Weekend Musings
Our approaches to worship are too familiar.
We have boldness to go into the throne room of God through the blood of an eternal covenant (Ephesians 3:12; Hebrews 13:20) but we should never equate that boldness with flippancy.
When I think of passages like Exodus 11-12 and the ferocious love of God for his people I am reminded of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Dillard’s quote in Teaching a Stone to Talk.
… It is madness to wear ladies’ straw hats and velvet hats to church; we should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers should issue life preservers and signal flares; they should lash us to our pews.”
— Annie Dillard, Teaching a Stone to Talk
Long been one of my favorite quotes.
