In this message given the day after Zane’s 65-year-old birthday party, Zane looks at the nation of Israel and their turning away from the Lord after the times of Joshua and various judges. Zane applies this as an illustration and warning for our own Christian lives. A Christian can drift so far from God that God is a stranger to such Christian. The surest evidence that we as Christians are not having intimate fellowship with God is disobedience to His commandments. Are we committed to God and walking in His ways, so that God will not be a stranger? Other passages mentioned include: John 17:3-4; 1 John 2:3-4; Proverbs 3:11-12; Hebrews 10:30-31; Hebrews 12:28-29.
