Search the Bible at BibleGateway. I decided to become an astrophysicist at the age of eight. I read all the physics and astronomy books in the children’s section of my library. My family supported my voracious appetite for knowledge. My teachers assigned me lots of extra-curricular projects in the social sciences, which eventually sparked my spiritual quest. In my last year of high school, I studied the Thirty Years’ War for one extra project. I wondered why the Catholics and Protestants shed so much blood over trivial doctrine. I posed tough questions to my teacher, who sent me off to the library to read books on comparative religions. Read More... The Goal Of My Life. It was a real struggle for me to become a Christian for a number of reasons. I had always prided myself in being a self-made man. I was used to being in control of my life. I was also afraid of what my friends would think. I looked at Christianity’s ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ and thought that it was so narrow. Read More... Tunnel Vision. In 1971, the troubles in Northern Ireland were increasingly becoming a danger to me and to my six children. We listened to horror stories of suffering every day on the radio.

What’s Next? So you’ve asked for God’s forgiveness of your evilness, acknowledged that Jesus’ punishment was for you, and decided live a life in the favor of God. Well then, here’s how it works: Having a relationship with God is a lot like relationships between people. If you think about it, would God really expect us to live in a way that we couldn’t relate to? If that’s the case, then what makes for a good relationship between people?
You get the idea. The list could become quite long. Actually, Jesus speaking in the Bible sums it up really quite well; “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.”.( Luke 10:37) There it is… there’s not much else to say. To perfect this love for God, think about first loving yourself. Imagine for a moment that ‘perfect’ friend. The way you would love to be treated (go back to the list above). You can become that ‘perfect’ friend to yourself, someone else (wife and kids, mom, dad…), and ultimately you become a ‘friend of God’. A well known public speaker often says “You are the same today as you’re going to be in five years except for two things, the people you meet and the books you read.” (Charlie ‘Tremendous’ Jones). If you think that statement has merit, then why not take a close look at where you get your information from and who you hang out with. Here’s a plan to get you started in the right direction:
