“Our evangelical culture tends to take the awesome reality of a transcendent god who is worthy to be feared and downsize Him so He could fit into our "buddy system." The way we talk about Him, the way we pray, and, more strikingly, the way we live shows that we have somehow lost our sense of being appropriately awestruck in the presence of a holy and all-powerful God. It's been a long time since we've heard a good sermon on the "fear of God." If God were to show up visibly, many of us think we'd run up to Him and high-five Him for the good things He has done.” IfsThinkingWayLongDoneShowsRealityRunningChristianCultureLostPowerfulFiveHeardPrayingFitHolyLong TimeGood ThingsWorthyChristian InspirationalSermonsBuddyTranscendentEvangelicalPowerful GodAwestruck Author:Joseph Stowell
“The Greeks had a race in their Olympic games that was unique. The winner was not the runner who finished first. It was the runner who finished with his torch still lit. I want to run all the way with the flame of my torch still lit for Him.” WayWantFirstsStillsRunningChristianGamesRaceUniqueFinishedChristian InspirationalWinnerGreekFlamesRunnersLitTorchesOlympic Games Author:Joseph Stowell
