WOWAW 6

This week’s Words of Wisdom About Worship:

Life without worship is terribly incomplete. It [is] of the fuller life that the congregation [sings]. It witnesse[s], perhaps without knowing it, to a higher reality, a mystery of salvation, a perspective beyond the limits of this life, a glory that is divine. Inside the walls of the church the singing may [be] viewed as routine; outside those walls it [can strike] the depths of an unfulfilled searching soul. What we need as insiders is a vision of the staggering privilege, and the unlimited possibilities, of divine worship.

-John Vriend, “A History of Liturgy in the Christian Reformed Church,” 1979
