More than a feeling

Easter Sunday at King of Peace

The most common mistake Christians make in worship today is seeking an experience, rather than seeking God. They look for a feeling, and if it happens, they conclude that they have worshipped. Wrong. In fact, God often removes our feelings so we won't depend on them.

Seeking a feeling, even the feeling of closeness to Christ, is not worship.

Rick Warren (1954- )

    Wow! This one really hit home for me, Frank! So often I'm looking for that "experience" instead of letting God in. Great food for thought.
