Puritan Board Freshman
It seems that I have started a riot on my school forums involving the RPW.
It's funny because it was not my intentions. I stated one small little thing about it in the background and now there has been an outburst of assertions and questions hitting me. I didn't mean to get myself in such an overwhelming situaton. However, I have a lot of motivation to study worship now.
So the key issues come down to this.
What is corporate worship and how does scripture support it and construct it?
I have heard people mention that for something to be corporate worship it has to have a ordained minister, use sacraments, and such. So what is the meaning behind it that distinguishes it from our daily obligation of worship to God?
I hear so many people say things like " if we can't use instruments in coroporate worship then we can't use it in anything because everythng we do is worship."
For these people, in their ignorance, corporate worship doesn't really exists, it is just a nice practical idea to help give us a spritual surge before the week comes. But there is no difference between corporate worship and our worship outside of church....
Shed me some light, and pray for me as I am very frusterated at the moment!
