Another gem from Bob Kauflin today. He writes primarily for worship leaders, but we can all benefit from truths like this:

Proclaiming what is true about God is often underrated. We think we know enough facts about God and now just need to "experience" Him. Or maybe we think that we don't need to be reminded of what we already understand.
