True Worshippers

True Worshippers
Jesus said,
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.  
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24.
Are you a true worshipper? Do you truly worship God in spirit and in truth? These are questions only you can answer.
God in the book of Exodus states,
“You shall have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3.
In the book of Joshua we read,
“Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.   Joshua 24:14.
If we consider ourselves true followers of Christ Jesus, we must examine our lives and ask ourselves in no uncertain terms if we are truly worshipping God in spirit and in truth.
We must ask ourselves the question am I putting anything or anyone ahead of God? We must ask, Am I mixing my faith with anything else, politics, philosophy, anything?
So my questions to you the reader are,
Do you put anything ahead of God?
Are you mixing your belief in God with anything?
Are you truly worshipping God in spirit and in truth?
Please think about it.

Shout to The LORD

Shout to The LORD
The Psalmist wrote,
“Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 
Worship the LORD with gladness; 
come before him with joyful songs. 
Know that the LORD is God. 
It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, 
the sheep of his pasture. 
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
 give thanks to him and praise his name. 
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; 
his faithfulness continues through all generations.” 
                                                                          Psalm 100
Do you shout for joy to the Lord? Do you worship the Lord with gladness? Do you sing joyful songs?
There are church congregations and Christians that I’ve been around that make it seem like coming to church is a dreary experience. They lack life. This should not be. The Psalmist tells us,
“Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 
Worship the LORD with gladness; 
come before him with joyful songs. 
Psalm 150 tells us.
“Praise God in his sanctuary;
 praise him in his mighty heavens. 
Praise him for his acts of power; 
praise him for his surpassing greatness. 
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, 
praise him with the harp and lyre, 
praise him with tambourine and dancing, 
praise him with the strings and flute, 
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
 praise him with resounding cymbals. 
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. 
Praise the LORD.” 
                           Psalm 150.
Thus the question becomes, if you claim to be a Christian how do you worship The Lord?
Please think about it.
