Pastor Mike Fabarez teaches about the Things That Stand in the Way between us and salvation. One of those things is money. But anything can be an idol if we’re not willing to give it up for God.
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.
