"The term 'worship' means many things to many people. There is no single interpretation of the word that is common to more than one out of five adults in this country."

While this is a poll from 1994, it would be a good topic to discuss, especially nowadays with the increasing postmodernization of the church. I'd guess there is even less of a consensus on what worship is today in 2004.

So, what is wrship?

Let me throw out some thoughts:

First, I think of Romans 12:1, which says:

"Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to (present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship."

Then I think of the WSC: "The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever."

Do you think we don't have a unified view of worship because too many people don't derive their plans for worship from Scripture?

True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
