……on the quest for “good” on the quest for “good” worshipworship“We cannot find excellent corporate
worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself.
…If you want to deepen the worship of the people of God, above all deepen their grasp of his ineffable majesty in his person and in all his works” – D.A. Carson

other thoughts to start other thoughts to start with…with…When we meet for corporate worship, we must
consciously begin with the question: How must we conduct our lives and shape the meeting (“service”) so as to glorify God? Because:
1. Corporate worship that is informed and shaped by the Scriptures’ vision of God will cast off idolatries and foster worship in the truth and Spirit.
2. A stunning vision of God will promote holy living3. Such a vertical focus will enhance horizontal (ie.
among the body) unity4. A massive vision of God and worship will keep our
hearts from wandering…the proper approach to worship must but God-
focused and then human sensitive. Only when the question of God’s glory and pleasure is addressed can the second question, regarding humanity, be pressed.
3“Worship by the Book”, Carson, pg 150-151

More personally…More personally…A Living Sacrifice = A Living Sacrifice = WorshipWorship 1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers,
by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. [Rom 12:1-2]

on Music and Selection…on Music and Selection…“Music has validity in Christian
worship only as it participates in, and contributes to, as service of the Word from beginning to end…Music serves preaching” – R. Kent Hughes
“The selection of appropriate worship music is not merely a matter of choice between traditional and contemporary Christian music. The decision must be made on principle. Whatever the genre of music it must meet three criteria: text, tune, and fit.”

On preferences…On preferences…“When the Bible calls us to sing God’s
praises, we are not given the tunes or the rhythm. We are not told how repetitive the lyrics should be…so to give any concrete form to our gathered worship we must ‘fill in the blanks’ that the Bible leaves open. When we do so, we will have to draw on tradition; on the needs, capacities, and cultural sensibilities of our people; and on our own personal preferences. Though we cannot avoid drawing on our own preferences, this should never be the driving force.” – Timothy J. Keller

……on expectationson expectationsWe cannot suit every taste present in our
congregations in everything we do, nor should we: it could be a bad sign if someone leaving at the end of a church service remarked, ‘Every aspect of that service was exactly how I wanted it to be.’. Every church service ought to be a mixture of tastes, challenging all of us to make greater allowances for the tastes and preferences of others present. It ought to widen our ‘comfort zones’ without getting to the point where we find the mixture too threatening.” – Mark Ashton

……on what’s really on what’s really importantimportant“We will want to be sure that our
services pronounce clearly on the foundational truths of Christianity: the deity of Christ, salvation by grace alone, the centrality of the cross, the authority of the Bible, and so forth…so long as the center is clear, the edges can be fuzzy.” – Mark Ashton
