""Bring God Glory" Let's skip right over how misused the word "glory" is in normal conversations and sermons. Just the idea that we can offer anything to God is pretty ridiculous, and has spawned the modern practice of attributing any success personal, professional, clergical, or otherwise, to God. It's like reverse manifest destiny. Instead, I would suggest the phrase "be the glory of God." When I submit myself to God's direction and obey his real-time leading, God expresses himself through me. I become his glory because he shines through me, as I humbly submit. PS Is it clergical or clerical?" - Joel Zehring

To follow Jesus, you must actively resist groupthink and actively resist isolation.
