Here's a Quote!  

Posted by Benjie in ,


I'm reading a book on church function by Gene Mims, and he just hit me with a quote that addresses the church's fuss about worship that has been going on for some years now. People have been so caught up in what good worship is that they forget what real worship is. I've even known people who have dissolved long standing friendships over the style of worship that one or the other likes. So here's what Mims has to say in The Kingdom-Focused Church:

"Worship styles are as varied as the cultures and the people that embrace them. The fact that we worship is more important than how we do it. The form of our praise, which changes, is a distant second to the purpose, which doesn't. That purpose is encountering God in worship and being changed by His presence."

That's a good book. I read it 3 years ago. Somehow I got a copy that thad "Not yet published" printed on the cover. Odd, but a very good book.

Excellent post. I think that so many of us get caught up in looking at outward actions, but God knows what's going on deep in the heart of man. And that's what He'll be judging us on.
