Preface

Early this week, I listened in on one of Pastor Jim Cymbala’s sermons.

Pastor Jim used the phrase “God inhabits the praise of his people” that I wanted to cross reference and so I googled it.

Zac Hicks

And, as often happens these days, someone else Googled on same and chose to consolidate existing thoughts or dig deeper for new meanings.

Zac is one of those people and here he writes and later speaks about it.
