Let me unpack this for you: somewhere along the way, I began to cultivate a warped view of the trinity (One God in three persons: The Father, Jesus His Son, and the Holy Spirit). I began to see God like a totem pole: God the Father was the general, Jesus was 2nd in command, like a lieutenant, and the Holy Spirit was someone or something that I chose to ignore. He sort of scared me, and it was much easier if I just didn’t think about Him too often.
God convicted me of this earlier this year, and I dove head first into studying the Holy Spirit. I began an in depth study of the book of Acts, and read several books by many different people. Of all of the ones I read, “Forgotten God” was the one book that made total sense to me. I truly believe Francis Chan was honest about feeling the same way I did, and decided to hit the issue head on instead of ignoring it. I am so glad He did. This book completely changed how I follow Jesus. I can honestly say that I feel closer to God because I read this book.
If you want to grow in your walk with Jesus and grow closer with God, take a moment to read “Forgotten God”. You’ll be the better for it!
