Desiderant Angeli

Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully...
...which angels desire to look into.

Revivalism, Pt. 5

Revivalism, Pt. 5

1. Worship is transformational.

2. This is inescapably true of both acceptable and unacceptable worship.

3. It is therefore very important to make sure we are leading the congregation in acceptable worship.

4. This calls for very careful Bible study and a very different set of goals than may be found in typical American Evangelical Churches.

5. Meeting the preferences and felt needs of a target "audience" is not a worthwhile goal.

6. This is because it is precisely their needs and desires which are to be transformed by worshiping God acceptably.

7. By carefully structuring our worship on Biblical precepts, principles, and examples, we will over time create a body of worshipers joyfully engaged in the liturgy, but only as a side effect of a more worthy goal--offering God what He says He wants.
