I attended CIY with our youth group this summer in TN. One observation stood out among the many obvious to me. As the week went on, the kids and adults entered a status of unashamed adoration of the son of God.
The chaperon that accompanied us for the girls was amazed at the level of attention the kids gave to worship on the first night. I told her that this will not even compare to the level of involvement by the end of the week.
God did some amazing things during that week, and I am convinced that our unashamed adoration had a real role in that. Our openness to the worship of Jesus opened a way to the very glory of God. God showed up because He was welcome there.
Is God welcome at your gatherings? Do you have a special dedicated place for Him to show up? Do you let Him do as He pleases? Is He assumed to be spectator or fellow participant?
Following your blog now brother. You have been on an absolute roll with your sermon series and I appreciate you SO much. Thank you.
