If you're waiting with God, waiting is okay. If you're always waiting on God, you'll be frustrated. God never seems to work at the speed that we want Him to.

Life isn't perfect and that's the kind of world where Jesus showed up. He wasn't born in a palace on a perfect day. He was born in the middle of the night during tax season to an unwed couple in a stable or a cave in a sheep field. That was God's way of showing us that nothing is perfect. Life is chaotic. It's messy. That's what Jesus was stepping into.

There is a direct correlation between your appreciation of what Christ has done for you and the expression of worship

God is coming to intersect us in our funeral processions.

If Jesus is here we are going to walk out of this place to live our lives to the glory of God the Father.

Christ didn't die just so you could make to heaven; He lives so you can make it through earth!

Some of us attend the church on the corner, professing to worship the living God above all. Others, who rarely darken the church doors, would say worship isn't a part of their lives because they aren't "religious." But everybody has an altar. And every altar has a throne.
