WOWAW 10: Triune Worship: relational rather than institutional
This week’s Words Of Wisdom About Worship:
Worship is not just rendered to the Triune God but in the Triune God. This point means that Trinitarian worship must take into account the horizontal relationships amongst believers, as much as the vertical relationships between the congregation and God. ... Worship shapes individual and community character. In specific terms, it must be relational rather than institutional. ...
Through the events that take place in the public worship of God—such as the singing of God’s praise; the reading and expounding of his Word; the prayers of intercession and adoration; the administration of the Lord’s Supper; and all other legitimate activities of public worship—the glorifying of God’s name is at stake. His name is glorifed most fully when the relationships within the congregation are congruent with those of the Triune God we worship.
