Passionate Worship

What's the point of worship?

Several years ago, there was a book by the author Marva Dawn entitled "A Royal Waste of Time -- The Splendor of Worshiping God and Being Church for the World". The author had heard people questioning worship as a waste of time; her response was to say, "Maybe, but I'm 'wasting time' together with the King of the Universe, and that makes it a 'royal' waste of time!"

I am completely with Dr. Schnase's main idea in this chapter, that worship expresses our love for God. People in love sometimes do 'waste' a lot of time together, and the secret is that time really isn't wasted at all. It's time for the relationship to grow and deepen.

And don't forget the adjective -- PASSIONATE worship. I said yesterday that passion to me involves connecting the head and the heart.

What about worship touches your soul and engages your passion the most?
