Worship Matters Chapter 9

       In this chapter, Bob talks about how God shines his light upon others through his own presence in people's lives. He encourages us to approach God through spiritual connection and believe in the Lord's love. Bob argues that it is not about where and how many people there are, it's about our own minds and senses, whether or not we are being faithful. Because it doesn't make a difference for ourselves to pray and worship in different places. Only through being hungry and focused for God can help us connect with him spiritually.

       In my past experience, I saw small churches struggling for expansion. Indeed, through expanding our community, more people can hear God's voice, but when we focus too much on the size, we would neglect our feelings for God. I think Bob's suggestion really helps with this kind of issue, because many congregations are facing this problem right now, and to be ambitious while being faithful, we should put our hearts and minds into seeking God's voice and guidance, so we won't lose our connection in the process.
