John Mark Comer tells a story of an old man who would sit alone in a church for hours. When asked what he was doing, he replied, “I look at Him, He looks at me, and we are happy.” That quote is the next heading in Comer's book. In the section he quotes other contemplatives from church history, promoting what Bob DeWaay calls contrived spiritual innovations. He uses 1Peter 1:8 to show that we must reject contemplative practices, believe by faith though we have not seen Him, and trust the promises of God.
