0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life in the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.0	My name is Keith Simon and right now we're going through the book of
0:13.4	Exodus. There's a book I read decades ago that I still remember the opening sentence.
0:19.3	The book was called The Knowledge of the Holy and it was by a guy named A. W. Toser.
0:25.0	Here's the opening sentence.
0:26.7	What comes to our mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
0:31.9	Let me say that again. What comes to our mind when we think about
0:34.9	God is the most important thing about us. Now one implication from that sentence is that
0:40.4	not everyone thinks about God the same way.
0:43.0	Maybe that's obvious when you think about people who follow different religions,

1:14.0	Now that begs the question, how close is your view of God to reality?
1:19.0	Does the God you believe in exist or is he just a figment of your imagination loosely based on the Bible
1:26.4	but also based a lot on your own intuition and experience? If our view of God is of massive importance like Tozer says it is, and if some of us have a view of God that is built
1:38.1	more on experience of the Bible, like Lewis says we do, you can see that we have a massive problem. We need to let the Bible define
1:46.9	God. We need to let God tell us what he's like, not for us to shape God in our own image.
1:54.0	Well, we're in the book of Exodus, and specifically today,
