Agreed. And the true worship of God has never consisted of external religious devotions. It has always been a love for God manifested by righteous actions that both glorify God and serve Him in the concrete reality of the world.
How sad that you didn't read anything other than that one statement, which you also have taken out of context; I was showing the origin of worship only, and ignored all else that I wrote. I showed that true worship is BOTH narrowly defined as the corporate gathering of God's people, etc., and widely defined as the expression of obedience to God in all of life, which is actually one's "service" (Heb 12:1, 2) to God. The biblical evidence is incontrovertible that there is to be a corporate gathering of the people of God for the specific purpose of offering worship to God which consists of the reading/preaching of the Word, prayer, praise, song and offerings. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/igiveup.gif" alt="" />
