What we mean by “worship” today seems to have become a distraction …

From what God means by “worship” in the New Testament.

In the original language of the New Testament, the Greek words translated “worship” mean a lifestyle of Godly sacrificial obedience and reverence …

Not music or musical performances designed to press our feel-good buttons.

In fact, there’s not a single use of those Greek words in the New Testament, or in the context of the common vernacular of the day when the New Testament was written, which even hint at such a thing.

Nope, not, nada …

Just ain’t there.

I’m all for singing God’s praises together, but let’s leave behind the self-absorbed counterfeit “worship” that’s so common today …

And begin to actually worship God by living holy lives of obedience and reverence, as He defines it.
