Worship forms continue to be a talking point within our Lutheran circles. At the heart of those discussions are often disagreements about who is right and who is wrong, which form is best, what Divine Setting is most pure, or what instrument is most proper. Unfortunately, those considerations can get hijacked by intense emotions and we lose the ability to speak in ways that the other can hear or loses sight of what and Who is at the heart of our worship.

We live in what’s called the Information Age. It’s a time when digital opinions, soundbites, diversions, and distractions are everywhere. With just a click of a button we are brought down the path of abundant data and get lost for hours in the mundaneness of a digital universe. Information is all around, but information is not the same as wisdom. In fact, an overload of information brings its own problems.
