WOWAW 9: ‘Worship Will Always Have An Impact’
This week’s Words of Wisdom About Worship:
Again and again worship is being celebrated as a self-contained event. Again and again worship becomes a refuge from the world and its challenges. Often, the community succumbs to the temptation to leave the world to itself. But the truth stands: God so loved the world — this world — that he gave for it his only begotten Son. The credibility of worship depends on the willingness of the community to share in God’s movement of love for the world. Worship will always have an impact; it can either lift up God’s love for the world or it can, on the contrary, hide that love behind spiritual walls.
—Lukas Vischer, Christian Worship in Reformed Churches Past and Present
