Worship

What is worship?

Some people consider worship an activity; singing songs of praise, giving to the poor, volunteering for some service to humanity, taking care of the disadvantaged, etc. All of these kinds of things may be “expressions” of worship, but they fall short of defining it.

I particularly like Webster’s Dictionary, which says that worship is, “to honor with extravagant love and extreme submission.”

True worship, in other words, is defined by the priority we place on who God is in our lives and where God is on our list of priorities. True worship is a matter of the heart expressed through a lifestyle of an extravagant love for, and submission to, God.
