With a woman at look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stonestry with a point.

Recently, a reporter with a free press attended something called Secular Sabbath, a Los Angeles

based club that meets occasionally to connect with a loosely defined, higher power.

At this particular secular Sabbath, people hung out in a sauna and meditated in colored

pictures.

Human beings were made to worship, whether they know it or not.

At a time when church attendance is plummeting, people still look for God, even if on all

the wrong places.

One of the secular Sabbath keepers interviewed stated plainly that she doesn't want any

one to tell her the quality of God, but rather wants that to be her own experience.

Worship however just doesn't work that way.

After all, if there is a God outside of ourselves that's worthy of our wonder, he gets to

set the terms.

We don't get to tell him who we want him to be and then feel like we've had some kind

of sacred experience.

But the God of our age is inside, not outside, which is tragic and sad since the real

God is so much more than anything we've ever jumped up.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stonestry.
