Question: What do you say to the person who says that church is not relevant and is boring?
R.C. Sproul: If we go to the Scriptures and see the record of individuals who encounter God in this world (e.g., Jacob at Bethel, Abraham in Genesis 15, Moses and the burning bush, Habakkuk, Job, Jeremiah, Isaiah), you’ll see a wide range of human emotions and reactions. Sometimes it’s a giddy joy. Sometimes it’s just an awe inspiring silence. Sometimes it’s the quivering lip and the trembling belly. Sometimes it’s the rottenness that enters the bones. Other times it’s weeping. There is no singular, monolithic, prescribed, human emotional response to an encounter with God’s presence in holy Scripture. If you canvass all of those events, the one emotion you will never ever, ever find in Scripture is that people are bored in the presence of God. So instead of trying to entertain and keep people’s attentions, why don’t we simply present God to the people and develop our worship in every way to awaken the people to the presence and character of Almighty God? If you bring people into the presence of God and give them His word, how can it not be relevant?

In countering an overly emotional and sometimes illogical culture, we Christians should not make the past mistake of ceding art, for example, to lost people. But if our God is beautiful, then we are by definition interested in beauty…the gospel does not shut down our imagination or our love for beautiful things, but rather fires and fuels them and directs them to the God who embodies beauty.

much needed reminder as i pick up the songwriting stone again.

God in His love always wills what is best for us, in His wisdom He always knows what is best, and in His sovereignty He has the power to bring it about.

We praise what we enjoy because the delight is incomplete until it is expressed in praise. If we were not allowed to speak of what we value and celebrate what we love and praise what we admire, our joy would not be full.
So if God loves us enough to make our joy full, He must not only give us Himself; He must also win from us the praise of our hearts—not because He needs to shore up some weakness in Himself or compensate for some deficiency, but because He loves us and seeks the fullness of our joy that can be found only in knowing and praising Him, the most magnificent of all Beings.
John Piper from Desiring God, pg. 49 [paragraphing added]
