Stimulating thoughts from class today:
The quest for meaning will not be answered by turning inward on the self but by focusing on the external revelation of God. Then he will tell you who you are.
The substance of worship is RELATIONSHIP. Rightly ordered relationship in which we recognize God in his place, and he gives us our place.
Worship is not limited to Sunday mornings.
Worship is a matter of the heart, not methods.
Prayer is the center of relationality. It is the substance of coming to know one another. Prayer is a deep walk into the heart and life of God.
Memorizing Scripture promotes intimacy between you and God.
We must liberate ourselves from the conventions of cultural religion. WE are not advocating an abandonment of culture. But a recognition that Christian theology has a responsibility in culture, not to it. We are salt, light, and yeast. We must discover the possibilities of "littleness."
