Experiencing God

The last two days have been spent creating and providing space for nearly 1000 church leaders to encounter Christ. It is so evident to me how badly each of us need this space, and often! It is funny to me when people criticize a more traditional church environment, or a space some may label "emergent." All you have to do is walk into a space like this, stand back, and observe people being themselves before God. I love quiet, candle lit, intimate worship. There is just nothing like it! Sure, there is always a time for celebratory, loud, fun worship. I am all for it! However, when the psalmist writes "Be quiet, be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46. WOW, there is so much truth in that. In our fast paced, busy lives, how often do we honestly lay all of the distractions aside and just hang out in the presence of our Maker?

Question... When was the last time it was just you and God?
