"You either see God as a real Person who desires to share Love or as some cold, distant King, whose only concern is about 'glory'."

I think that ftD could use a little bit of John Piper: "He is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him" (Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist).

Yet another cryptic statement. Wow, what a deeeeep statement!

Now, how do we stay in Him, is our (oh no! gasp!)will involved? How about is God happy when we are in Him or does God's happiness ever come across your minds?
