Knowing God, Know, Really, by Kelly Irvin

Many things in God's instructive word are easy to understand, yet having a lack of commitment, people familiar with the Scripture can twist obvious truths to their own spiritual destruction. In pursuing a relationship with God, it is easy, because of the influence of society, to disregard the importance of everything we think, say, and do. We might easily grasp the obvious, but thoughtlessness relating to entrenched societal influences can lead us to still lack a truly intimate relationship with God. What might it mean to bring every thought into subjection, living in the world but choosing to not be a part of the world?
