this week has been existential proof speaking against armenian thought. one who would choose to be fully armenian, because its much cooler, struggles with this.
i have often called worship the volition of cognition, devoting one's mind completely to Christ via the holy spirit and understanding the gospel through literature,history, art, music, education, sports, etc.
While the fundamental definition for me has gone unscathed - the practice of it rests on a presupposition that had yet to be defined clearly in my life.
this presuppostion is still taking shape in my soul, but in its simplist form boils down to; worshipping Christ not only promotes Christ as the affection of ones worhship but also the means unto which an individual can take part.

Movement is defined by action, however a static reference point is needed to actually determine movement. The presuppostion of this reference point is often forgotten, thus resulting in no movement at all, only chaos, frustration, and in some cases knashing of teeth.
walls of big words
though i struggle candidly, i filter it through the lense of philosophy and general terms. the above is a struggle i have had this last week. I have been numb to the gospel and for the first time in 7 days my affection is Christ.
