Derek talks about God's holiness and why it's important to recognize that we are not God. He emphasizes that God's attributes cannot be mimicked and we can never reach that level. He explains that the church is a hospital for those who are not good and need to be cleaned up. He discusses how sin can make us comfortable with wickedness, but God does not like any of it because he is a holy and perfect God. Derek explains that when there is pure wickedness, God will remove his presence, which can result in human consequences. He shares a personal story of losing his temper with his daughter and feeling sick for a long time because God had to remove his presence. Derek concludes that when we're doing the right thing and walking with God, his presence is there, which brings joy and light. But when we live in wickedness, everything becomes dark, and we need artificial stimulation to feel good.
