Title: Worship
Worship is for God’s entertainment, and every person in the
congregation is a performer.
The church meets in a place of worship every first day of
the week to perform for God, never to just comfortably sit back as if watching
the greatest show on earth, never to merely enjoy a performance of songs and
talks delivered in theological jargon, for our enjoyment is in the presence of
the Lord and not on what’s transpiring onstage.
A believer also is there to reflect the Lord’s glory, and he
cannot hope to be lost in the number of the flock, unnoticed from the opening
prayer to the closing hymn because God sees only one soul in that auditorium:
his!
