It has always been the desire of God for His house to be filled with His glory. A church that is devoid of God's glory or Ichabodic, (that is, where the glory has departed) is not the will of God.
However, the glory of God is not a cheap thing! It is, perhaps, the height of divine experience God could share with a mortal. No words would be sufficient in explaining or describing God's glory, and it is an experience every child of God should earnestly hunger and pray for ever before being called to glory. One moment of glory is far better than a lifetime of fame. Alleluia!
