Maybe saying God gets lonely was a bad way to word it. But I do think he gets saddened when we do not spend the quality time we should with Him. When we put Him on the back burner. That is kinda what i was going for. But dude, you know i dont think that way about you. Opinions are great. we dont have to see eye to eye on things. your a rockstar dudeOne-Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11705740893059194893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964337740798024215.post-40027560273860384742009-12-30T13:56:19.409-08:002009-12-30T13:56:19.409-08:00"Scot, dude, this is the feeling I have when ..."Scot, dude, this is the feeling I have when you ignore me. I have all the people in the world to be around, but I want to be with you."<br /><br />Wait a minute… God isn’t lonely when we ignore Him – There’s nothing in Scripture that tells of Gods’ loneliness—? He doesn’t sit in Heaven, all alone, waiting for us to recognize Him or spend time with Him! God is self-existent – He doesn’t need us, we NEED Him. I believe that feelings of loneliness are fine all by themselves without roping some sudo-spiritual aspect along with them. Feeling lonely is quite a normal human thing to feel – even if you’re completely 100% trusting in God and all of His promises. <br /><br />There are plenty of solid, Bible-believing, Jesus-loving, and growing Christians out there that ARE lonely. Not just feeling lonely – they are lonely. The widow / widower next door, that 45 year old single woman who’s never been married, that Christian teenager or spouse living with non-Christian family…etc…<br /><br />Sorry if I came off as mean… I really don't mean to be - my intentions are not to mock or poke fun.<br /><br />I get what you’re saying – but I think it’s bigger than you’re allowing it to be.<br /><br />Sure, if you are neglecting to spend time in study and prayer with and about God, you need to address that issue and seek His will through it. Not merely seeking a good ‘feeling’ from it, BUT seeking to change your patterns to recognize Him in every aspect of your life – seeking to learn more about Him, by studying your Bible, so you can understand and know Him better – asking for confidence IN CHRIST in ‘loneliness’ or any other 'feeling' you're experiencing. Concentrating on Him rather than concentrating on feeling better about Him. A Christian seeking his / her feelings can be referred to as a ‘Sensuous Christian’.<br /><br />A ‘Sensuous Christian’ (notice I did not say sensual, but sensuous…there’s a difference) lives by their feelings rather than through what they know – in other words: lives by their feelings rather than through their understanding of the Word of God. See, you’re being moved to recognize Christ more because of your feelings. Now, I’m not saying that being moved by worship or a circumstance or a conversation or a sermon is wrong, but the reason behind it has to fit with a correct understanding of Scripture and how God has revealed Himself through Scripture. However, a sensuous Christian sees no need to study the Word of God in order to discern God’s will because they already know God’s will by their feelings. Ask around – I’m sure you would find many ‘Sensuous Christians’ (maybe not self-proclaimed, but who definitely fit the criteria).<br /><br />In his book Knowing Scripture, R.C. Sproul said, “Sensuous Christians go their merry way until they encounter the pain of life that is not so merry—and they fold. They usually end up embracing a kind of ‘relational theology’ where personal relationships and experience take precedence over the Word of God” and “The highest law of sensuous Christians is that bad feelings must be avoided at all cost.”<br /><br />Scot, I’m not accusing you of being a sensuous Christian – but we (me and you) have to always be careful that our priorities are correct. Seek wisdom through the teaching of Scripture OVER seeking to satisfy your feelings.<br /><br />With Love,<br /><br />SamSamuel John Gietzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15104314979507916178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964337740798024215.post-12636219813874130582009-11-29T07:07:33.211-08:002009-11-29T07:07:33.211-08:00Hi, it's a great blog.

Maybe those situations are so comfortable for us that we find ourselves more open to God during them. Who knows?
