As we considered a few weeks ago in our study of Nehemiah 8 (Authority of the Bible, part 2), a much neglected aspect of getting the Word of God "into our bones" is the ritual reenactment of the core tenets of our faith. Here is a helpful post on the importance of "becoming the liturgy." Be sure and watch the video which is linked near the end of the post. I agree with Ian Morgan Cron's observation that despite our craving for what some have described as the "quiver in the liver", sanctification is most often "slow" rather than "seismic." Enjoy.

Wow...excellent post! How humbling to realize the shallowness of wanting worship to be a bigger experience each week rather than seeking to "Become the liturgy".. as Ian Morgan Cron said in the video... Perhaps it's the "immediate gratification" ditch that's so easy to fall into, or wanting a bigger and better worship experience rather than remembering the deep (yet slow) magic of sanctification by means of repetition in worship and obedience. So good...
ReplyDeleteAmen, Amen! May the Lord be so kind and faithful to continue the slow work of sanctification and may I be thankful for His work, in His timing for His glory.
