What do I Love?

Jesus, when asked by the pharisees which is the greatest commandment responds, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." Have you and I been loving the Lord with all of our hearts? If not, what things have we been loving and an important question, why have we been loving those things. The same battle that raged in the hearts of the Israelites is the same battle that rages in our hearts today: Who or what do we love the most; God or something else?

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" - Jesus Christ

Worship Matters

Worship Matters? Absolutely! To quote Bob Kauflin from his book Worship Matters, "Worship matters because God is ultimately worthy of worship. Secondly, we were created to worship. And third, those of us who are worship leaders have no greater privilege than leading others to God." But what does Jesus say about worship? In John 4, Jesus is talking with the woman at the well and He lets us know - God is seeking worshipers. Not only that, but He is seeking those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. Worship Matters! Who or what am I worshiping? That's the question I am asking myself each and every day.

QUOTE OF THE DAY - "Worship is communion with God in which believers, by grace, center their mind's attention and their heart's affection upon the Lord, humbly glorifying God in repsonse to His greatness and His Word." -Bruce H. Lefablad
