Eucharistic fellowship has the potential to shape worshipping communities in ways that are life-giving, in contrast to the attitudes and behaviors of conventional culture. Bible study of the Psalms, the church’s “school of prayer,” will reinforce the vision of worship as a vigorous engagement with God’s redemptive mission in a rebellious world. |
