Dallas Notes: God Wants to Be Seen, or Was Jesus Nuts? (Renovare Conference, 1999)

God Wants to Be Seen, or Was Jesus Nuts? 


our lives are training for reigning, or training in reigning
evolution is presented as a way around God, as the solution to what this world is all about, as a picture of who you are and who i am
it pulls the knowledge of God out of the realm of knowledge and says you can be as well educated as possible and not know anything about God
Rom 1.19-20 all are w/o excuse
'I want to say to you, on the authority of Jesus, that if you have placed your trust in Him, what you think death is going to be will never happen to you. The very person and experience you are is going to continue through the time when others who are looking at you through this side will see that your body has stopped functioning. And you will continue in that life into the presence of God and you will see the world as you have never seen it before. You will begin to be in a position where, as Paul says in 1 Cor 13, 'we shall know as we are known'
Seeking is about wanting God enough to seek Him long enough for us to change so that when we find Him we can stand it.
Do we really want God? Do we hunger and thirst for Him?

you don't have to do disciplines everyday, but you do have to have good amounts every week, every month, etc.
take an afternoon and read the Gospel of John. and re-read it. and meditate on it.
[And pray it
Probably just reading once through is a good first step for me
Read NT twice through in a week]
