Worship:

    Worship is the result of the heart responding to who God is and what He has done.


     It is troublesome to me that in some of today's churches, the musicians who lay a musical grid on the service are casually called a worship team. 


     Real worship can't be produced by formula or group instruction.  Of course, there are infinite dimensions and levels of worship.  Yes, we call it the Worship service, and  assembling together in obedience lays a foundation.


     We are instructed to worship the Lord, therefore we can expect Him to lead us and meet us.  It is not always a feeling and that is where some have missed the boat.  In some circles there is a frenzied attempt to create a feeling.  But it isn't worship.


     If you begin telling the Lord what you love about Him, you will begin to see how great He is and how small we are.  List to Him the things you love about changed lives and hearts.  Describe to Him how much you need Him and how great is His faithfulness.   Perhaps you will sing to Him.  Tell Him how much you love His Word and quote to Him some of your favorite verses.


        When individuals who worship privately come together, there is corporate worship. 
    It is a collective experience of hearts responding to the awesomeness of God.
