What is Worship?
I’ve come to believe that there is nothing that people are more opinionated about or have such deep feelings about than worship. I recently saw a T-shirt that simply said, ”Your favorite band sucks.” It was quite the blanket insult. The only thing that I could think of that could make the T-shirt more insulting would be to add “And how you understand God is stupid…”
People have very deep and pronounced opinions about musical tastes and religion so when you mix them together you have a subject that can be very volatile. Please don’t think that I am equating music to worship because worship is much more than music. It’s just that music is a part of worship, and maybe the part we all are most opinionated about. That song was too fast, too slow, too loud, not loud enough, too old, too new, too repetitive, and so on and so on.
This week at the Journey we are going to look at what scripture says about worship, why it’s important and what our response is.
