We Should Be Striving On A Daily Basis To Worship ...
Contributed by Mark Thometz on Aug 27, 2012 (message contributor)
We should be striving on a daily basis to worship God in new, loving and exciting ways. It's very easy to become comfortable in our worship. We have that thing on Sunday and sometimes Wednesday and we may even dust off our Bible every now and then to read it. What about feeding the hungry as worship? What about helping a neighbor move as worship? What about sharing Jesus with someone that really needs that hope that only He can supply? What about life?
My uncle, Mark Kent, is one of the greatest examples of this lived out. He is the senior minister at my home church and I can honestly say that everywhere he goes, he is personable and open with people. Employees at the Starbucks near his house know him just by his voice. They know where he works and what his “usual” is. He will invite to Sunday morning virtually every time he stops by. The best part is, even though they typically don't come, they still like him and enjoy when he stops by. My uncle is being a strong example of Christ to them.
