Things have been sparse here for a couple of days because I’ve been preparing two posts that are posted elsewhere this morning. First, I posted at Out of the Ordinary on what it means to worship In Spirit and Truth.
If God, as spirit, does not have a physical location, then those who worship him are not required to be at any one physical location to do so. There is no one right place to worship our God who is not himself limited to space. He can be worshipped everywhere.
While there is not one required place to worship God, there are indeed “musts” for our worship. Real worship, Jesus goes on, must be done “in spirit and truth.”
All the October post at Out of the Ordinary will be about worship. Read Kim Shay’s introduction to the topic.
And I have a post on Lois and Eunice, Timothy’s grandmother and mother, at Theology for Girls, too.
Lois and Eunice were ordinary women in ordinary circumstances who were faithful in a rather ordinary way. Their situation was not ideal: They were raising a child who either had no father or an unbelieving one. Still, they taught young Timothy God’s word, and God’s word, as always, accomplished what he purposed for it.
It’s my addition this fall’s Women in Scripture Series. You’ve been reading all the contributions, right?
I may be back later today to finally post this week’s theological term: the twofold state of Christ, aka the two states of Christ.
