Worship is a response.  It is a response to who God is and what He has done.  This response can come from a number of different outlets because the vastness to what worship involves is huge.  We cannot put worship in a box or limit its boundaries to music or church services or praying or anything else.  This response must be a response that is connected to everything we do, with every aspect of our lives.  We fully respond to God with the entirety of our lives.  It’s something we grow in, and it’s something we work at.  It’s not a feeling, nor does it find itself in our emotions, although worship may have an effect on such things.  It’s how we love God, and how we love our neighbors.  Worship is diverse, innovative, creative, sacrificial and relevant.  It is private and corporate.  It encompasses both old and new, planning and spontaneity, mystery and rationality, vertical and horizontal, suffering and comfort, freedom and discipline.  It is rooted in truth that teaches and provokes a response.
