As we do some of our summer reading on the topic of a "contrarian's guide to knowing God", perhaps one must explore the meaning of the word contrarian... In agreement with Larry Osborne, the author we presently read, "contrarian thinking for the sake of being contrarian is an arrogant waste of time". Ours is the pursue of a deeper, closer, real relationship with God. A hunger to experience a God pleasing spirituality and a quest for HIS truth which drive us to question, to speak, to challenge ourselves and others.
Being a contrarian is not being an anarchist. It is merely asking: "Is that really true?"
As we dive deep into comparing what we read against the absolute truth of God's Word, we shall grow closer to Him. The closer we get to Him, the more we will hunger and thirst for Him. We shall find Him when we search for Him with all our hearts!
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
What is your quest? How do you experience God?
