"It is one of the sad indictments of evangelical worship today that it has so little scripture in it." and "Our prayers ought to be permeated with the language and thought of scripture." Both of these statements are aimed at corporate worship, but it seems that it is not a stretch to consider the implications for the individual heart. It seems that the man who has made scripture the center of his daily thinking process would naturally (and joyfully) transfer that pattern of thought into his worship.
Is it possible that the primary responsibility for the God honoring worship leader is to engender a love of scripture in the flock? Not just to keep scripture at the center of the preaching, praying, and singing, but to equip and encourage that same centrality in believers?
