“I believe that I had depersonalized God so much that when I really
needed him I didn’t know how to relate…. I looked for God, but all I found was a
suffocation of the Spirit in my evangelical tradition as well
as in my own heart.”!

“If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us
up from here. For how shall it be known that I
have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us,
so that we are distinct, I and your people, from
every other people on the face of the earth?”
~ The Prophet Moses In Exodus 33

“…you are…members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the

immoral person sins against his own body.
~ The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:13, 18-20
![Page 24: Sermon Slide Deck: "The Indwelling Presence Of The Spirit" (excerpts from Colossians)](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d731aabb61eb692b8b45d0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

“On the whole, I do not find Christians, outside of the
catacombs, sufficiently sensible of conditions. Does anyone have the
foggiest idea what sort of power we so blithely invoke? Or, as I suspect, does no one believe a word of it? The churches are children playing
on the floor with their chemistry sets, mixing up a batch of TNT to
kill a Sunday morning.

“It is madness to wear ladies’ straw hats and velvet hats to church; we
should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers should issue life preservers and signal flares; they
should lash us to our pews. For the sleeping God may wake someday
and take offense, or the waking God may draw us out to where we
can never return. ”
