True worship

True worship is an event and a process.

In a worship event, we gather to honor and revere Christ through certain patterns and traditions.

Robert Webber writes, "The focus of worship is not human experience, not a lecture, nor entertainment, but Jesus Christ - his life, death and resurrection."

The goal for our worship should not be that we come to the point when we do not see anyone or anything around us, but we become totally taken up with God. To only see the Lord.

That is the worship event.

Then there is the worship process. Simply stated, this refers to our discipleship - the maturation sequence in which we move from self-centeredness to Christ - Centeredness.

We must develop a life of worship, living in His presence, not just visiting on weekends. The Lord is looking for worshipers, not just worship."

Psalms 113:3, "From the rising of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised."
