But just because I didn't take the time to do so doesn't mean they are "words with no meaning." I don't usually write academically on this blog, where one would expect to find constant defining of terms, etc. Part of the issue is that I am simply giving an overview/impression of a book I was reading in these posts, where a lot of these things are laid out in more detail, etc. Hi Joshua,

You should have spent more time defining some of the terms. I bet you have some great things to say that I would love to hear but you have covered it all up in words with no meaning. Did you have anything at all to say when you started writing this article? Couldn't you have said it a lot more clearly and concisely? I really want to know what you think about Liturgy? What do you think about worship? unfortunately your article here doesn't seem to address either subject O_o I don't see Liturgy as existing in the New Testament at all. I see worship described quite well by romans 12:1 as obedience to God in our family life and in teaching biblical theology to others and obeying God and living a sinless life of obedience and surrender to God. your article is a ton of words that say absolutely nothing.

I think I have it on my pile of 12 about to be tackled by moi. When asked about the greatest commandement, Jesus first said to love God with all you have. The emphasis was on LOVE. If mission is "love on its feet" , then mission seems a visible and active demonstration/ image/by-product of love. And...Love and worship are, to use your words, organically linked..........

Mission MUST be theocentric rather than anthropocentric. My motivation is subject to change with the attributes of who I serve. If my mission is theocentric, my motivation will be influenced by the unchangeable attributes of God. Quote-For only when the church presents people as unblemished sacrifices before God will it become the community of God's people. Sounds like Chan is echoing Romans 12:1…’living sacrifices’…?
