Reverence

“Scripture teaches it’s good to sing songs that voice both joy and sadness. But there’s another emotion Scripture commends to us and our churches that can get neglected: reverence.” - TGC

“… question from a reader: How do you dispose of a worn-out Bible? Is there a protocol, like with a flag?” - TGC

“In ‘American fundamentalist worship’ we consider reverence the defining characteristic of what we do, but I wonder if, in our hearts, we are truly as reverent as we think we are.” - Proclaim and Defend
