Obedience is daily walking in holiness and surrender to Jesus Christ as Lord. God delights and draws close to those who live righteous lives. Every culture has characteristics that reinforce and commend the eternal commands of God and yet also has values that are contrary to the will of God, which need to be brought into alignment with Him.

American culture in the 21 st century has much going for it, including a strong value on racial tolerance, faithful stewardship of the environment, and caring for the poor. Faithfully walking with God even when this brings one in conflict with the surrounding culture exemplifies a righteous and holy life, and God loves the righteous and draws close to them. In the category of sexual integrity, American culture has strayed far away from the Biblical norms it once embraced. Fornication, pornography, homosexuality, adultery, and divorce are all common in Christian as well as non-Christian culture in the United States, greatly grieving the heart of God.

Much of this sexual immorality results in abortion, which has claimed tens of millions of lives in the last 50 years amounting to a holocaust much worse than the holocaust of World War II and even worse than the era of slavery in the United States. God forgives when there is genuine repentance, and America and American Christians have much to repent over in this area. Another American cultural norm that grieves the heart of God is materialism and greed. How has our thinking been so altered that we are so wealthy yet so stingy at the same time?

Every Christian must break free from this demonic stronghold and learn to live generously. Seeking God is a way of life and not something solely to be done in times of desperate need. American society thinks nothing of pursuing education ten hours a day in classroom and homework time for many years, and American society thinks nothing of pursuing athletic excellence through many hours of practice every day year after year.

The same diligence we show toward these other worthy causes should be shown in our single-minded pursuit of pleasing and following the one true God. As the Scriptures say in 1 Timothy 4: It is extraordinary to notice the hard work and diligence that some apply to various aspects of their lives, be it education, athletics or a hobby.

Me, Myself & God

In season and out of season, many Christians faithfully and diligently work hard to be better educated or skilled in athletics or a musical instrument. Those who are out of shape physically usually know why they are out of shape: Those who do not perform well on their tests know that often the reason is that they have not studied.

Yet, many Christians have little victory and power in their lives and they honestly have no idea why. They have not been praying and reading the Scriptures diligently, fasting, humbling themselves, repenting of their sins, and practicing consistent obedience to God. God is displeased with them and perhaps even opposing them, and yet they are completely ignorant of it.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

It is this perspective that must be the mindset of every person who seeks after God diligently. We must hunt after God, never being satisfied with anything less than His divine blessing and presence in our lives. Jonathan Edwards, perhaps the most respected theologian on the subject of revival, wrote that the best Biblical passage on the topic is Zechariah 8: I myself am going.

Notice the zeal of those seeking after the Lord. It was not enough that they themselves were seeking after God, but they were compelled to encourage others to seek God as well. Not only is the gathering of others important in seeking God, but gathering with others is critical.

It is important that Christians gather with others on a weekly if not daily basis to encourage each other in the faith to remain strong in the Lord and to minister to each other, building up the body of Christ. Christians should be regular participants in churches, small groups, and other large and small group gatherings to stimulate one another to love and good deeds.

Moreover, it is important that Christians follow the Biblical example of gathering for several multi-day Christian conferences per year in order to deepen their love and devotion to God. The ancient Israelites were told to keep three feasts per year: During these times, there was celebration, public reading of the Bible, teaching, praise and worship, and confession of sin see Exodus All families as part of the nation of Israel were required to keep these three annual feasts so that they would be strengthened in their love for God, ready and able to serve Him and walk with Him all year long.

Seven Principles of a Seeking-God Lifestyle

Unfortunately, the Israelites did not always keep these feasts and their hearts strayed away from the Lord. However, periodically during the years, they would repent, return to God, and hold these feasts with spectacular results. As examples, read Nehemiah 8 and 2 Chronicles 30 to notice the extraordinary joy and zeal for God that would develop during these feasts. The same pattern should be true of those who seek after God in our current age.

A person remains strong and devoted to God when he has regular multi-day experiences of teaching, encouragement, worship, confession and prayer. For the Christian seeking after God the question should not be whether he or she will attend a few multi-day Christian conferences in the upcoming year, but rather, when and which ones he or she will attend. There are two significant obstacles to adopting a seeking-God lifestyle that need to be briefly addressed.

There are few concepts more misunderstood in American Christian culture than legalism. To the average American Christian, legalism refers to having to do something in the Christian life that they do not want to do. This is very different from the Biblical principles from which the concept probably originates. The word itself only appears once in the Bible in Philippians 3: Email us at Enjoy our design and layout?
