Rather he holds high the cross of Christ and the challenge to each would-be disciple to take up that cross, with all of the attending costs of such an action. What such a discipleship can expect is not a life free of troubles, but rather a deep sense of satisfaction and joy in the midst of life's struggles. It is impossible to be a person of faith without being joined to a whole community of people whose lives have been narrated by the story of faith. And the experience of worship is at the heart of that community. Worship is always useless.
All worship is good for is love.
All it is good for is delight. All it is good for is joy. Worship is a kind of wasting time with God . . . . All you can do is enjoy it. Unlike much of what we find in the psalms, Currie's theology tends to be oriented toward the therapeutic and the charitable, rather than justice.
