This semester I read Tozer’s “Pursuit of God”. This book explores different aspects of pursuing God. I found it helpful in my understanding of how to have a personal relationship with God. The bottom line is that we must cultivate our relationship with God. As a result‚ we can take the foundation of our relationship with Christ and develop our relationships with others.

the Celtic Gods are not well known. However‚ what is known is that diverse gods had diverse functions.

Rationality requires either that you wager for an orthodoxly conceived monotheistic god or that you do not wager for an orthodoxly conceived monotheistic god. Rationality requires that you hold: 1. The unity of wagering for an orthodoxly conceived monotheistic god‚ if an unorthodoxly conceived perverse monotheistic god exists‚ is less than positive infinity. 2.

Design Argument--Does God exist? I found William Paley’s design argument in The Watch and the Watch-Maker the most compelling and thought provoking because I thought he had an interesting point symbolizing the watch as the universe and the watch-maker as the universe-maker or God.
