“People say they love truth, but in reality they want to
believe that which they love is true.”
-Robert Ringer
“What up Big Dawg?!, my buddy’s dad used say this to me
every time I came over to play basketball. Somehow I wanted to be this because it sounded cool even
though I didn’t know what it meant. As a baby-Christian I often waited for a euphoric feeling to
cue me that God is trying to get my attention, but as I’ve grown in my
relationship with God I’ve learned that feelings are fleeting. A feeling might or might not come. Feelings alone may cause you to shoot
an air ball, and God might want to speak to us in a more substantive way. When you open your Bible and spend time
with God in His written-Word, you begin to learn God’s playbook: the pick-and-roll
prayer life and the Spirit-led jump shot.
Each day we must desire and decide to grow into Big Dawg-Christians, gaining
a more mature understanding of God’s personality, His plan and purpose for our
lives.
And so, God willing,
we will move forward to further understanding (Hebrews 6:3, NIV).
