Selected Reading, November 28, 2020

 

A few good things to read this weekend.

Life

Dorothy at the Window
“I will remember the summer of 2020 for many things. I will remember it as the summer when I asked my neighbor if I could hug her. I will remember it as the summer when I could drive around my little town and see store signs assuring me they were open (“Please come buy stuff!”). I will remember it as the summer when I could look out my window and see broad daylight, yet not be allowed to walk in it. With all these things, I will also remember it as the summer I saw Dorothy at the window.” —Esther O’Reilly

Biography

Worship

Multidirectional, Participatory Worship
Gathered worship is not a spectator sport—not for God, and not for the people of God. “In the gathered assembly, there are multi-directional dimensions to the various elements of worship. We gather together on the Lord’s Day to look vertically, horizontally, outwardly, inwardly, backwardly, and forwardly in the elements that guide a biblical and God-honoring worship service.” — Nicholas Batzig
