Knowing God vs Knowing About God

from Let's Talk About It w/ Ed and LaMeka

What if everything you've ever done in the name of God meant absolutely nothing? Pastor Ed and Pastor LaMeka open with that sobering reality, anchoring their message in Matthew 7:21-23, where Jesus says to busy, ministry-filled people, "Depart from me, I never knew you"—not because they were strangers to church, but because they were strangers to God's heart. Through a brilliantly relatable "peanut butter cup" illustration, Pastor LaMeka reveals that knowing facts about someone—even God—is worlds apart from truly knowing them. Pastor Ed sharpens this with 1 Corinthians 13:1-3: *"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as a sounding brass."* Together, they expose how ministry activities, church routines, and scripture-quoting can quietly substitute for genuine intimacy with God. The piercing question they leave us with: if every Christian habit were stripped away, what would remain of your relationship with Him? The answer, they say, is worship—intentional, personal, love-driven time in His presence. Don't perform Christianity any longer. Choose intimacy. Make time for Him today.
