Don't Keep God Indoors

God is great - and we need to remember that. I have been reading Calvin Miller's "The Path of Celtic Prayer" (BRF, 2008). Miller reminds us of the mistake we often try to make of domesticating God. God is beyond that. P. 86 - "... we who serve an entirely indoor God have lost a great part of our faith. We must break through the cold, hard walls of our institutionalized worship and reach for the soft, warm reality of God that is found out of doors. It is impossible to imprison God within the walls of a church and yet claim that Christianity brings light, growth and life." When we try and pin God down, he marvellously breaks out beyond our attempts.
