Say Again: Revelation and Worship
By christopherlyon
Bob Kauflin at the Worship Matters blog is talking today about a book called Engaging with God: A Biblical Theology of Worship by David Peterson.
We liked this excerpt from the book, about worship and the book of Revelation, one we don’t always turn to for the content of our songs to God.
The hymnic material in the book of the Revelation…should alert us to the importance of singing God’s praise in a way that is truly honoring to him and helpful to his people. Do our hymns and songs concentrate on praising God for his character and his mighty acts in history on our behalf? Do they focus sufficiently on the great truths of the gospel? There is always a temptation to focus too much on the expression of our own immediate needs.
