The Worship Quote of the Week for (06/09/1998):

Worship Is Alive Today's quote is another from a short and wonderful book on worship by Milburn Price and Gary Furr. WORSHIP IS ALIVE Christian worship is alive because, in its essence, it is a conversation between two living realities-the one true, eternal God and the body of Christ, the church. Because worship is a conversation and not a mere review of the past, it is dynamic, unpredictable, and open-ended. Who knows what might transpire on any given day when a group of believers hears and responds to the Word of God! -- Gary A. Furr and Milburn Price in THE DIALOGUE OF WORSHIP: CREATING SPACE FOR REVELATION AND RESPONSE, Smyth & Helwys, 1998, p. 89. [I highly recommend this book to pastors, church musicians and anyone who plans, leads, or participates in worship in a local church-available from the publisher at 1-800-747-3016.] Have a great week, Chip Stam
