If you’ve ever lived abroad then you know what it’s like to live under foreign laws. You may have not agreed with them all, but you submitted because it wasn’t your country. Pastor Mike Fabarez reminds us as expats of heaven, we’re still expected to respect and honor our earthly authorities.
You can know something about a person, their biography, greatest achievements, famous sayings...but still be a stranger to them. Real relationships require something more. Presence. Pursuit. A genuine willingness to close the distance.
If you want to pursue a deeper relationship with God, be sure to request the book The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer.
