    We don’t reverence God as we ought, when He is safely tucked inside the boxes of our understanding, our theology, our control, or in the box of our familiarity. What happens when He gets out of our box?

    Encountering God – Part 8 – Awe in Worship Review Last week we talked about why God’s glory or presence doesn’t show up in worship or in a gathering of His people. Some folks would notice if He wasn’t there, others would see no difference. I talked a bit about three reasons why God’s glory ...read more

    Although we live in troublesome times, and life seems fragile and irksome, we are not alone in the universe. Greater is He who protects us than the forces of evil around us. Evil may appear to prevail, but God will have the final word.

    God is holy, not a commodity. Even though Joy is appropriate and even instructed, God must be approached with reverence before joy

    Last week we saw that the number one characteristic of God is that he is holy. We need to understand this about God so we can make sure we are worshipping him and not some caricature of him we have made up in our mind. Do you know what a caricature is? We usually think of it as a picture, such as ...read more
