     | 9,281 views

    Magnification is useful because it enlarges the object of our attention. It's what we do in worship every week.

    “EXTRAVAGANT MAGNIFICATION” Is. 6:1-8 & Revelation 4:1-11 Even though it’s not used as frequently as it used to be, I still like a magnifying glass. It takes something that’s hard to see and makes it bigger. It brings the word or subject into clearer focus so I can see it ...read more
