Are You Insulting God?

In this article the author asks the question what does it really mean to worship FOR God. I personally think this article came across this at an angle that could have been pursued better. Anyhow this article asks what it really means to worship for God and then asked a follow up question of "Are we worshiping God because we think he needs it?" It then explains how God doesn't need our worship, He wants it. I think that's a really cool concept.
This ties in with Gods unfathomable love for us. He doesn't need us in His family, He WANTS us. God doesn't need our praise, He WANTS it cause in the end its actually so we can see how amazing His love is for us.

Get Off the Platform

In this article the author tells us about how we should lead worship. He tells us how as humans we are naturally selfish in a way. We get so focused on if we are the best in the band or how perfect we wanna sound we forget the real purpose of our music. To glorify God. Worship isn't always about being on stage singing or playing an instrument, in fact sometimes the best form of worship is the one we do silently. ex; praying for those around you, just smiling and being humble, sharing love to others, etc.
I liked this article because it reminded me that I shouldn't just be focusing on worship when its chapel time. I should be "stepping off the platform" and worshiping God in everything I do in my day to day life.
