  “Did you know that when the people of God gather for corporate worship they are drawn by a mysterious work of the Holy Spirit into the heavenly places? That’s what’s happening when we worship, and that’s where worship is happening…

  …We don’t see it. We can’t touch it. It is spiritual. But it’s real. By faith, that’s where we are when we worship.”

  (Jonathan Landry Cruse)
