Bob Kauflin has a great post inspired by MLJ – Pursuing God’s Active Presence:

“However, I’m sobered and challenged by Lloyd-Jones question: ‘Do we really believe that God can still act?’ He is asking if we have faith for God to move among us in clear, distinct, and powerful ways. He is asking us to consider if we are settling for an ‘appearance of godliness, but denying its power?’ (2 Tim. 3:5) At the end of the day, are we placing more trust in God’s activity or ours? I find that I can still approach congregational meetings in a way that expecting God’s active presence is almost an afterthought. Maybe you’ve had the same experience.”
