Welcome to the new WorshipInstitute.com
Sunday, December 28th, 2008It is always true: some things will never be the same and some things will never change.
It is certainly true of WorshipInstitute.com, this website, and our attitude toward you. Some things have changed irrevocably and forever. Other realities remain fixed and firm.
First, we at WI.com are firmly fixed on the Presence of God. The Lord is the Center; we orbit. He leads; we follow. He is the Power and the Glory; His completeness flows out through our weakness. He is everything. We look to Him.
Second, life is relational. None of us are complete by ourselves. We are all cells in His body, molecules of water in His river. Like birds coalescing into a clearly defined and oscillating circle, we are mysteriously linked into a unified whole being. We are all “called” to lose ourselves in the beauty of His created order.
We understand that all we write or say or sing or think is only part of the story. You bring an essential dimension to the circle. So, we invite you to join with us in exploring and embracing His Presence.
Despite our name, our ministry (including this website) is not about worship. It is about Him. Worship describes the creature’s relationship to the Creator. Yes, we will get to that. But, fixating on worship (or anything else) creates a sub-culture which inevitably becomes “God and…” As such, it competes with His centrality. That is not who we are.
We look forward to walking in relationship with you. Please let us know what that means to you and how we can work together to lose ourselves in the larger beauty of His creation.
