Question Group Tonight

Just a reminder that our new Question Group series begins at 7:30 tonight at Dazbog Coffee located on 12th and Clayton in Congress Park. Tonight we will deal with the question, "can I find real meaning and purpose in the claims of Jesus?" Recently a lot of thinkers (e.g. famous atheist Sam Harris in his new book The Moral Landscape highlighted on 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart') have been seeking after happiness and meaning to no avail. Tonight, and for the following two Wednesdays, we will pose these of questions of meaning and purpose to the Historical Jesus and see what we discover. Hope you come check it out...

How do I know if I have really turned my life over to God?

Hey Gang. A Starbucks friend - who is also a fan of the blog - gave me this question a couple of week ago when I was making my 5AMish coffee run with Bex (my baby boy).

How do I know if I have really turned my life over to God? What are the indicators that I have achieved this or not?

Great question. It can be difficult to know if we have done enough to connect to God. In fact as we read thru Scripture we are not given too much confidence that we can really connect with God. Paul states straightforwardly in Romans 3:10-12 “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”


So, what is it gang? How do you know that you have turned your life over to God?
