Well, today in church Greg talked about worship. About being undignified in our worship. Being free to express our love for the Lord. Not worrying about what others think and not trying to live up to some kinda Christian ideal, or go the other direction and being stagnent in our worship. That there is freedom in our church. Which there really is. That is one of the main things I love about my church is that there is freedom to be who we are in Christ. To follow as the spirit leads. So he talked about raising hands, kneeling, dancing, laying on the floor. All things that are mentioned in the Bible concerning worshipping the Lord. King David danced in the streets. And he wasn't concerned with anyone who had the thought that he wasn't acting like a king. He was praising his Lord.
I had some thoughts along this same line last week. When I was at church during worship last week there was a person behind me who was very vocal in their praising of the Lord. Saying things and during one song actually crying. At first I was a little annoyed. It was a distraction and I was trying to worship too. But then I realized how wrong I was. This person truly loved the Lord and was expressing that. And then I asked myself why I couldn't do that? Why was I so stagnent in my love for the Lord? It is a question that I am still trying to answer. Why am I so afraid of what people will think is really the bottom line. Why can't I be unhindered with my God.
So as you read this I want you to ask yourself what Greg asked all of us. First he said that demonstartive worship has nothing to do with your personality. Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert. It has to do with the overflow of your heart. So he mentioned that today was superbowl Sunday and he told us to watch how people and ourselves are when watching a football game and think why can we not express our love to the Lord of the universe, the God that saved us from eternal damnation the same way we express when someone makes a touchdown????
