Allen P. Ross On True Worship and the "Secular Life"
“There is no secular life for devout worshippers, not for those who in genuine humility (Phil. 2:5-11) make pleasing God their goal (2 Cor. 5:9). They are filled with joy in their worship and ready to meet the needs of others (Heb. 13:15-16). For the devout, every moment is an opportunity for the spiritual life. “But when pride takes over and selfish ambition is the rule of the day so that the needs of the community are ignored, then the words of the prophetic rebukes and warnings that first came to Israel resound in our sanctuaries as well: God still … Read Entire Post

Is The Sunday Service About Covenant Renewal? John Witvliet speaks …
From Worship Seeking Understanding, by Dr. John Witvliet: “Just as the people of Israel gathered together to renew their covenant with God (i.e., Josh. 24:1-27), so we Christians gather to renew the new covenant God has made with us in Christ. Christian worship is like a covenant renewal service in which the gathered reaffirm the vows made with God in Christ. Guided by a liturgy, in a worship service, we renew the promises we made (and often failed to keep) to God, and we hear again the promises God has made (and kept!) in Christ.
