This is a question that has come to my mind latley, are we actually spending time with God, or just singing a bunch of songs?

What does worship mean to you?

Here are some things I’ve come up with, what do you think?

(by I, I mean things I have heard from those who I have been around ex. worship leader, friends, and pastors)

• Worship is recognizing who God is, and thanking him for what he has done
• It is an attempt to give Him the honor he deserves.
• Corporate worship is joining together with other believers and acknowledging the Lord and what he has done.
• Worship takes on many different forms. It is not limited to singing or lifting up of our hands. It can be sharing what God has been doing to encourage another believer etc.
• Worship is not a feeling. It is an attitude, but it is a learned attitude. There will be times that we should worship in which we don’t feel like doing so.
• It is not a time to bring attention to ourselves.
• John 4 - “God is spirit and his worshipers must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
• It is not enough to worship God on the outside. Our attitude must be right.
• Worshiping in truth is being honest when we worship. We are not just acting or doing things to please people.
• Our actions should be an accurate reflection of our heart.

If you don’t truly believe what you are singing or saying when you worship, it’s basically the same as closing you eyes and lying to God with all your heart!
