    Solomon said that the Temple he built wasn't big enough for God to live in... but we're told God dwelt there anyway. Why would God take up residence in the Temple (and the Tabernacle), and where does He dwell now?

    Our hearts are filled with gratitude for what Christ has done on the cross for us. Hence, we response in offering our worship to Him. What is the worship which is pleasing and acceptable to the Lord? Let us learn and grow in the area of true worship to our Lord Jesus Christ.
