Draw Near

from The Word from St. Andrews · host St. Andrews Baptist Church

Dear St. Andrews Family, Maybe I shouldn’t admit this to good Christians, but a few years ago I rocked out with thousands of other people to “Pour some Sugar on Me” and “Hysteria.” Most of the people were drunk or high, but I was loving Def Leppard completely unintoxicated (because I am a goody two shoes). It was awesome. But there was a problem. My seats were so far away that I could barely see them. I wanted to get up close and really see them. I wanted to be right there with them but alas, my nosebleed tickets were $90.00 and I wasn’t about to spend anything more to get up close. If you really love something, don’t you want to get up close? To draw near? This week we will talk about the faith of Enoch who seemed to be so close to God that one day God just took him home with him. That’s some amazing nearness. I wonder what it would look like for us to draw near to God. Let’s read Hebrews 11:5-6 and think about that this week. Pastor Jace
