Worship! Who, what, where, when and how; does it really matter? Well does it? Yes and no, yes well no, umm I am not sure. Well if you haven't noticed I like blogging about what God has placed on my heart and in my mind. Sometimes the blog post come fast and sometimes my heart needs to be prepared to share.
This time it is about worship, does it matter the form in which we worship God? Aren't all churches the same, are not they all preaching salvation? Yes, some do. However some believe that there is more than one way to heaven. I am not focusing on these churches today, I am going to focus on the ones that believe that there is ONE way to heaven, that is through Christ, who died and was raised on the third day. Forgiving all sins for everyone that will believe.
Who are you worshiping? Like I said hopefully you are worshiping God the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. What are you worshiping, I pray it is not a what but God.
Where do you worship? Did you know there is more than one way to do it and more than one place you can go? Some enjoy and grow in a traditional Catholic Mass, yes I said CATHOLIC MASS. Why? are they not included in the "Christian" family? Because some of them go to church just on Christmas and Easter? Maybe because they have some many rules. Did you know that the basis of their Church is still the trinity? What about all the Baptist, Methodist and Lutherans etc. That only go to church on those two holidays too. I dare say that anyone that just chooses to go to a building "church" just twice a year is probably not really saved.
When do you worship? Is it on Sundays or Saturdays? Is it maybe in every step you take. I like to tell my children God takes time for you every moment of every day, I hope you will learn to do the same. Life, your very life in all you do should be a type of worship to God. Work, play, cleaning, cooking, helping, exercising all of it. Breath Him in and out.
Finally, how do you worship. Why, do people chose to or not to go to a place to worship God corporately? Because they like the way that church worships God. What if, a Catholic walked into mass only to find people dancing and waving flags as they were praising God? What is a Baptist walked into church on Sunday only to find it replaced with mass? Ridged and full of rules? Wouldn't that upset you if you were going some place for one type of worship just to be forced to accept another? Or fairly enough, my family was invited to a different church to celebrate their dedicating it to the LORD. It was beautiful worship services, it was also very, very different to what we are used to. But it was how they did it, in their church. That is very differently than being told to change or you reject Christ. Some actually enjoy old Hymns, some enjoy contemporary music, some enjoy mass, some even enjoy jumping and dancing in the pews. It isn't about the type of worship it is about the heart and who you are worshiping. Who, says you have to change the message or type of service you go to get something out of it? Maybe change doesn't need to be the style maybe it needs to be the heart. Bottom line though people are not going to go where they don't feel free to worship they way that brings them joy and glory to the Lord. I pray you will find just the right place. If you are seeking I pray God will lead you to the right home.
To build a family is to change a generation
What does that mean exactly? Have you ever watched some one build a house? The more time, detail and love the builder puts into the home, the more it can with stand. When he just hastily slops some walls up, slaps some shingles on, the more likely it is going to fall apart.
The more time, detail and love you put into a family the longer it will stand and change the way your children view family and life.
