Knowing the Known God

November 10, 2019 | David Speakman

Series: Witness Unhindered

Scripture: Acts 17:16-34

“I do not understand the mystery of grace – only that it meets us where we are and does not leave us where it found us.”

Anne Lamott

“Longing for God arises in every human soul because it is part of the soul’s standard equipment. We have been endowed by our Creator with a sensus divinitatis (‘a sense of divinity’), wrote John Calvin, and everywhere in the world, even when it expresses itself as idolatry, the sense of divinity is the seed of religion. God has made us for himself. Our sense of God runs in us like a stream, even though we divert it toward other objects. We human beings want God even when we think that what we really want is a green valley, or a good time from our past, or a loved one. Of course we do want these things and persons, but we also want what lies behind them. Our ‘inconsolable secret,’ says C.S. Lewis, is that we are full of yearnings, sometimes shy and sometimes passionate, that point us beyond the things of earth to the ultimate reality of God.”

Cornelius Plantinga

“You don’t experience God; you get to know him . . . You enjoy him. He is, after all, a person.”

Paul Miller
