"As our ascended Lord, Jesus not only receives our worship but also perfects our prayers. In fact, Jesus 'always lives to intercede for us' (Heb. 7:25). Jesus (and not any other human worship leader) is the true lead worshiper. As we worship it is fitting to think of Jesus as active: praying for us, perfecting our prayers, giving us full access to God. This is pastorally significant because it welcomes us to offer worship even in weakness (Heb. 4:14-16)." - John Witvliet, from Reformed Worship |

It's heartbreaking to watch age or dementia claim a loved one's mind, body, and spirit. But it's a mistake to think that disease destroys a Christian's desire or ability to worship. One pastor asked groups of nursing home residents to share their favorite Bible stories, hymns, and worship elements. They told her: "If I didn't have my faith, I don't know how I would live." "We've come this far by faith, leaning on the Lord, trusting in the Lord." "Faith carries me, sustains me. When I'm down, it picks me up." Read more.
