It is incredibly important to live a life of communing with God. Not just reading books. Not just listening to sermons. Not just talking theology with friends. Not just subscribing to the hottest podcast, blog, or attending great conferences.
I’m talking personal dialogue with the Holy Spirit.
While all those things are valuable in their place, nothing can replace personal communion with God. You must have a personal walk with God as a your life foundation.
If you do not have a personal, daily time with God where you talk with Him, you may be living off someone else’s revelation and journey. You can deceive yourself into thinking you personally know God, when actually you may rarely speak with Him. How can you know someone if you don’t hang out together?
Is your faith your own, or are you living off someone else’s?
