Destined for God

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1, NRSV


"The Christian community needs theologians to keep us thinking about God and not just making random guesses.

At the deepest levels of our lives we require a God whom we can worship with our whole mind and heart and strength. The taste for eternity can never be bred out of us by a secularizing genetics. Our existence is derived from God and destined for God. St. John stands in the front ranks of the great company of theologians who convince by their disciplined and vigorous thinking that theos and logos belong together, that we live in a creation and not a madhouse."

someone in my community group said that when we open our hearts, we can hear God's voice, and it is then that we worship.
