We learned that what happens when we are alone with the Lord determines how intimate and deep the worship will be when we come together.

Worship, the act of freely giving love to God, forms and informs every activity of the Christian's life.

Visitation of God's presence is a byproduct of worship. However, we don't worship in order to gain His presence. He is worthy to be worshipped whether or not He chooses to show up.

Remember the economy of the Kingdom is simple. Every time we come to cross a new threshold, it costs us everything we now have. Every new step may cost us all the reputation & security we've accumulated up to that point. It costs us our life.

Find where God is and get behind what He's doing. He always wins.

We're in a declared war, but unless were clear about who the enemy is, we'll waste our time fighting enemies that aren't enemies at all. There's only one enemy and no matter what people do, say or react people are never the enemy. The enemy is our only enemy.

Instead of focusing on the great men of God, I prefer to focus on the Great God of men.
