    In the OT times the leaders would come to the prophet desiring God to show them the way for the nation through his prayers. They were willing to obey God even if it was unpleasant for them so that they would have a good relationship with their Father.

    Why I should draw the line where God does in order to lead a fulfilling life and properly respresent the Christ following life to the unchurched.

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 30, 2020
     | 4,369 views

    The words adore and adoration have been trivialized over the past few decades. Do we worship and adore the God of Heaven and earth alone or are others drawing our worship-attention away to places it does not belong?

    Adoration of God Alone Today we will be reading from 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 Adoration. I don’t know if you realized this but every song we sang this morning contained the word “adore” or “adoration”. “Father, I adore You … Jesus, I adore You … Spirit, I adore You…” “Holy, holy, holy!
