What is worship?
Worship is giving worth to someone or something, genuine worship is a wholehearted expression of wonder, adoration, love, admiration, celebration, and fascination. It is a great feeling that occurs in your soul as you start to worship God for his love and appreciate him for all he has done.
Most Christians today do not know the relevance of worship, true worship is more than singing, lifting hands, bowing heads, closing eyes, and smiling towards heaven. Worship is what connects the physical to the spiritual.

Have ever felt relieved when you worship God in truth and in spirit? Do you feel like a heavy load just fell off your chest? Well, that’s why worship is very valuable to Christians. It is a medium where we give all our troubles to God. He takes it, makes it all good, and then tells us what to do when we meet with him in worship.
That is the major reason why you shouldn’t take your worship for granted. It is the hedge we have over others. Anything that happens in the physical has already taken place in the spiritual. That is why as Christians, you need to be connected through worship so you can always receive direction and inspiration from God.
True worshippers never lack, they never fail, they understand that there are certain things that prayer cannot do for them but worship does instantly. Remember that God is looking for those that will worship him in spirit and in truth. No matter what they are going through, they know that as long as they are connected to the spiritual, they will stand out physically because when worship rises, blessings

  • Essay On Fanatical Religion

    1985 Words  | 8 Pages

    Many people have given their lives to further the growth of the Church throughout the world and indeed many have admitted that even if God Himself were to visit them and suggest Joseph Smith was not really His messenger, they would not believe him, but would rather believe in Joseph Smith. This type of fanatical belief is indicative of how this belief has grown and perhaps that it may well be considered in the realm of “cultism” as well as simple religion?

    As a kid I remember there used to be this unintentionally funny commercial that to do this day perplexes me. The commercial began with a montage of a happy family, baseball, cowboys on the range, military men and women, construction workers and various other images of "America". Everyone had a huge grin, and life couldn 't get any better than what you saw in this commercial. The funny thing about this clichéd filled 90 's commercial was that, for all its imagery, it was supposed to be for a once popular chain of buffet restaurants called Sizzler. Even the theme song was about how because "Sizzler is the choice of America", Sizzler is the place that "brings the choices".
