The book I’m reading dedicated just about one entire chapter to pointing out that the problem with Christianity is a problem of depth.
Why do so many of us fall away or become lukewarm?
It is because our inner life lacks depth, it is because our relationship with God lacks depth. We may know all the bible verses there is to know, we may attend all the prayer meetings and services there are to attend, but we lack the true knowing of Christ in our inner being.
David made cultivating his inner life his one true goal.
Psalm 27:4
“One thing have I desired of the Lord, that I will seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.”
Cultivating one’s inner life to some is just a goal amongst others, it my not be a goal at all to others. And yet to a few, it is THE goal.
It’s no longer just a question of growth, but of what kind of growth.
