Worship gets us thinking differently. Worship moves our mind toward a different reality. Worship declares that these pressures and powers have no absolute authority. To sing Our God Reigns is a political act. To be sure, authorities intimidateus, our vices enslave us, illness frightens us, and commercials seduce us.
Worship is a political act.
It s only a song. Martin Luther King Jr. It began with Negro Spirituals. Look at the collapse of the Berlin Wall a decade ago. In worship, God s people think differently. In worship, God s people declare themselves free for the God of compassion and justice.
