Full Text:
Our worship is our life in microcosm. For we are commissioned as disciples (Matt. 28:19f.) to
[1] baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
[our liturgy, like our discipleship, begins in baptism],
[2] and teach them to observe all that I have commanded you
[the very task of the ministry of the Word].
[3] I will be with you always, to the end of time
[the promise that is renewed at the Lord’s table].
—James Wm. McClendon, Jr., “The Signs of Salvation: Christian Worship,” Chapter Nine in Doctrine (Systematic Theology, Vol. 2), 412
