There is a vast difference between knowing about God, and “knowing” God. Our churches, Bible colleges and seminaries, are full of people who have accumulated a great deal of knowledge “about” God.

In a world that is moving as fast as today’s world, it takes making a conscious effort to make time to commune with God. The best of the relationship between a human and his Creator does not come with a quick prayer over a meal or our “now I lay me down to sleep” prayer.
