Tonight at Kairos the subject was worship. I am a fan of worship, but I think I tend to make it too much of an event and not enough of a lifestyle. Worship isn’t just singing or great music. That’s part of it, but there’s so much more to it.
The takeaway from tonight that really blew my mind is this: everything is worship. Every single thing I do and say is me worshipping, whether that be God or something else. Everything. John Calvin said that the heart is an idol factory, always offering up a god for me to worship other than the one true God.
How well I live out my worship doesn’t just affect me. There are many people watching my worship, determining their view of Jesus by what they see of me. I may be the only Jesus some ever see, the only Bible some will ever read. That should give me pause.
God is the only true object worthy of worship. Even if God only saved me and never did one thing more for me, I would still owe Him an eternity’s worth of worship.
Will you make worship an event or a lifestyle? Will you make it a one day, one hour a week thing or a 24/7 everyday kind of thing?
God, make us true worshippers of You who will truly worship you in spirit and in truth by everything we say and everything we do. May our worship be a witness of just how good You are.
Amen.

I intended to compose you the very little word to be able to give thanks again considering the striking suggestions you have shared in this article. It’s really tremendously generous of people like you to offer easily exactly what a number of people might have offered for an electronic book in making some profit for themselves, chiefly given that you could have done it in case you decided. Those strategies as well served to be a easy way to be certain that many people have the same eagerness like my own to see more regarding this issue. Certainly there are some more fun moments ahead for individuals who look over your blog post.
