Experiencing God’s Presence

Whether in the Old Testament or the New, God’s house was a place where God’s presence was manifested, albeit in different ways. That brings up an interesting and thought inspiring notion: do we experience God in His house today? If so – praise God. But if not, why?

Echo Chambers November 16, 2023
