CLFM: tues 10.16.07

WORSHIP

Shorter Westminster Catechism:
 Q; What is the cief end of man?
 A: Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

What does it mean to be a worshipper?

"It is madness to wear ladies' straw hats and velvet hats to church; we should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers hsould issue preservers and signal flars; they should lash us to our pews." -Annie Dillard
   -Worship is dangerous...worship should change you.....its a freaking crazy adventure and you need protection-

-OT stresses God's transcendence
   -NT stresses God's immanence
   -Need to understand transcendence to understand immanence


#1: To see God clearly for who He is (Is. 6:1-4)

#2: See ourselves clearly (Is. 6:5-7)

#3: Hear and respond to God's call (Is. 6:8)
