There are a lot of great definitions for worship, but this is one that I think is particularly good that comes from Gerritt Gustafson’s book, The Adventure of Worship.
He says:
Worship is the act and attitude of wholeheartedly giving yourself to God–heart, soul, mind and body.
This video helps the viewer define worship and explores the biblical basis of self-giving and wholehearted worship.
After watching the video, take a few moments for personal introspection:
- How often do you come to worship and merely go through the motions without any heart?
- Is your worship sacrificial, or do you concern yourself more with what people around you think?
Take some time to consider these questions.
