Something has been growing in mind ever since being back here at BBC. May I not be speaking heresy in this, but I fear (specifcally in our musical worship) that we (Christians in general) are too focused on the act of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection.
By this I mean that we are missing out on so much of God by focusing specifically just the gospel message. Christ's act of salvation is the foundation of the faith we have, and being thus, we must continually come back to the foundation of our purpose this side of Heaven. But the foundation is just that, a starting point. It is a door to an infinite amount of Glory I fear we miss because we focus only on a single aspect of our faith (as great as that aspect is!).
Christ is our Mediator to God. We cannot come to the Father in worship except through Christ as Burroughs mentions on pages 121-122. It is because of Christ's death and resurrection that we have fellowship with the Father. But may we not only praise our infinite God in just one area. May we exalt the Name of God for His creation, His justice, His laws, His faithfulness in promises, His patience, etc. etc. etc.
Is this a legitamate concern? Am I speaking heresy?
