Where Does Worship Begin?
WHERE DOES WORSHIP BEGIN? Everybody worships. Whether if is a hero, possessions, success, pleasure, a political cause, a carved idol or oneself, the way we live and behave makes evident the things we love and give ourselves to. It is in our very nature to worship, and that inner drive is God-given; the disaster is that as part of a fallen race, we have replaced the object of our worship. To be converted to faith in Jesus Christ is to return to the worship of the true God, and to dethrone all rivals to his authority. -- Graham Kendrick, from WORSHIP, Kingsway Publications, 1984, p.24. [May we continue to turn our God-given worshiping nature toward the only worthy object. The source becomes the goal.] Have a great week, Chip Stam Pastor of Worship and Music Chapel Hill Bible Church Chapel Hill, North Carolina |
