Have you ever attempted to start your car or lawn mower only to discover the gas tank was completely empty? Frustrating! Not much happens without fuel for the engine: No combustion. No power. Not a chance of forward motion.
In a similar manner, attempting to start your relationship with God without the Bible – the Living Word of God – is pretty much a guarantee of not moving forward with Him. We know that His written Word is living and active. It’s not a magic formula but reading, studying and following His Word are essential for starting and growing as a Christian.
One of the best but somewhat lesser-known digital resources Cru has developed is Starting With God. It is a simple way to take first steps to understand the most important things God says and get to know Him better.
At Starting with God you can…
- Learn what it means to know God personally
- Get the “Spiritual Starter Kit” to help move forward in a daily walk with God
- Ask questions about the Bible
- Read articles about common struggles in following Jesus
- Sign up to receive short Bible study lessons by email
Starting with God is also available in languages other than English. You could send the link or text it to a neighbor who might not speak English as his/her first language.
What other ways have you discovered to help new believers or “old” believers move forward in walking with God?
