        1. God wants you to know (who He is<\/strong><\/span>).<\/li>\n
        2. We are ALL on a (desperate search<\/strong><\/span>) to know who God is.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u201cThere is a God-shaped vacuum in each of us that only God can fill.\u201d<\/p>\n

          Pictures of God we have:<\/p>\n

                1. The \u201cOld Man Upstairs\u201d God.<\/li>\n
                2. The \u201cList Keeper\u201d God.<\/li>\n
                3. The \u201cForce Be With You\u201d God.<\/li>\n

                  Three deeply held convictions:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. \n
                      \n
                    1. \n
                        \n
                      1. \n
                          \n
                        1. We must derive our knowledge of God (from the Bible alone<\/strong><\/span>), and not from personal experience or preferences.<\/li>\n
                        2. The clearer we see God, the clearer (we see ourselves<\/strong><\/span>).<\/li>\n
                        3. The better we know God the more sincerely and fervently we shall (worship<\/strong><\/span>) Him.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
