I know God is everywhere but…

Omnipresence…sure God is everywhere, but haven’t you found places where He seems to be more present? I am not really sure that I have theology for this, but I certainly have experience. I would hate for my inadequate theology to rob me of communion with my Father.
Synagogue at Capernaum
There is a place in the archeological site where the city of Capernaum stood. It is a synagogue. Even though it is a synagogue from a few hundred years after Jesus time, it stands squarely on top of THE synagogue from Jesus’ day.
THE synagogue…the place where Jesus looked at a woman who had been crippled for years, and set her free…and then He backed down His critics…the people whose theology prevented them from having an Encounter. I like His style…
I know God is everywhere but I feel Him in overwhelming gentleness and strength every time I visit this place. I like His style.

Hit enter too early…. There was something about his heart for the darkest places that touched me more than any place I’ve ever been. I remember not wanting to leave that place, I felt his heart manifest inside me there.
