God’s need reflects His heart’s desire that we actively participate in His compassion and love.
By design, the sanctuary is an experiential journey of ascent into the presence of God (Psalms 77:13; 122:1–2). Its increasing levels of holiness carry a profound spiritual lesson about making our way to God.

There is only one interest I want for my life: to experience the love of God—not only to know His love but to experience His loveliness, fall madly in love with Him, and drink deeply of His love, knowing every beautiful facet of it.
The new is contained in the old, and the glory of God once hidden inside the most holy place will someday fill the entire universe through glory of the lamb that was slain

Veering from God’s singular path to bless the world is fraught with danger, not only for the cynical secularist but also for those of us resistant to change who believe in keeping God in a neat, static package.
