“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” (John 4:23).
“Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you” (Deuteronomy 6:12).
If God is God, God is to be worshiped.
If you are a follower of God, you worship God.
This is not a conditional statement. This is a fact. Worshiping God is what you do if you are a Christian. If you do not worship God, and keep the Sabbath day holy, you are not a Christian.
Worship is not one of the many options we have for the weekend. Worship is a non-negotiable command of the creator of the universe.
We worship, not because God needs our worship, but because we need to worship. Worship is the one thing we do on a weekly basis that reminds us who we are because of who God is. There are so many things that get our attention. And when we do not worship on a regular basis, we become focused on the world around us. And we forget that God is God. We forget that God is sovereign. That all of history is marching toward God’s will. Nothing happening in the world is outside God’s will and control.
We need a time once a week where we encounter the holy, living, sovereign, almighty God. We need to be reminded of God’s sovereign will. We need to recalibrate our minds, thoughts, hearts, and ourselves to remember who God is. It is only as we see God that we can begin to see everything else in its proper perspective.
Not only will you not grow as a Christian if you do not make worship a non-negotiable command of God, you simply are not a follower of God.
The best way is to show up in God’s house to worship God on Sunday mornings. There is nothing like gathering with the worshiping community. If that is not possible, you can worship online. It is available every week on our web page and on YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@lcoplg
To get growing get consistent with worship.
