Worship -It is about God, not about you

John R. W. Stot writes on worship (Christian Basics, Eerdmans, 1969, p.119).

This is worship. It is…to revel in the unique wonder of who God is and has revealed himself to be…In true worship we turn the searchlight of our mind and heart upon God and temporarily forget about our troublesome and usually intrusive selves. We marvel at the beauties and intricacies of God's creation. We "survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died." We are taken upwith God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus taught us to do this in the Lord's Prayer, whose first three sentences focus not on our needs but on his glory, on the honoring of his name, the spread of his kingdom and the doing of his will. Because we are normally so turned in on ourselves, we will not find this easy. But we have to persevere, since nothing is more right or more important.

Worship is to God. We are in the presence of God. God’s eyes are on us.

(Eph 5:19-20) Speak to another and make melodies to the Lord

Worship is for God. It is for his pleasure. We cannot worship God anyway we want to.

Miriam stepped up this semester as a worship leader. She said to the praise band members, "We worship God so come to worship God."

What is worship for?

Congregations? Unbelievers? Pastors? But worship God.

Below video is the U of I UBF chapter -Deeper Roots in Christ praise band helping us to worship God. We value their service for the Spring semester. Pray for them to grow as worshipers of God
