Worship should be engaging !

I've discovered over the years that worship gatherings can be somewhat less than engaging. I've wondered why that is and often it is due to my own lack of preparedness. But, even when I'm well prepared to worship with others, I'm often left not having engaged with God and feeling empty.

Let me propose a thought as to why I think that is . . .

In his book,
Engaging with God: A Biblical Theology of Worship, David Peterson states that,

Worship of the living and true God is essentially
‘an engagement with him on the terms that he proposes and in the way that he alone makes possible'

So, with this in the fore of my mind, I ask, What would your response be if I were to say . . .

Worship is Jesus Christ !

What is important about worship?

My blog on Spiritual Formation is now back in action and will be used specifically for comments to my responses to the Mentoring Guide that I will be developing as part of my Thesis.

I am currently doing my Thesis study on Spiritual Formation through Worship Leading and would very much appreciate your input into this whole process. No worries, you don't have to come up with anything "profound" or something that even sound remotely great! I'm looking for honest, down to earth kinds of responses to what worship is all about.

On this Blog, at least during the research and implementation of my Thesis/Project I will ask some questions or post material that I think is significant to worship. Please, please take a moment to comment or ask questions.

Here goes!

What do you think is the most important thing about worship?

Remember, I'm not looking for researched answers or responses - just what you are thinking!

Welcome

Welcome everyone!

This blog is all about issues in worship that I'd like to reflect on and if possible, start some discussion on. I hope to provide resource and reflection on those resources.

Please feel free to add links to resources and make comments!
