Fulfilling Our Ultimate Purpose

In genuine corporate worship, we delight in God together. As a body, we gaze upon his beauty (Psalm 27:4). We may enjoy the music, the sermon, the others who join us in worship, but primarily, we enjoy seeing and knowing God as his gathered church.

Linked Together: Recommended for Listening

Vocation
Wayne Grudem on A Theology of Work/Vocation. (I was especially interested in what Grudem says about running a business.

Apologetics
I just began listening to this series of lectures by Prof. James Anderson on Worldview Apologetics (Triablogue).
