Proof The Bible Is True

Angie Smith, bestselling author and popular speaker, confesses in her new book, Chasing God, that she had been a Christian for more than 10 years when she experienced what she calls a “crisis of faith” — coming to the end of her own exhaustive efforts to understand God.

Instead of getting to know Him for herself, Smith spent those years trying to figure God out, and using what others had to say about Him as her guidepost.

“And maybe you, like me, have been spending your time going after the wrong objectives (without realizing it) and it’s left you weary of the whole process,” Smith writes in Chasing God. “What was meant to be a gift has become an obligation, a source of guilt or a way to fight fear.”

She adds, “We rely on our standards, our rules, our opinions, our agendas, and our measurements of holiness instead of His. And as the books pile, one on top of another, so do the questions. … It’s the difference between between following and chasing.”
