In this video, we're going to look at the question, “If God is such a relational God, why does he allow evil in the world?” It's a very good question. In fact, it's such a good question that many people use it as an objection to belief in God. So, I figured is pretty important to talk about.

036 SNS Video: How to get a Deeper Relationship with God?
This video is about, "How to get a Deeper Relationship with God?" A question sent in by frischer kaese. A relational God demands a relational answer to this question. So, the answer involves going deeper than the simple and safe answer of, "Read the Bible and pray." Yes, reading the Bible every day and praying continuously to God are both intrinsic parts of growing in a relationship with him. Yet, the Pharisees did this and came up lacking. The answer involves Luke 6 and 1John 4. It involves pursuing God himself, not mere facts about him and loving those that common sense tells us to hate.
** Jarod Smith of newtribe.church, thank you for allowing me to use your insights into Luke 6. They made all the difference to this video.
