Page 69 boundaries of God’s will that were not shared with other believers. Moses delivered the Law from Mount Sinai. That was the beginning of the 613 laws found in the Old Covenant. Interestingly, Christians have devised their own set of laws. What follows is a list of convictions held by various Christians that I have known throughout the years: God’s will is for all Christians . . . to never listen to secular music. to vote Republican. to vote Democrat. to begin a ministry for homeless people and prisoners. to begin a campaign to fight abortion, pornography, and gay marriage. to not own a television set. to not own two television sets. to never support the military and to be against all wars. to have home births. to homeschool their children. to not use birth control. to have as many children as possible. to watch only G or PG movies. to not attend movie cinemas or theaters.
What you do when you spend time with God is not nearly so important as that you spend time with God. Spiritual growth is not the result of a dramatic experience, but a lot of small steps. You cannot be changed by one experience into spiritual maturity any more than you can become a full-grown adult by eating one meal… Think of spending time with God as one meal in the whole plan of your spiritual nutrition. If you are doing something that isn't satisfying your spiritual hunger, then change your diet. But whatever you do – don't give up eating.
