Worship as a Lifestyle

I believe that worship is not just another word for music on Sunday morning. It is not just an hour of our time on the weekend, either at a church or at a football game. I believe worship is a process, habit, lifestyle. Worship is how we choose to live in sacrifice to God (or to a god).
Some people are very structured in their time and lifestyle. Some people enjoy a more "hands off flow" to getting things done. Either way, when we surrender to a lifestyle of Worship to the Triune God, we don't always have a choice in the structure or flow. God knows us better then we know ourselves. He knows how to reach us through other people and He knows how to bring us to our knees so we can see Him more clearly.
Everyday we all have a choice in our lifestyle. Ask yourself, "what am I worshipping today?" And "what would I like to worship instead?"
Before my father passed away, he commented on a quote framed in my church office, it read, "if you want something you have never had, you must do something you have never done." That something just might be the Worship of the right God. Peace.

Unanswerable Questions

The other day I had a conversation with an incredible Pastor. He brought me coffee from Starbucks. He then began asking questions that I couldn't answer. Questions like, "why are you in seminary?" and "if you were to grow emotionally, what would that look like?"
First of all, excuse me,?... but, are you Jesus? Because in my experience only Jesus sits me down with a Mocha and asks me questions like this.
In retrospect, I decided that this pastor was so comfortable with who he was in Christ that he was offering me that opportunity - right then. Praise God for another chance to talk to him. I am looking forward to another Starbucks and a more prepared answers. At this point, I have nothing to loose and more of myself to gain..... (sweet!)
