The story of the dedication of Solomon’s temple teaches us that without the presence of God, the building means nothing. His presence is manifest in right worship, and his glory propels his people out. The Holy Spirit is the Father’s gift through the Son to all of his children to be his personal presence and power for all of life.<\/p>\n
