First, we must identify the real issue, for if we ask the wrong questions, we will likely get the wrong answers. For this article, the issue is worship. Consider three aspects of worship. Worship may be expressed in a variety of ways, but worship begins with an attitude. When a worshipful attitude is absent, no worship can occur.
Worship is self-emptying.
Worship looks around. Worship is not for God, but for us. Worship expresses mutuality. Worship celebrates our community. In worship the gathered people of God declare their unity and God s presence.
