TRUE WORSHIP

Here's some pictures of our worship service at BNC. I'm so glad I got to be a part of that!!
     We were made to worship God and only God. And worship is not a bunch of songs played on a piano and guitar that you can sing to. Worship is something lived out in your everyday life; it's giving, serving, loving, etc. And don't get me wrong - praise and singing is without a doubt worship, but it's not the only element. In Psalm 100:2, it says, "Worship the lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs." God also wants our worship to always be sincere. John 4:23 says, "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." I remember my parents telling us when we were a little younger, "Don't just SAY you love us, SHOW that you do!!" It's the same with our relationship with God!! Anybody can go to church and sing a bunch of songs, but it takes more - it takes living it out. It takes SERVING him with your whole heart and GIVING with a good attitude 24/7!! When I first started living the way God wanted me to live (I still have a lot to work on and I always will, but anyway), my worship at church got WAY better!! Something I always have to remember, is that when I worship through singing, I can't worry about what the people around me might think - its all about God. A hard part for me, is that I love to be on stage, and I have been up there many times (I know some of you are shocked because I'm quiet, but I'm telling you the truth. haha). But when you walk on the stage, God walks off. I always have to remember this - and not just when I'm on stage, but everyday. One of the fun parts, is being creative in different ways to worship God. (I'm not going to give you any ideas, because I highly encourage you to come up with some of your own! =) And remember GIVE, LOVE, and SERVE!!
