This video is about, "How to get a Deeper Relationship with God?" A question sent in by frischer kaese. A relational God demands a relational answer to this question. So, the answer involves going deeper than the simple and safe answer of, "Read the Bible and pray." Yes, reading the Bible every day and praying continuously to God are both intrinsic parts of growing in a relationship with him. Yet, the Pharisees did this and came up lacking. The answer involves Luke 6 and 1John 4. It involves pursuing God himself, not mere facts about him and loving those that common sense tells us to hate.
