I understand, because you do not know me beyond a very limited exchanging of words on this sight, it would be easy to come to that possible conclusion.
My walk with God is not going to look like your walk with God or anyone else, for that matter. Being that you and I are unique in who we are as a person, just as everyone else is unique in who they are, our walk with God will be unique to one another. Yes, there will be some commonalities, such as prayer and worship. But even then, my worship will look different than your worship based on talents and gifts.
I've always had a talent for explaining things in a simple to understand manner, mostly because I am just not that smart so my explanations are simple... like me. But my gift has been my capacity, through the Spirit, to see things in scripture that many don't. So in my case, my worship of God is me exercising my talents and gifts for the purpose of building up the church.
I think too many people have been led to believe you can separate the Word from God. That you can know the Word, but still not know God. John 1:1, 14, presence otherwise. You cannot know the Word and not know God. Likewise, you cannot claim to know God, but not know the Word. They are inseparable.
There is a choice, you can spend all of your time in the written word of GOD and only in prayer asking for things from GOD, or you can spend more of your time in prayer and worship with GOD (Who actually wrote the written word) and have HIM reveal it to you correctly.
As I said, Christianity is a Spiritual walk, not an intellectual one. Jesus didn't just argue and debate with people all the time under the guise of defending The Faith, He was an instrument of righteousness for The FATHER to operate through Him to HIS glory.
He is our example to follow and emulate,.... but I think very few people really realize that nowadays.
Anyways, laters.
