One other picture that will always be a part of my memory of that week is the way people all across the land crowded into their places of worship. …My fear is that we are beginning to think and act like we are on our own again and we can do it alone. …We need God in our lives this week just as much as the week of September 11th.

The intensity may have changed but the need is the same. We need God more than ever as we move into the mysterious days ahead. …When everything else becomes more important than worship, it is just a question of time until other things become more important than God.

Forget whether every detail of our worship fits our ultimate expectation of everything we ever wanted in worship. The issue is whether the details of our lives fit God’s expectation of us.
