AWAKENED HEARTS OF WORSHIP: Confession & Absolution. Amazon has the second largest revenue stream of any company in the world. And they are the only company in the top 10 that is less than 50 years old. How? We want the good stuff to come to meet us where we are. At the beginning of our worship that’s what God does. We enter his presence, he enters ours, and meets us in the mess we are in. We are so far from his Holiness, but God meets us at the door with all our unholiness, and forgives us.
