The priests were still dressed. The rituals were still performed.\u003cbr\u003eBut heaven had withdrawn.\u003cbr\u003eWhen the child was named \u003ci\u003eIchabod\u003c\/i\u003e, the tragedy was not merely the capture of the ark-it was the realization that \u003cb\u003ethe presence of God was gone, and the people did not notice until it was too late\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eThis same tragedy is repeating itself in our time.\u003cbr\u003eGod does not storm out of His house.\u003cbr\u003eHe is not dramatic.\u003cbr\u003eHe is not impulsive.\u003cbr\u003eHe withdraws slowly, grieved, resisted, ignored-until His silence becomes judgment.\u003cbr\u003eThe modern church fears decline, irrelevance, and loss of influence-but rarely fears the departure of God. We have learned to measure success without ever asking the one question that matters most: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs the glory still here?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIchabod is not written when buildings close.\u003cbr\u003eIchabod is written when \u003cb\u003eGod's presence is no longer required for church to function\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eAnd that day has already arrived in many places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leroy H.
