Do you know what you do not know?
The Message that points to Christ on the Cross seems like sheer silliness to those hellbent on destruction, but for those on the way of salvation it makes perfect sense. This is the way God works, and most powerfully as it turns out. It’s written, I’ll turn conventional wisdom on its head, I’ll expose so-called experts as crackpots. So where can you find someone truly wise, truly educated, truly intelligent in this day and age? Hasn’t God exposed it all as pretentious nonsense? Since the world in all its fancy wisdom never had a clue when it came to knowing God, God in his wisdom took delight in using what the world considered dumb—preaching, of all things!—to bring those who trust him into the way of salvation. 1 Corinthians 1:18 The Message (MSG)
Is receiving as a little child all it takes to entering and being in the Kingdom of the King’s presence?
Then he was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the intellectuals and wordly wise and for revealing them to those who are as trusting as little children. Yes, thank you, Father, for that is the way you wanted it.....” Luke 10:21 (NIV) Do you know that the King knows you?

About the Book
Paul’s fondest memories are associated with his own experiences of water. Hot African weather, cool reviving rivers, plunging exhausted into a mountain pool or windmill-pumped reservoir, body surfing a brilliant backline wave or capsizing a canoe at the end of gruelling river race. As a young father, comprehending that God loved him as a child and wanting to establish a living will for his children that helped simplify the reality of being in the world, but not of it, Paul uses illustration and simple language to describe the gospel of King Jesus to his two children. Based on the theme of water that is so prevalent in the Bible, Paul illustrates what being a worshipper of King Jesus means, the importance of guarding one’s heart, right relating with God, and the truth of a King Jesus-built church. Paul’s hope is that such a document will greatly assist him in helping his children comprehend what it means to be a worshipper of King Jesus. Paul’s desire for his children is that they will seek King Jesus above all things to be able to “see” beyond the superficial and grow to know God their Father as their source—of Living Water.
