My approach was to ask the questions &#8220;where and what is God&#8217;s place?&#8221;  I believe the Biblical answer to this is that while God is above and beyond all his creation, the place in which he connects with us is within his creation.  In fact scripture is quite clear that God is in the process of redeeming and restoring &#8216;all things&#8217;.  Our future is not to be removed from planet earth, but to dwell with God on a restored and renewed earth.  It is the agenda of evil to separate people from the experience of God&#8217;s love, the knowledge of God and his ways and the beauty of his creation.  We are to be people who love God and seek to express and restore these elements to their rightful place.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<a title=\"View What Does Not Have a Place in God's Space on Scribd\" style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;\">What Does Not Have a Place in God&#8217;s Space<\/a> <object id=\"doc_678290463697684\" name=\"doc_678290463697684\" height=\"600\" width=\"100%\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http:\/\/d1.scribdassets.com\/ScribdViewer.swf\" style=\"outline:none;\" ><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/d1.scribdassets.com\/ScribdViewer.swf\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"opaque\"><\/param><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#ffffff\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"document_id=29510142&#038;access_key=key-2mympd02sn83u357ti6s&#038;page=1&#038;viewMode=list\"><embed id=\"doc_678290463697684\" name=\"doc_678290463697684\" src=\"http:\/\/d1.scribdassets.com\/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=29510142&#038;access_key=key-2mympd02sn83u357ti6s&#038;page=1&#038;viewMode=list\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"600\" width=\"100%\" wmode=\"opaque\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><\/embed><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I enjoyed a Sunday with the Punch Bowl Christian Centre on 29 March speaking on their theme for this year &#8220;MySpace in God&#8217;s Place&#8221; The specific topic I was asked to address was \u201cWhat does not have a space in God\u2019s place\u201d.
