A Series of posts on Worship: Worship in church

16 Apr

Worship in church is an incredibly broad and sweeping topic – so I’ll get right to it.
Our worship services are ALL about WORSHIP – every part of them being an act or an opportunity to WORSHIP. Nothing is exempt. If it IS exempt in your mind, or in the mind of your pastor or denomination, then you have the right to ask them why it isn’t an act-of or opportunity-to worship. If they can justify that it isn’t worship – they also need up justify it’s place in that service.

If it’s not worship & not justifiable – you’ve got to wonder why it’s there? Here’s an example I wrestle with. Read the rest of this entry »

A Series of Posts on Worship: Worship as life style

16 Apr

Worship is pretty neat thing. Something we rarely acknowledge is that it isn’t completely segregated to 1 hr on Sunday or a particular music style. Worship is BIGGER. Much bigger.

If you’ve read my blog before you will know that I feel strongly about this and that I have written about this before. Romans 12 is great passage of God’s Word that really nets it out in plain English. I’m not going delve into the “the Bible says…” thing here – you can read my previous posts on this topic

While correcting your kid? While having a special “date night” with your spouse? While sweeping/laundry/cleaning toilets/cutting grass/shoveling snow etc etc etc etc ??? How can you worship in these situations we find ourselves in day to day? Read the rest of this entry »

Dr appointments Pt 2, or 3….

06 Apr

So, my youngest son has been waiting for a follow-up appointment at Sick Kids in Toronto. It was cancelled while we were Enroute to TO for that appointment. That is the 2nd time we’ve had this specialist need to cancel us the morning of – yep, twice in 6 months. I really like, respect and value this specialist – but I guess I am I still wondering if doctors are allowed to “be sick”? Read the rest of this entry »

Lent: I am now starting to really Crave

22 Mar

So, a full 2 weeks in I am now really starting to crave the things I gave up – sweets. I am starting to see some benefits both spiritually and physically. So, on the one hand I’m glad but on the other hand I’m really starting to notice how great even a Hot Chocolate smells. Why do I observe Lent? Read the rest of this entry »

Prayer: Do you do it?

21 Mar

I love prayer. Why? Well, to be perfectly honest, I need to be connected with God. But, to continue my honesty, I find it tough to pray as often as I should. There is always a really big list of things to pray about – how do I possibly find time to pray for ALL of it? Truth: I don’t. I merely approach prayer in an organized fashion. Here is an un-official Top 10 Things to Practice In Prayer: Read the rest of this entry »
