God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

There is no purpose in having a basis or a confession of faith unless it is applied. So we must assert the element of discipline as being essential to the true life of the church. And what calls itself a church which does not believe in discipline, and does not use it and apply it, is therefore not a true church.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones

A steady diet of performances by soloists or even choirs can have the unintended effect of undermining the corporate, participative nature of our musical worship. People can gradually come to think of worship in terms of passive observation, which we do not see modeled in the Bible. Such a diet may also begin to blur the line between worship and entertainment, especially in a television-sopped culture like ours, where one of our most insidious expectations is to be always entertained. Of course, this blurring is hardly ever intended. But over time, separating the “performers” from “the rest of the congregation” can subtly shift the focus of our attention from God to the musicians and their talent – a shift that is frequently revealed by applause at the end of some performance pieces. Who is the beneficiary of such applause? (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

Eggs July 1991 1 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 Stick unsalted butter; softened (1/2 cup)
2/3 Firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tb Freshly grated lemon zest
1 lg Egg yolk
1/4 c Fresh lemon juice
1/4 ts Vanilla
1/4 ts Salt
3/4 c All-purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS

In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter with the brown sugar and
the zest until the mixture is light and fluffy and beat in the yolk, the
lemon juice, the vanilla, and the salt. Add the flour, sifted, and beat the
mixture until it is just combined well. Drop teaspoons of the batter 2
inches apart onto well-buttered baking sheets and bake the cookies in
batches in the middle of a preheated 350F. oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or
until they are golden around the edges. Let the cookies cool on the sheet
for 1 minute, or until they are just firm enough to be removed, and
transfer them to racks to cool.
Makes about 50 cookies.
