"This trinitarian ontology [i.e., the fundamental background theory of what's real], in which the unseen things of the Spirit are as real, and in fact more powerfully and enduringly real, than temporal, material objects like sticks and stones, implies a spirit-empowered epistemology of the Word, Spirit and faith that opens the eyes of the believer to the unseen realities of heaven.
"Thus, worship in 'Spirit and in truth' implies and requires a new vision of the real, and new cognitive habits and practices that give access to heavenly realities in worship."
-- John Jefferson Davis, "Worship and the Reality of God: An Evangelical Theology of Real Presence" (IVP Academic)
