Lesson in Faith: Pursue God, Not Merely a Godly Life



The Bible is not a self help book. And God is not a life coach.


Lord, as a Christian, I get driven by my desire to pursue holiness.
Unfortunately, sometimes more than I want to pursue You.


But as the title that I bear implies, let me be more of a "Christ-ian."
A pursuer of Christ.
A lover of Christ.
A studier of Christ.
Forbid me from turning wayward like a Pharisee, who is only concerned with what men count as righteousness.
Instead, let me love you, honor you, and enjoy you like Mary did. Prevent me from a life of obliviousness, half-hearted works, and skewed worship like Martha.


I approach Your Word as a book about You.
It is not a book about me.
