Comments on: Monday Devotions - The Precious Blood http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/07/monday-devotion/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Mon, 08 Sep 2008 05:28:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Jeffrey http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/07/monday-devotion/#comment-587 Jeffrey Sun, 09 Jul 2006 18:17:35 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com?p=173#comment-587 Hey bob, new to your blog. Having grown up in a traditional sect of evangelicalism, I too was taught that our sin had somehow distorted or skewed the image that God created us in. In recent months, however, I feel the Spirit speaking something different within me. That said, I'd be curious to hear where you feel such a teaching and/or understanding comes from.

I would (from my own experience) balance that by saying that we ought to delight in the value that <b>God</b> places on us. I don't think is contradictory to your statement, but rather an expansion, as the emphasis is on God. While I recognize that much of our Christian culture is headed in the direction of what is little more than man-worship (for that, truly, is the error against which you caution), there is still the element that under-emphasizes, de-emphasizes, or flat out denies the value that God ascribes to us, even after salvation. That, I believe, is just as aggregious an error. I know that you are not advocating swinging the pendulum that far. Just yelling a caution from the formerly hyper-fundy side of the road. ;-) Good points, Bob.

Thanks so much for this devotional and the song. It is absolutely beautiful, and more importantly, it is doctrinally thought provoking. I can't wait to hear the whole CD!!
