What God Uses

What does God use to change our life – to make us more like him?

Look at the woman at the well in John 4. She asked Jesus theological questions, like about where to worship – mostly because he was getting too close for comfort talking about her life. She was trying to change the subject. He answered her question, but steered the conversation back to himself and to her.

Her life was changed by that encounter on a hot afternoon, but not because he taught her such awesome theology about where to worship. Her life was changed because of her experience with him.

Good theology is important, but God changes our life through experience with Him, not through our theology.
