However what I have said in my blog outline does not disagree with the basic core of the liturgical structure. For I have both a.) and b.). Of course I disagree with the so called orthodox understanding of the Lord's Supper. However, I do not think I am recreating the wheel. <BR/>Perhaps your point about recreating wheel is more of a reference to what you perceive as the the "true" wheel or true worship, which is following the structure of the liturgy in a more strict fashion. If that is what you mean, I suggest that our theological epistemology's are quite different. Scripture is the authoritative standard by which I derive my necessary principals for my liturgy. In other words, even if that is what Chrysostom in 95 AD did, that does not establish that is exactly what I ought to do. <BR/>The fact that he did it does not establish that I ought to do it. <BR/>Perhaps you are suggesting that your liturgy is more of a preference and not a divinely ordained law. That is fine. My point in the post is trying to create a liturgy that is both scripturally and theologically saturated as well as culturally sensitive. Our practice of worship must also be informed by our culture because the gospel promised from Genesis to Revelation is that God will make a people for himself of many nations. Thus the post is my attempt to think about how to apply the necessary principals of scriptural worship to contemporary America. I would not impose all of my suggestions on other countries or even churches in my own country.<BR/>StephenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132460796041502311.post-2076173320570286072008-11-12T23:10:00.000-06:002008-11-12T23:10:00.000-06:00Why try to recreate the wheel?

In music, we should remember that to some extent we want the music to connect with the people. That is, they should be comfortable with that style. This is aesthetic of course.<BR/>preaching should be explicitly applicable. This is a point that should definitely be in the sermons. It is important to show how the word connects to us.<BR/><BR/>Samuel GanttAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
