Today's talk comes from Pastor Louis Giglio.

A.W. Tozer said something profound that has been an anchor, if you will, of our gatherings here,

but I want to bring it to us again tonight as a way of opening the door into this message.

A.W. Tozer said, what comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

So to put it on a personal level, what just came into your mind or what comes into your mind,

you think about God is the most important thing about you.

The reason for this is because we are moving towards our image of God.

We were created by God and for God, and we can't live without that pull in our heart.

So when you think about what comes into someone's mind when they think about God,

it would be a thousand different things.

For a lot of people, when you say, God, they think in personal cosmic force, light, this energy, this divine something.

Maybe it doesn't have a name, it doesn't have a face, but this divine being or this energy source of light that's somewhere out there in the world.

For other people, it's more of a caricature. It's like, grandpa, if you will.

He's a sweet old guy. He's been around for a long time. He's not moving quite as good as he used to.

He's got the text font on his phone so large that most people could read it from across the room,

can't operate Spotify, but he's probably got a piece of candy somewhere.

And he's just that sweet old guy. We love him.

But he's not that relevant, and you're not going to look to him to really be speaking into the major issues of your life.

For somebody else, he's like the divine scorekeeper. He's tracking every make and every miss.
