I'm happy to be talking about it because there's almost nothing more important in the worship of the church than the sense that in worship we are confronting not human inventions or human traditions, but biblical and divine institutions. When our people come to church, they have to know, they need to know, they deserve to know, that they're coming to church to do the things God has told them to do in His Word. And I'm happy to be here speaking on this subject because there's nothing more important in our day, I think, than a careful restatement of both the biblical framework and the biblical basis of the regulative principle of the worship of the church. If the people of God are to worship in a way that is both pleasing to him, protective of their liberty, and richly brings to them a sense of the presence of God, the special presence of God in the worship of his church, then we need to understand this issue a whole lot better than we do.
