When you think about worship, most people think of singing. Singing is a form of worship but the reality is, Christians aren't the only ones who worship. Worship is a lifestyle! All of us worship something or someone whether you are aware of it or not. We worship God, but we also might worship money, friendships, relationships, sports, famous people, etc... The question to ask yourself is, do you worship created things over the Creator?
Worship is what you do, what you value, and where you spend your time. It's a heart issue. It is public action. It is how you do life. True worship is a life that honors God, doing everything to the best of your ability (Colossians 3:17). We worship when we obey. If you are going to be extreme about something, err on the side of obedience to God!
The New Testament explains 2 commands that wrap up how we should live. They are found in Matthew 22:37-39. Love God, Love People. I've heard people call the Bible a 'book of rules' but frankly that couldn't be more wrong. The Bible is not a rulebook. It's the anointed words of God about His amazing sacrifice through Jesus on our behalf. If we stopped focusing on the 'rules' and focused more on God, loving Him and loving people; your life would drastically change.
