not forsaken

One of the greatest things we can live for is the glory of God. Have you ever heard anyone talk about this before?

My guest this week is Louie Giglio, Pastor of Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia, and the founder of Passion Conferences. His mantra for decades has been from Isaiah 26:8, "Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts." He is calling for a 268 generation. There is something about this heart that yearns for the glory of God. I believe it was we were all created for -- to know God and to make Him known. To live for His glory, and to enjoy Him forever. All other pursuits miss their ultimate purpose without this. I still remember hearing about one of the old Passion gatherings in a field twenty years ago when I was a student in my college dorm. It impacted me profoundly back then, and Louie shares some of those personal stories about that meeting. So buckle up, because God showed up in our conversation today!

In one way or another, each of us has experienced some brokeness in our Earthly Dads. Some have been Absent or Abusive, others saw love as a reward to give out based on our performance. There were passive dads and antagonistic dads. Each of these left us with flawed views of fatherhood in general, and therefore flawed truths about what our Heavenly Father must be like.

In part two of our series, Not Forsaken, Pastor Louie Giglio walks us through three truths that God wants us to know about Himself as a father, and us as His children;

1. That we are loved.
2. That we are no longer slaves.
3. That we are sons and daughters of God.

Why are these things so important? God is interested in his sons and daughters living their lives to their fullest and finding freedom as children of a perfect father.
