Our readings in this series are from the book, Revived! Here is a brief excerpt from page 46:
“People are created for seeking God. Paul says this is the reason God separated humankind into nations, with borders, polities, cultures, and social systems of many kinds. It is built into the human soul to aspire beyond the confines of body, time, and space, and to connect with Him in Whose image we have all been created.
“As if to emphasize the importance of this as the fulfillment of our humanity, Scripture repeatedly commands people to seek the Lord. The problem with people who are in rebellion against God, and who prefer the lie to Him and His truth, is that their seeking mechanisms have all been compromised. Their minds are clouded in the darkness of unbelief, and their hearts are hardened against the true and proper goal of all seeking. Under such circumstances, people don’t stop seeking, they simply turn to other things and pursue them, in the vain belief that idols of their own imagining will bring the peace and joy in their souls which only God can provide.”
For a limited time, you can order Revived! together with the previous book in our Read Moore series, The Church Captive, at no cost. Order copies for yourself and for a study group or companion. And you can download a free discussion guide for both books.
