I believe that God doesn't give us new instruction corporately, like He did through Moses or Jesus, that since Jesus is our Prophet, Priest, and King, that none of those offices need to be filled by humans anymore. I should say by King I mean how David was king of Israel, ruling by divine will, not how Queen Elizabeth is Queen of England, ruling by human authority. But back to how we agree... I love that list. I'm trying to become more purposeful about reading Scripture, meditating and praying, even if it's little prayers. I heard a preacher say last Sunday that before he gets out of bed in the morning and before he goes to sleep at night, he talks to his wife, asks her how she is, tells her he loves her -- why don't we do at least that much for God, who is supposed to be so much more to us? I also was struck by the reference to participating in the Sacrament... does that mean Communion/The Lord's Supper? My baby kept me up until 4 last night, so we accidentally slept through church and missed Sacrament, and I was really disappointed. It DOES make a big difference in my spiritual life.
