Momentous, Urgent, & Glorious

“Christian worship is the most momentous,

the most urgent, and the most glorious action

that can take place in human life.”

— Karl Barth

[Let’s spend the month of August 2018 looking at some quotes, lines, memes, and other timeless ephemera — how’s that for an oxymoron? — that are too good not to share. Let’s contextualize some, let’s dissect others, and let’s simply enjoy still others. Let’s go!]

Psalm 100:4 — “Enter God’s gates with thanksgiving, and God’s courts with praise! Give thanks to God and bless God’s name!”

“Fruitful and acceptable worship begins before it begins,” says Alexander MacLaren.

Psalm 8:1 — “O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.”
