There is something in our fallen nature that, like Peter, wishes to build a monument around a spiritual encounter with God and remain there. But the Lord will not have it.

Is God coming to you through that new song you're not sure you like? That acquaintance from Bible study you think you have nothing in common with? He sure might be. And I hope I don't miss it if He does.
