I just read an interesting article about having a "personal relationship with Jesus," and whether that kind of language is biblical. Here's an excerpt:
We need to do some fundamental reflection on the whole notion of having or pursuing a "personal relationship" with Jesus Christ. While, on the one hand, I respect the longing for intimacy with God that these words reflect, they also concern me because they betray a creeping sort of secularization of our language about God.(John Suk teaches homiletics and theology at Asian Theological Seminary in Manila, The Philippines.)
The entire article is at http://www.perspectivesjournal.org/2005/11/essay-relationship.php.
