Ever wish you could be closer to God, but it feels like something's holding you back?

God says I will not hear your prayers. You can't draw nigh to me with dirty hands, double minds.

You can't do that. Be clean before you come before me. You're coming to the Lord.

You're coming for an intimate relationship with

Almighty God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Be freshly cleansed. Welcome to Love Worth

Finding, featuring the timeless biblical teaching of Pastor Adrian Rogers. We're in the middle of our

redeeming love series, studying the book of Ruth, and learning how to enjoy a closer, more

personal relationship with our kinsman Redeemer. In this Old Testament story, Ruth wanted to follow

God with a whole heart, But her circumstances were dire.

Her husband had died.

She was from a pagan land where people worshipped other gods.

Even still, God used her mightily, and her life became an illustration of the great love story God was writing for his bride, the church.

If you have your Bible, turn to Ruth chapter three,

as Adrian Rogers shares five ways to draw closer to Jesus. Would you take God's word and find the

book of Ruth, Joshua judges Ruth, and turned to the third chapter.

A man said these words some time ago.

He must have been a saint because it was in his prayer that he prayed these words.

Lord, I want to see you more clearly.

I want to follow you more nearly.

I want to love you more dearly. I think that's the prayer of most of our

hearts. We may not have been able to put it in words like that, but we want to see him clearly.

We want to get closer to him and to follow him more nearly and to love him more dearly.
