Are you caught between doubt and despair because you’ve been trying to worship the 

bodyguard god, on-demand god, boyfriend god, guilt god, anti-science god, gap god, or 

angry-Old-Testament god? If big-G God has lost his appeal because you’ve mixed him up 

with a gaggle of little-g gods who don’t exist, then how can you know what God is really 

like?

 

If you could see God just once, wouldn’t it settle your fears, give you assurance, and 

motivate you to hold firm in your faith? If you want to know what God says, listen to 

Jesus. If you want to know what God is up to, watch Jesus. If you want to have a closer 

relationship with God, follow Jesus. John 14:7-11; John 4:24; Luke 11:2; 1 John 14
