Pastor's sermon was simple and uneventful. I am starting to read D. A. Carson's "Worship by the Book" again and have set my mind to thinking about this more.
Lately I have been pondering John 17 and his use of "doxa" or glory. When we give "glory" to God, we are ascribing him weightiness. Does our worship reflect His infinite weightiness? Granted, how could it fully? Yet, is our 4/4 time, 5 chord vocabulary and predictable language doing Him justice?
I don't have an answer to this. I play rhythm guitar on the church band, yet (as you may have read) I am training to sing opera professionally.
I guess it comes down to this, at least in part. I can't sing beautifully at this church...my music preference doesn't seem to qualify as worshipful.
