Adrenaline junkies will do whatever it takes to chase that thrilling rush of emotion, whether it’s jumping out of a plane or careening down a mountain.

On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez explains that pursuing the experience will only lead us to a spiritual dead end! God has a much better goal in mind.
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.
