I read this excellent article a week and a half ago. Peter Krol invites us to ask, "What actually is the glory of God?"
It may not earn you many points in the game Words with Friends, but “glory” is a big word.
Glory to the newborn king!
Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.
It can be a buzzword for Christians, while others liberally throw it around. No less than two musical artists, three albums, and nine pop songs are named “Glory” (hat tip to Kanye West and Jay-Z).
We have battlefield glory, the road to glory, the glory of love, blazes of glory, and glory days. Through history, the British Royal Navy has commissioned or captured ten different ships named HMS Glory.
Glory is not an obscure word, but do you know what it means? You’re probably familiar with the term, but could you explain it in plain language?
