Revelation for Normal People Quotes

“Justice and worship are intertwined in John's theology. In modern terms, John is saying that worship is not something that stays within the walls of the church. In John's theology, the songs and rituals enact a worldview that results in real world-changing action. To sing these words and neither witness to God nor act for justice is a disconnect that John cannot imagine.”

“One of the key themes in Revelation is about who you worship, because the object of your worship is a sign of your true allegiance.”
