The Critical Need for Resting with God in Silence

In his book Beloved, Francis Chan tells the story of when his daughter was in Bible College and the teacher asked the class to sit silently alone with God for 7 minutes – and how most students couldn’t do it and started reaching for their phones or playing music. Chan writes: “Silence and meditation are very important spiritual disciplines that are getting utterly lost in the American church. If you find yourself unable to be quiet for any length of time, you urgently need to start working out that spiritual muscle… This is not a light matter – I truly believe it is critical to the longevity of your faith.” In this broadcast, Mike and Bekah discuss the need to rest with God in silence. “in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30:15

Be Careful Who You Listen To

In his autobiography “Surprised by Joy,” CS Lewis shares how, as a teen, he was deceived into walking away from the faith by a teacher at school who was into the wrong side of the fence spiritually, and, a professing Christian who distorted CS Lewis’ view of prayer, effectively giving him a bad taste for it. In our post-truth culture of today, it’s critical to understand that the Bible is the final voice on all truth, and that we’re in a spiritual battle where the enemy will try to deceive us – even by other believers. I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me. Psalm 101:6
