Three Cheers for D.A. Carson

I really loved that interview with Don Carson.

I loved this comment on repetitious songs:
"This is why I don't like things that go on and on, repeating the same thing again and again. They are like mantras. They worry me. Not that there shouldn't be any repetition-some of the psalms are repetitious-but when it becomes a way of building people up to an emotional high, it's a form of manipulation that is not godly. "

But the most helpful was his explanation of New Covenant worship; an event that, unlike its predecessor, occurs anywhere, anytime. The importance then of Sunday Morning is that the worshiping church meets together, for things like "instruction, edification, the Lord's Supper, sharing with one another, con­fessing sins, prayers, singing, and so on."
