Worship

admin — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:53:26 +0000

True biblical worship so satisfies our total personality that we don’t have
to shop around for man-made substitutes. William Temple made this clear in his
masterful definition of worship:

For worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening
of conscience by His holiness; the nourishment of mind with His truth; the
purifying of imagination by His beauty; the opening of the heart to His love;
the surrender of will to His purpose — and all of this gathered up in
adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable and
therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin
and the source of all actual sin.

Nelson Publishers, 1991, p. 119.

Motivation

Marguerite Bro tells of a minister who took his little child to a circus. She
writes,

“The clowns were particularly good and the last one of them was a little
fellow wearing a very wonderful high hat. While he was bowing elaborately to a
dignified woman, his hat fell off and an elephant sat on it.

“The clown gestured wildly at the elephant, but the beast sat still. He waved
and shouted again and again, but the elephant never budged. Angrily the clown
stepped behind the elephant and kicked with all his strength, and hopped away
with a sore foot in his hands.

“Then, frantic with anger, the little clown turned back to the elephant and
tried to lift him off the hat. Defeated and in complete despair, the clown sat
down and started to eat peanuts. The elephant was interested in peanuts and got
up, ambled over, and begged for one!”

That was a powerful illustration for that minister. He realized that he’d
just witnessed a spiritual object lesson: You can’t accomplish anything for God
by crabbing and kicking at the world (or your spouse, child, neighbor or
co-worker!).

Riches in Christ

“I have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more
I wish I could give them and that is faith in Jesus Christ. If they had that and
I had not given them a single shilling, they would have been rich; and if they
had not that, and I had given them all the world, they would be poor
indeed.”

Patrick Henry.

Encouragement

Jean Nidetch, a 214 pound homemaker desperate to lose weight, went to the New
York City Department of Health, where she was given a diet devised by Dr. Norman
Jolliffe. Two months later, discouraged about the 50 plus pounds still to go,
she invited six overweight friends home to share the diet and talk about how to
stay on it. Today, 28 years later, one million members attend 250,000 Weight
Watchers meetings in 24 countries every week. Why was Nidetch able to help
people take control of their lives? To answer that, she tells a story. When she
was a teen-ager, she used to cross a park where she saw mothers gossiping while
the toddlers sat on their swings, with no one to push them. “I’d give them a
push,” says Nidetch. “And you know what happens when you push a kid on a swing?
Pretty soon he’s pumping, doing it himself. That’s what my role in life is–I’m
there to give others a push.”

The most important decision

The most important decision in life is the decision to say “yes” to God and receive His Son as your Lord and Savior. Have you done this?
