"For the Kingdom of God is not in talk but in power".
A 'second-generation' Christian is someone who grows up in a Christian home with Christian parents. To many of these Christians, Christianity is only a religion of their parents. They know all the Bible stories but they have not experienced God for themselves. There is a lot of head knowledge about God but they do not know God personally.
The need to experience God personally is pertinent to this present post-modern generation. To accept something as true, we need to experience it for ourselves. Truth to us must be verified by experience - our subjective experiences. What we are not able to verify by experience, we tend to doubt as true. Therefore, the need to experience God is vital if we are to sustain our faith in the long run. For if we do not, we run the risk of eventually falling away from the faith.
Challenge: Write down at least 3 ways people you know have experienced God in their lives. Then, write down at least 2 ways you have experienced God in your own life.

We need to experience Him personally. Head knowledge will not bring us far.
