Searching for God Knows What

I am reading a new book. It is called Searching for God Knows What and it is written by Donald Miller. I am not very far into his book but I am already thinking that this is one I will be thinking about for sometime after the last page. His argument is that rather than a formula for getting in God's good graces God is interested in a relationship with us which is much harder to pull off.

In the second chapter he is speaking about those who act/live as though they know everything there is to know about God and thus feel free to decide who is right and who is wrong. Miller believes that Jesus throws a major monkey wrench in this outlook. He writes...

"And that is one of the things that you notice about Jesus in the Gospels, that He is always going around saying, You have heard it said such and such, but I tell you some other thing. If you happen to be a person who thought that they knew everything about God, Jesus would have been completely annoying,"
Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller (pg. 21)

Wanted to leave you with that thought for today.

Peace,
Brett
