468 I'm a Believer Now, What's Next? Worship

Down in the bone marrow of following Christ is worship. In this free style conversation Mark and I discuss the whys, whats, and what-abouts of worship. Is God a megalomaniac who created us to worship him because he has need? Is there some lack in God that worship fills for him? If not, what is the reason for worship? Along the same lines, how do we take and make our daily lives—our chores, our work, our relationships, and even our physical dwelling space—an act of worship to Christ Jesus? What is the difference between ritual and ritualism? Why do we need both spirit and truth, heart-felt sentiment and doctrinal accuracy? And then, when we are worshiping, does God's Spirit come and overpower us so that it's only him involved? Come think and laugh with me and Mark.
