Worship is a discipline. Showing up is a discipline. Actively participating in worship is a discipline. Proper focus while one is worshiping is a discipline. Offering appropriate service to ones neighbor during worship is a discipline. Worship is a discipline.
On many Sundays I just show up for worship. My mind is on my role. My thoughts are on getting ready for the morning's service. Rarely do I really worship on Sunday.
I was told of a staff in Kansas that required each of its ministers to take a Sunday off a month to attend another church for worship. I thought that sounded a bit extravagant. After 20 years of ministry, I now understand why they followed this strange practice. In my experience, ministers often serve but rarely worship.
Join me as we learn more about the discipline of worship.
