Book: Isaiah

Don’t make worship about conjuring presence or catching the mouse in its trap. Make presence about lifting God up so high above you that His presence becomes impossible. Then, when He is the focus of your praises & elevated far above you, in His proper place of worship, He will satisfy you & fill you with joy more abiding than any manufactured or machine trap of presence. Worship’s chief end is to glorify God. By glorifying Him in worship we will enjoy Him in it as we never have before.

God’s general presence provides us with a faint memory of what no longer exists. Sin has caused our worst wound in separating us from God’s actual presence.
This is the great pain that all mankind lives with: the absence of God.

 Jesus alone is the Way to because He alone is the Truth about God and He alone possesses the Life of God.

You have a Savior. He came at Christmas so that He would fulfill Easter, which is huge. It makes a difference to have Jesus as my Savior here and now because He gives me the power to live a life of faith over fear.

You exist to help people think the most important thought in the world—GOD!
