Since we finished our study of Head to Heart last Sunday, and we don't start the Christmas study until Sunday, here's some food for thought to chew on today:
"I want to grow beyond my childish understanding of God into an adult reality: A faith based on the facts of Scripture and the knuckle grinding reality of a day-to-day existence. I need more than a bedtime story. I need more than a youth group God. I am looking for a savior. A guide. An existential answer to my questions about purpose and meaning. I want true fulfillment in my Christian faith."
--Donald Miller, In Prayer and the Art of Volkswagon Maintenance.
Taking for granted that we all want "true fulfillment" in our Christian faith, how do we grow beyond our "childish understanding of God into an adult reality?" What practical things can we do (or avoid doing) that help us get this true fulfillment?
