Worship

When we think of worship, typically we tend to focus on corporate worship at church.  What about the remainder of our service to God.  Biblical principles teach us to live our lives in service to others and worship and praise to our God.......not just at church time.  Romans 12:1 reminds us of this:  Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. We are to use this earthly shell/body as a 'living sacrifice' to our God.  We are to live holy (not perfect) and acceptable too--all this encompasses our worship----a spiritual worship/relationship with our Creator. 
While I'm quite certain there will be varying opinions and interpretations on what exactly this means to our individual daily lives, the principles should be harmoniously clear.

All that we say and do--All of the time:                                                                                    "Living"--a continuous, growing, maturing, life long process
"Sacrifice"-- a selfless/serving others/ Christ focused
"Holy"-- Christ like actions/attitude

A daily journey, a life-long maturing faith.......a perpetual pursuit of that true and proper worship.  Blessings in your pursuit......TO
