Worship In Every Place And TIme

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 
                                                                       (John 4:20-23 KJV)

Yes, of course, we gather with our brothers and sisters in Christ at least once a week to worship our Father, the creator and redeemer of the world. However, worship of our God should never end when we leave the church building. We continue to worship him daily and hourly. Living life reconciled to God and loving him is a way of life. It is not something we routinely do just out of tradition. It is something we do because we love the one who loves us enough to live, to die, and to live again for us. 

We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)

Worship takes place in more places than the sanctuary of a building because he is in every place that we are. We ought to live life like he actually matters to us. Let everything that we say and do in every time and place be acts of praise and worship glorifying our God who loves us.

God's Peace - Pr. J.
