Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Lk. 6:45). What flows out of your mouth? God’s church, when it is functioning as it ought, leads disciples to vibrant worship and praise. Jesus also said, “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24).
Just as central as truth being taught to build up God’s church (that was # 1, last week); is the fact that our Holy God is to be worshipped. He is to be adored with all of our heart, soul mind and strength. Our lips are to honor Him. I love singing the old traditional songs and the new praise songs. I love our congregational prayers, too! What a thrill to unite in one mind and one heart as a brother publicly leads us to the Creator of the universe! And gathering around the Lord’s table is yet one more time to link hearts together. We join as ONE when we commune with each other and with Him around the Lord’s Table. We share the bread and drink the cup as ONE! Our giving is one more unmistakable form of worship. My cheerful giving says, I trust the Almighty God not the almighty dollar.
A Vibrant Worshipper,
