Ironically, it was the father's blessing that actually "financed" the prodigal son's trip away from the Father's face! and it was the son's new revelation of his poverty of heart that propelled him back into his Father's arms. Sometimes we use the very blessings that God gives us to finance our journey away from the centrality of Christ. It's very important that we return back to ground zero, to the ultimate eternal goal of abiding with the Father's in intimate communion. (pg. 243)
Tommy TenneyGod literally moves his throne from heaven. When this happens the church is building a chair, a seat, a place for God to come.
Tommy TenneyGod doesn't hide Himself from you so that He can't be found; He hides Himself from you so that He can be found.
