"If you cannot worship God in the midst of your responsibilities on Monday, it's not very likely you were worshiping on Sunday either."
Things to Remember from 'Knowledge of the Holy'
I could probably type the whole book into this blog. But I'll start with this:
'Self Sufficiency'
God has no need. He did not create to fill a need. (Wow... God doesn't need me... He never has and he never will...)
"He needs no one, but when faith in him is present he works through anyone."
"I fear that thousands of young persons enter Christian service from no higher motive than to help deliver God from the embarrassing situation that his love has gotten him into and His limited abilities seem unable to get out of. Add a degree of idealism and compassion and you have the drive for most Christian activity today."
(Am I serving God, or am I serving 'for' God. God does not need me to serve 'in his place.' I serve God because the love of Christ compels me. I do not serve 'for God', for he needs no help.)
'Transcendence'
"We must not think of God as highest in an ascending order of beings, starting with single cell and going up from fish to bird to animal to man to angel to God. This would grant God eminence, even pre-eminence. But not transcendence." God is infinitely above everything, regardless of how far apart finite things are from each other.
