From SRR Artist and Seminarian Luke Morton's Spring Newsletter:

This week I have been preparing to lead worship for the upcoming Sunday (May 25). While putting together the liturgy I had one of those moments where you think, "What am I doing right now?" Not only is the worship of a holy God a nearly insane concept (apart from Christ), but it also flies in the face of so many beliefs in our society. Why would you gather on a Sunday morning and sing songs together? How could you sit and listen to someone speaking authoritatively from a book thousands of years old? What value could there be in gathering around a table, talking about things like suffering, blood, atonement and resurrection? Isn't all this weird?

Then, coming out of this swirl of questions I thought, "But this is truth and life and though it does in fact seem alien to a world without Jesus, nothing could be sweeter."
