The Atom of Worship

I have this tendancy to listen to the same CD over and over and over until I find a new CD I can do this with.

And lately I have been listening to A Collision (or 3+4=7) by David Crowder Band.

And my favorite part of the album is the second to last track called "A Conversation" It's just that...a conversation between David Crowder and a reporter for some magazine or something.

So they begin the interview over the phone, and the reporter asks Crowder about the cover of the album...seen below...

His specific question was about the atom. He really doesn't understand what it means...and I love Crowder's response.

He tells the reporter that just like the diagram/sketch/drawing of the atom that we have is inadequate and un-realistic, so are the elements of worship that we have. But this is what we have, and it helps to carry on this idea.

And I would have to agree. Like the atom depiction, our methods of worship are not anything like what worship will be like when we reach the Father in Heaven. We can't even begin to fathom what that will be like.

But this is what we have, and we should use it to the fullest of our ability. We KNOW that the atom diagram is not absolute and concrete, but we still use it and are still making major advances in the field of science.

So shouldn't we do the same in the field of worship...a.k.a our LIVES?

Something I have been pondering in my brain.

Another story...about my weird tendencies that lead to creative thinking...
