WOWAW 2
This week’s Words of Wisdom About Worship:
Christian worship is fundamentally our participation, through the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Christ’s communion with God the Father. Not only is God present with us in worship; we are present with God within God’s own Trinitarian life.
-Leanne Van Dyk, A More Profound Alleluia, pp. 56-7

Earlier: WOWAW 1
We don’t deserve to worship God. But God graciously invites us to worship and then provides us with the means to receive communion with and revelation from God—the very presence of Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is Trinitarian mystery, hospitality, and gift.
-Leanne Van Dyk, A More Profound Alleluia, pp. 63-4
