We began the "Crazy Love" DVD series this evening in our ConnectGroup. It was an awesome time of discussion and community. Here are just a few things to think about as you reflect over Chapter One.
A.W.Tozer writes,
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us…Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like.
If the gravest question, before us really is what God Himself is like, how do we learn to know Him?
God is holy
God is eternal
God is all-knowing
God is all-powerful
God is fair and just
The appropriate way to reflect on this chapter is by standing in awed silence before a mighty, fearsome God, whose tremendous worth becomes even more apparent as we see our own puny selves in comparison.
Here are a few questions to ask yourself concerning the session: The first two come straight from the DVD
1. What are the first words that would come out of your mouth if you saw God face to face?
2. How has your relationship with God been over the past week?
3. What are we so easily prone to forget about God, even though He is so majestic and great?
4. How can we remind ourselves of His greatness and glory?
5. Why and how, do we become so numb to the fact that He is in control
