With saying this, though, I’m a little afraid of the response that will come, but I’m going to put myself out here on this issue anyway. Because I enjoy both styles of worship as long as they are done correctly. So please be loving and patient with me. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Dave,

Although I strongly disagree with your vacillation between biblical worship and contemporary worship; I see them as antithetical, I will not [Linked Image] you!

What I will do is share a passage of Scripture which years ago had a profound impact on the way I understood "worship in spirit and TRUTH", long before I understood the Reformed Faith as being cosmological (a worldview). I shall not offer any commentary on the passage but simply supply it with the intent that you read it carefully, meditate upon it and pray to the Lord for wisdom in applying it.

Exodus 20:24-25 (ASV) "An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee. And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it."

In His grace,
