  I do not agree with Rev. Wright’s New Perspective on Paul (NPP) position. The NPP is an attack on the penal substitution view of atonement. I do love his cool accent!

  I do not agree with Wright on Paul either, but he is dead on in this video about worship.

  I guess I should say, “spot on!”

  Jolly good bit, NT. Thanks for sharing it with us, Shane.

  Many people may hunger for the experience of worship, but I think many more people hunger for the intimate, authentic, experiential type of relationship with God in which worship is merited and inherent. The movements to help people “experience the presence of God” attest to this. In a relationship with God where God’s presence and love is felt, moments of spontaneous worship happen daily, perhaps hourly, and so does continuous prayer. If this type of relationship is missing, then any type of worship–liturgical or free form–lacks attractiveness and meaning.

  Sometimes we find that participating in worship leads us into an awareness of the love and presence of God, as we collectively or alone review through song, prayer, scripture, and/or meditation, the many statements God has made about loving us and desiring to live with us and us with Him. Yet, it is the relationship that fills our hunger. If we are not ready or desiring of the relationship, then no amount of worships services will ever reach us and give us this experience.
