What about six? Or eight? I guess that would be more than two, hence, worship took place! I am referring to tonight's chapel service here at my forward-deployed location in Afghanistan. The camp is small and we are blessed enough that a chaplain finds a way to serve several small camps and bases throughout a pretty big area of this rugged landscape. The six of us followed worship that was led by an Army Chaplain with the assistance of an Army Chaplain's assistance. The music was played over a laptop through some small speakers and it was a mix of contemporary, jazzed up traditional, strict traditional, and acapella music. We learned of Abraham's faith and the relationship between faith and works - a sticky subject among modern protestants (as it has been over the ages). One thing the chaplain said that will stick with me for a long time summed it up pretty well:
"We are saved by faith alone, but faith that saves is never alone."
There's really nothing I could add to that to make it clearer!
