"That our idea of God correspond as nearly as possible to the true being of God is of immense importance to us. Compared with our actual thought about Him, our creedal statements are of little consequence. Our real idea of God may lie buried under the rubbish of conventional religious notions and may require an intelligent and vigorous search before it is finally unearthed and exposed for what is is. Only after an ordeal of painful self-probing are we likely to discover what we actually believe about God."
A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy
How many of us are content with what we have learned about God from Sunday school? What would Christianity look like to the world if we were more passionate about knowing our God? Why do so many of us settle for what we already know about God instead of daring to go deeper?
