In a biography I read many years ago a
man tells of a time when he sat one morning as a little boy in church and felt
the presence of Almighty God. The feeling was so magnificent and vivid that
he could hardly wait for the service to end so he could share it with others
who worshipped with him.
When the service was over, he rushed over
to a group of adults and admittedly made a fumbling attempt to explain.
They politely
ignored him.
One even made a quip about how church had
been hard on him that morning.
And they went back to talking about
business, what they had planned for the afternoon, and all the usual trivia
that can be part and parcel of conversations.
At this moment,
the little boy began to become disillusioned with religion.
It was not until many years later when he was a young man that he
again returned to church. His first Sunday
back he again sensed the overwhelming Holy presence of his Creator.
Again when the
service was over, he sought out some adults to share the experience with.
Again he was
politely but specifically ignored.
Again, it seemed a
subject somewhat embarrassing to them.
And he says he felt like shouting at them…”Look who’s here! Your God.
You just finished worshipping Him. You just finished singing to His
glory and praying to His power. How can
you be so embarrassed, so reluctant, so inarticulate about the very sense and
source of your being? Is it that worship
is for you a nothing, and therefore you have nothing to say?”
When was the last time you had a religious experience?
Felt the presence of
God’s hand in yours? Felt God’s warm
power and peace inside? Felt God so real
and near, you would like to have captured the moment and never let it go?
Perhaps it was when you stood by a coffin
and cried out, “God, help me and He did.”
Perhaps it was when you first fell in love and felt like shouting for
all the world to hear, “God, thank you.”
Perhaps, it was when you were sick and afraid and you prayed, “God,
don’t let me die., and God heard your prayer. And
today your hearing these words is proof He heard you.
From the cradle to the grave is a long journey. It is also an education. It is also a challenge. It’s beginning is a miracle, it’s end a
mystery. The man of faith says it is of God.
A young man went to his minister and told him of his life's
ambitions. He said, “I plan to go to the University and become an
architect.”
“What then?” asked his
minister.
“Well, I expect to become famous by designing magnificent public
buildings.”
“What then?” asked his minister.
“I expect to marry and have family.”
“What then” continued the reply.
“I expect to become wealthy and retire.”
What then?’ “Oh, I see
what you mean. I will then make my peace with God.” “Why not do that in the first place?”
If this whole God thing, religion, spirit, soul, eternity,
immortality all makes good sense…why not now go for the gusto? And talk to others about this spiritual
gusto?
Do you know what the word worship
means? It means the assignment of worth
to someone or something.
Everyone worships, because everyone puts certain values on
people, places or things. It may be God
in heaven or the Miami Hurricanes on the football field…but tell me what you
value and how much and that is worship.

(Maynard Pittendreigh, Presbyterian Minister)
"THE SPIRITUAL
ABRAHAM LINCOLN is an extremely well written book...it is both scholarly and
