‘In order for us to become the people God designed us to
be and dreams that we can become, we must entrust
ourselves fully to Him. But we can’t do that you see unless
we truly believe that God is good - to the core of His Being.’
- Dallas Willard (paraphrase)

“That our idea of God corresponds as
nearly as possible to the true being of God
is of immense importance to us. GOOD
Compared with our actual thoughts about
Him, our creedal statements are of little
consequence. Our real idea of God may lie
buried under the rubbish of conventional
religious notions and may require an
intelligent and vigorous search before it is
finally unearthed and exposed for what it
is. Only after an ordeal of painful self-
probing are we likely to discover what we
actually believe about God.

A right conception of God is basic not
only to systematic theology but to
GOOD
practical Christian living as well. It is to
worship what the foundation is to the
temple; where it is inadequate or out of
plumb the whole structure must sooner or
later collapse. I believe there is scarcely
an error in doctrine or a failure in
applying Christian ethics that cannot be
traced finally to imperfect or ignoble
thoughts about God.”
[A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy, pg. 10]

although you pray about them, you’re
not sure how God will choose to answer
them?
