This is a toughie. I wonder if because we as Christians have put such an emphasis on the idea that “music+message=worship”; that sometimes worship only happens on Sundays inside of a building. It’s not a bad thing by any means, but can worship be more than this? If as Christians we are called to Love God and Love Neighbor, then maybe worship was meant to be outside of the church walls.
I know for me, sometimes I find myself watching a movie and find myself worshipping when I am challenged to think about what I believe in my faith. Other people are able to worship while hiking or biking (which is very common here in the northwest). Some people are able to worship in the company of other people.
This last weekend we had a BBQ Appreciation for the Childens ministry workers at RCC. What an amazing time for these volunteers to see how much not only parents, friends, and families appreciated them, but also the kids that they serve.
So where we worship just might be the place that we find ourselves in where we come to realize that God is truly with us and that we are working for His glory. Maybe where we worship shouldn’t be associated with physical place, but instead the meta-physical; rather, the concious realization that God is present and He is working through us.
Thoughts?
