But what about the interests of our time now, where Christians spend far too much time being trying to merge our spiritual lives with national politics or creative reinterpretations of the Bible? I’ll say it clearly: for a Christian, our number one priority is not pursuing whatever interests us, even if it relates to God. Our purpose in life is to know God This means we need to continue to learn more about Him, actively, carefully, and daily, beyond our Christian ABCs.
