worship

Over the course of my life I have been in a lot of worship bands in many different churches. I have played for Christian Fellowship Church, Cross Current, Leesburg Baptist Church, Evangelical Covenant Church, Faith Community Church, Woodman Valley Chapel, and most recent The Gathering. I have found that when we talk about worship the first thing that people think of is music on Sunday mornings. Worship is so much more than that. Worship is a lifestyle that we choose to live. We have worship music because it helps us wrap our minds around what worship is. Worship is giving your whole being to something. The Church began singing and playing music because people wanted to use the musical talents God had given them to worship Him. Plus we know that God likes music because we see in the bible were the angles sing and play music in God's presence for Him. But we can worship God with so much more than just music. We can worship with our time, our money, friendships...whatever talents God has given you. Many years ago the church didn't have music in their services, they worshiped in different ways. I wonder what that would look like today if we stopped using music and began worship by serving each other, showing love and compassion on people. I think what we would see would be unreal.

P.S. The coldest recorded temperature is -128.6F. That was at Vostok Station in Antarctica during the SUMMER of 1983.
