directly on the head!!! Rory, great post! We (evangelicals in general) have been way too caught up in programs.
