Principles for worship at HBC #7

6. Earnestness and intensity will mark our meetings.


We will try to avoid being trite, flippant, superficial, or frivolous, but instead will aim to set an example of reverence and passion and wonder and broken-hearted joy.

  1. I'm struck (again) how often I fall short of this. May the Lord give us increasing measures of joy and selfless abandonment to him in the midst of our corporate praise!

  2. I want to let the music team of Heritage what a joy it has been to hear you all progress and mature. The music has truly been a blessing to my soul and every week I look forward to being fed not only by the preached word but by the sung word as well. Keep it up!

  3. Can you define "selfless abandonment?" I thought we were getting better at it and now it seems like our expressions may be a bit reigned in. If we can get excited about sports contests and show our enthusiasm in certain ways, why not in the much more important act of worship?

  4. Good question! I decided to post it and respond at length.
