We are created by God as worshipers of His glory. Due to the fall, we struggle to worship appropriately. This means that we are created worshipers, but due to spiritual death or theological misgivings we can inappropriately direct our worship to things other than God. In the introduction to the book Tripp says “Our hearts are always captured by something—that’s how God made us. But sin threatens to distract us from the glory of our Creator. All too often, we stand in awe of everything but God. Uncovering the lies we believe about all the earthly things that promise us peace, life, and contentment, Paul Tripp redirects our gaze to God’s awe-inducing glory—showing how such a vision has the potential to impact our every thought, word, and deed.”

 

This is such a common problem. Tripp identifies the problem and then gives the reader a clear challenge to focus their worship daily on our great God. The absence of awe is a sad state for the Christian, the family, and the church. I think this book is an important read for all of us. I hope it will bless you as it has me. (Rob Love)
