In Christendom today, far too many people attend church week after week, yet they go home the same.
Knowing the Invisible God
Moses desired to know God. Though he spoke with Him face-to-face, Moses wasn’t content with what he knew of God. Something in him longed for more. He understood that there were dimensions of God he had yet to experience.
