Great words from the Puritan Jeremiah Burroughs from his classic "Gospel Worship." "The reason men worship God in a casual way is because they do not see God in His Glory. If a man has ever had Isaiah's vision of the Holiness of God, he would be changed in an instant. But until men have seen God as...

One of the great advantages of this practice is that I am able to meet people who are not a part of the Metro East fellowship. On blessed...

Every society has a “culture” or set of shared beliefs, values, and practices which provides a common approach to understanding and dealing with the larger questions of life. “Where do we come from? What do our lives mean? What is most important in life?” The way those questions are answered will...
