A thought on worship....

"If I think what I do on Sunday's is true worship, I have missed it. If I go to church to see what I can get, I have missed it. If I judge my worship by how I feel, I have missed it. Worship is living a life of obedience to the Lord in all things. It's not only about singing to Him. When I have obeyed His will for my life on a daily basis, when I seek Him with all my heart, soul and mind, when I come before Him in my private and corporate worship with all I have(not seeking what I can get), then I have not only worshiped, but I have become a worshiper."

    that's so true
    I really agree with what you have said about worship. As a leader in my youth group, it is difficult to get the others to participate in worship(corporate). The music isn't so bad and we are supposed to be examples(1 tim. 4:12, I believe). I really b...more
