BEHOLD YOUR GOD

From the beholdyourgod.org website;

Are we sure that the God we serve is the God described in Scripture? Is rethinking Him biblically really necessary? How do we do it? How would it affect our views of Christ, the gospel, holiness, worship, evangelism, service, and revival?

Many in our day are tired and disillusioned because they have consistently hoped in the next new idea. It is just this kind of day that makes Christians stop running on their religious hamster-wheels and ask "Why are we doing these programs?” and "Why doesn’t God ever really seem to show up and effectively work in our churches?” Hard questions often lead to right answers. This study is written with the conviction that our fundamental need in Western Christianity is to repent of our low and unworthy views of God, to return to the biblical descriptions of the true God, and to risk it all in order to live upon Who He is. Nothing in this study is new truth. The devotions and exercises in the workbook, and the intros, sermons, and interviews in the videos are meant only to help the reader to take the biblical descriptions of God seriously and to see how they form the foundation of Christian living.

Just started our 4th time with this study here in South Africa. Please download the intro and "week 1” from their website. You will truly be blessed. This is the best study I have ever been part of. You’ll want to share it with everyone around you. ”” Tim Emery

As adult Sunday School teacher I can testify the Behold Your God study (which we’re halfway through now) has been one of the most life changing we’ve ever done ”“ I heartily recommend it. ”” Jeff Smith

This study has truly been a blessing! We are on week 9 now. I’m sorry to have it end; but most assuredly, we will be returning back to our workbooks again and again. ”” Shannon Choate

We did this series in SS. Hands down, best video series I’ve ever done. The bigger we make ourselves, the smaller we make God. The bigger our God, the smaller we realize we are. ”” Susan Garland

_________________________________________________________

I myself couldn't agree more with what those above have said about this study.

Go to the website and see for yourself!

Knowing God vs knowing about God! Knowing the true God vs the idol god many church-goers have imagined.

Over the months the above has been the subject of some threads here on SI. If I could sum up the study, it'd be summed up in those two sentences.

Please, please, if you are able, get these videos and go through each one, along with the workbook. I am certain that you will agree, that this study is no mere study. God will meet with you and you will be changed.

Again, for any who may have missed this thread regarding this series, I am encouraging all to look into going through the whole series. I can't express just how much God may use it to draw you even closer to Him, and to get to know Him as the One and Only True God.

May God be pleased to bless you with His presence. Amen.

hawkeye68,

With a name like hawkeye I am not surprised that you found exactly what you've been looking for.

I am certain that you will not be disappointed.

I am so very pleased that there are those like yourself who are profiting by this.

His promise is that if we seek Him with all our hearts we'll surely find Him.

Be blessed and be a blessing!

In hopes that others may be blessed by this, I'm bringing this post back up to the forum.

Behold Your God

Again, I am bumping up this thread for those who may have missed it.

Please consider this for yourself and others. Mere reviews, nor comments from others, can give you a view of even the tip of this iceberg.

Oh...blessed be His Holy Name!

Thank you so much for sharing this information savanah...
Just now I've listened to the overview and explanation on the website you mentioned. I only need some more time to go there...
My first impression is...very positive...

Be Blessed,
browny.

I do hope and pray that God may move upon you by His Spirit, to impress upon you Who He is. May this be one of those means by which He visits with you and reveals Himself afresh to you.

I do believe that God will manifest Himself, as The Spirit of Truth works in our hearts, and ministers to our spirit, as we meditate upon The One, The Only, True and Living God, as He is presented to us in this study.

May this study be a means to revival...if not nationally, then personally.

Be blessed -

Savannah

Bump!

For any who may have missed this!

I haven't done the study, but I have watched all the videos. Excellent series. Highly recommended.

Glad to hear that you have watched all the videos!

Anyone who has, understands why I'm making such a big deal of this series. You'll want every christian you know to see this after you've done so yourself.

Please...please...if you are able. Get this DVD series!

Watch it with your family,friends,church,or whosoever will!

May this God of gods manifest Himself, and visit you with His Glorious Presence!

Bumping this up for the weekend!

Hoping that some new forum readers who haven't heard of this would look into it.

Please read all of this thread and visit the website of "Behold Your God".

Again, hawkeye is a good username for you, it fits you well!

I am so glad to hear that you and your wife heartily concur. I am rejoicing in the Lord, that He is sanctifying His people. You'd not concur and give such testimony about the Behold Your God series if that were not so. It truly warms my heart and encourages my soul to know His Holy Spirit is working mightily. As there's much that can discourage us in this day. So many who are going the way of Cain and of Esau.

Oh how my heart rejoices, knowing He has not given all over to the deplorable and defiling practices of many church-going persons. May He continue to call out from among them, a people made new by His Spirit and His grace.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Here's a Paul Washer clip from the video referenced by hawkeye68 - #11 on pragmatism in the Behold Your God series;

Bumping this thread again for any who may not have seen it.

My wife and I also went through this series about 18 months ago with some family members. Excellent study and we recommend it highly. It takes some commitment of time as it is a 12 week course requiring about an hour a day, 5 days a week, but well worth it.

Currently we have have lent it to a family in our church who are close to finishing it, so when we get it back we will probably go through again as a refresher.

Most of all, it lifts your understanding of who God is much higher, I mean that God becomes much higher and greater in our understanding. Too often we have far too low a view of God and too high a view of ourselves.

Although the theological position of the producers/teachers is reformed (I'm not), I found hardly anything I disagreed with, I probably agreed with 99% of the content.
