Am I wrong for wanting more God than social talk. I've learned that he's real and that is all that I desire .is it because I'm dumb or will I become like so many and just take him for granted?

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "social talk," but desiring God comes first and foremost. With that said, if you have truly received God, he begins working in and through you. You can no longer stay silent. You see lost and hurting people, as you once were, and are compelled to speak to them about the joy and salvation you've found, with the hopes that they, too, might be saved. God gives us salvation and offers us a relationship with him not just for our own benefit, but so that we might work to see others come to Him as well.

Spark ,  you sound like me ,when I go away with fellow Christians , I can't wait to take out my bible and have a Bible study , they can last for days , I love to hear about the things God has been doing in their lives ? How they met ? and dozens of other questions , In our Christian walk there are times life's problems and minutiae draw our thoughts away from Jesus , this happens , but he draws us back .

              Find a church and friends who feel the way you do , they're out there .

God bless you luv

You maintain a strong relationship with anyone that you spend time with.

This is the key to keeping God "fresh" in your life and in your heart.

= bible reading, = prayer time = praise time = Christian music, = do things every day with God, just like you would with your best friend, and the relationship wont grow cold or stale or distant.

Do you have any flowers or plants?....If you do then what happens when you dont water them?

This is the same as your relationship with God and Christ........the "watering" is the time you invest in being with them , which includes those things i listed.

Water the relationship all the time.....all the TIME....!

No you are not wrong as it is in Relationship with God that we find ourselves ,and finally what He wants from us . He heals us when we spend private time with Him ,and we need this very much.

After some time you will feel stronger ,and perhaps begin to go to join others .One of the problems for Christians is this lack of internal communing with God -those who don't have enough of it are superficial in their relations with all others, and with life itself .

The hard trials that come with life draw us close to Him again.  We learn to surrender and commit them to God and search the bible to see what the Scriptures have to say about the situation.  We ask God for wisdom as to what to do.  We ask Him for guidance in whom to marry, how to raise kids, jobs, finances etc.  God wants us to depend on Him.  To believe means to cling to, adhere to, trust in, rely upon.  

I know people who withdraw from everyone when they go through hard times or face problems.  It is because they think it is safer not to trust anyone.  But God is the one we are supposed to trust in. If we don't trust in Him we don't have true faith.  

Our pastor laughs because after he turned from sin and to God, and developed a daily relationship with Christ, his family and friends said that it was just another fad and it will pass.  He has served God for 40 years now.  People who take God for granted probably have never discovered how real God is and how intimate He can be with us.  They have never learned to hear His voice and walk with Him.  Perhaps they have kept Him at an intellectual distance.  But I have to warn you that feelings come and go.  That is one of the trials, to stick to Him when we don't have feelings and don't seem to be able to hear Him.  That is when I keep on doing the things I have learned in the past I should be doing.  I continue to pray, read God's Word, go to church and rely on Christ in me to love and forgive others.

No, you are not wrong. And you are certainly not dumb.

Fellowship with Christians is more than just a social thing. We need to encourage and build each other up, hold each other accountable, and correct in love when needed. Maybe you could try starting a conversation about deeper things or asking questions.

As far as taking things for granted or growing complacent, make the commitment not to do so. Never grow tired of thanking and praising God or growing in your faith. Stay committed to prayer, reading the Word, and fellowship.

No there is nothing wrong with wanting more God in our discussions.  He should be first and foremost in our thoughts and lives.

I'm not sure what you are asking really?Discovering that God is REAL is the Beginning of the Relationship afforded us by Jesus through our Faith in His Finished Work on the Cross,by the Grace of God we have been RECONCILED,reconciliation is the start of RELATING,COMMUNING with God in Christ,if this is ALL you desire then so it shall be.......and it gets better & better & better & better 

   Social talk? If you mean talking ABOUT God,things Eternal,Faith etc.... with others,well it is a good thing but the Relationship between YOU & God is yours alone,personal,individual & intimate.....it is KNOWING HIM,not knowing ABOUT Him....                      Praise & Glory to God!                     With love-in Christ,Kwik

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
