Due to the reality there was no Sunday School class on Easter Sunday, we'll be finding provocative quotes and letting you guys respond to them. Since you guys have been a bit slow in leaving comments lately, I thought I would liven things up a bit with a quote on the nature of worship. It comes from Dave Crowder (yes, THAT Dave Crowder) in his new book, “Praise Habit.”
“Think back. Try hard to recall what praise in its undiluted purity felt like. When you would dance with your arms fully extended rather than elbows bent, folded closely to your person in such a guarded fashion. Remember how effortlessly we sang the praises of things we enjoyed? It was so easy and natural. What if this kind of praise freely leaked from us in delightful response to God? What if life were like that all the time? What if we were so moved by who God is, what He’s done, what He will do, that praise, adoration, worship, whatever, continuously careened in our heads and pounded in our souls? What if praise were on the tip of our tongues like we were a loaded weapon in the hands of a trigger-happy meth addict and every moment just set us off? This is what we will do for eternity. What makes us think our time on earth should be any different? What keeps it from being so?”
That should stir you up a bit…so comment away!
