The Return of Liturgy

by Howard Schaap
…ff. Modernity and the secular age (as Charles Taylor calls it) is just too complex and comprised of a heterogeneous moral/normative sources/fragments to be simply adopted or rejected. So, on this score, Anglicanism seems to me a better ‘platform’ or tradition from which to do the sifting.” Part of what interests me is my own reaction to all of this. It’s a shrug of the shoulders, something between the resignation of, “Bummer; we could’ve used him;…

…eted pterosaur. But, I decided to try it anyway. Crocheting is a spiritual practice for me whether I’m using a pattern or not, but there is something particularly electrifying about imagining something and then making it become a reality. One dinosaur pattern led to several more dinosaur patterns. The more I created, the more excited I was about creating something in the future. Whenever I would finish making something new, I couldn’t help but sit…

…for me and both in seasons of life where I felt very in tune with or had a comfortable name for the source of that inspiration and in other seasons where I haven’t, it still feels like something that comes in from the outside, which is a really strange thing.

But it is precisely the complexity of politics—and the Church’s place within it—that undermines the whole of Grudem’s argument. For, if we acknowledge that politics is about more than just a presidential election, we must appreciate how our involvement in politics—our political citizenship—is about so much more than a single vote. It is also about our votes for o…

Obviously, the incarnation is a topic ripe for musical art, as observed in these few examples, selected from countless others. It’s all there: timing, drama, movement. But, we should note, the mystery, warmth, and power of the incarnation are tied to the reality of just who it was that showed up: God from God, Light from Light, True God fr…

To teach ourselves the kind of attention modeled in Smart’s manic chorus of praise—to cultivate that same deep and abiding affection for the world, in all its tiny particulars—can be a great gift.

The Sincerity of Love

…. A love where we honor one another above ourselves, share with the needy, practice hospitality, and are willing to associate with people of low position. It is a selfless, sacrificial love. Saying we “love” something is commonplace for many of us. It is a part of daily language and a habit that is hard to break. I am not asking you to change the way you speak. However, the next time you exclaim, “Oh, I love _____!”, may it remind you of what love…
