how do YOU define worship? VOTE!

Interesting evaluation, Dean, but I beg to differ.



I believe that worship comes on various levels. I don't propose to enumerate them as such, suffice it to say that it comes on the subconscious, conscious and deliberate levels.



Subconscious is = everything I do, I do in the name of the Lord - when I am kind and/or courteous to others, do my job diligently, it's not only because that's what I normally do but because I see the Jesus in others - this glorifies His Name;



Conscious is = that which I do to intentionally so if I give succour to those in need, visit a lonely or sick person, a prisoner, etc., etc., this is done in the Name of the Lord and therefore glorifies Him;



Deliberate is = when I worship Him with flags, or dance or song, when I praise His Holy Name in prayer during the meeting, or pray in tongues - that is my intention to lift up and magnify His Holy Name.



Sorry - this is a bit of a ramble - I didn't work it out beforehand, I just typed and it came. Maybe Spirit inspired!???? :twirl:



My final thought in support of this philosophy is that Jesus Himself said 'Love the Lord your God with all your <COLOR color="red">heart </COLOR>and with all your <COLOR color="red">soul </COLOR>and with all your <COLOR color="red">strength </COLOR>and with all your <COLOR color="red">mind</COLOR>.'
