Well, there's another day missed. The irony this time is that I
was bogged down in creative bulletins for all of the worship services of
Christmastide.
The first question of the Westminster catechism, a set of
questions and answers that for hundreds of years shaped churches in the
Reformed tradition, asks about the chief end and purpose of human life. The
answer is "to glorify God and enjoy Him [sic] forever."
In other words: worship is why we're here, according to the Westminster
divines.
I tend to think that they posited God in their own image way more
than they'd care to admit. It takes a pretty damned self-centered diety to
create creatures merely to have a bunch of doting beings sitting around
worshipping their creator.
But I digress. Also, I have to get back to creating worship
opportunities. That seems to be my chief end this week.
