Topic: When We Worship

When we worship we are, regardless of the form, place, or circumstance of the worship, to be in a spirit of adoring love of Christ. When we worship, we are to be in a total spirit of honor. When we worship, we are to be in a spirit that honors God's presence in our heart and life. When we worship, we are to be in a spirit of reverence or a spirit of awe at God's powerful love and majesty. When we worship, we are to be in a spirit that wants to praise Him and lift up our hearts to Him. Having said all this, experiencing the love of God in worship is not possible if we come to the sanctuary and expect to "get something out of it." When we come to worship expecting to "get something out of it" we are being selfish. True worship is a time when we are in a spirit of offering up to God rather than sitting and waiting on God to offer something up for us. If we come to worship expecting God to do something for us rather than our offering something for Him, a selfish attitude diminishes His love in us. A selfish attitude of expecting God to deliver for us in worship makes Him remote. We find His love through worship, as a gathering of his people who love Him, who love each other as a family, who share that love with each other. We find His love in worship when we go to worship in a spirit of giving to God rather than expecting God to give to us.
