How Much Do You Know?
Why don't you know more about God? Why don't you have, as we have as a value in this church, why don't you always work to maintain a high view of God? Get a higher view of God, increase your knowledge of God, know more about God?
And you might say, as many people do, although they probably wouldn't word it to the senior pastor, they would say, "I am fine with the knowledge I have. The stuff about God I don't know, whatever." They shrug their shoulders. Whatever it might be, some aspect of God or how he deals with people or God's judgment, or hell or the trinity, or man's responsibility and God's sovereignty. I don't want to know about all that. I'm just fine. Right?
All I want to do is know how the switch flips so I can go to heaven. I don't need to learn about the wires and electricity and polarization and amperes, I don't need to learn about all that. That's just complicated. So a lot of us sit here today with a purposeful, willful agnosticism in our Christianity, and we don't want to go further.
