love of worship

If you read my previous post, you might get the idea that I was bashing the idea of worship altogether. I was somewhat, but not entirely. What I take issue with are the modern, stereotypical images and definitions of worship. The idea that worship is gathering to sing, read scripture, hear a lesson (perhaps with the tang of guilt), take part of communion, sing some more, pray a couple times, and then go home. To me that is not worship, it is tradition, ceremony and in some cases a feeling that you are punching the clock.

My friend has a great elaboration on the kind of worship I look for, which coincidentally was posted just a few days after my musing.

Worship for the Sake of the World

Enjoy!
