The Full Counsel Part 3: Intentionality in Worship - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

            Intentionality
is surely required for worship to be pleasing to the Lord. Without
intentionality, churches risk human motivation, selfish desires, and false
teachings through worship practices. Nevertheless, for an intentional approach
to occur, an intentional method must be employed. Even in a free tradition, a
useful method is liturgy. Whether utilizing a historic liturgy or a liturgy
adapted for contextual reasons, liturgy is the link between intentionality and
planning. Despite humanity’s vast imperfections, God’s standards are matchless
in demanding perfection. Christians, therefore, should strive for excellence in
all worship practices; what is lacking is filled by the power of the Holy
Spirit and the mediation of Jesus Christ. On a biblical, Spirit-led, and
historic basis, liturgy provides an avenue for local churches to rightly
declare the full counsel of God in an intentional manner.
