I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.—Hosea 6:6 (ESV)Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. —James 1:27-2:1 (ESV)For whatever reason, I haven’t much mentioned Barb and her blog, A Former Leader’s Journey—maybe only once or twice, actually; I’m not sure why that is, since I appreciate her and what she has to say, but it’s just the way it’s played out. Tonight, though, I simply had to mention a beautiful post she put up today on worship, “Worship That He is Pleased With—or Worship in the Bathroom”; I think she goes right to the heart of the matter, and I commend her post to your reading.
