Worship is...

"Worship is separating the world from God in different ways, just to be in awe of Him."-J.P. 

1) Worship is living by continuously making the choice to focus on God rather than the world
2)Worship is not just singing, preaching, painting, or dancing it happens in tons of different ways as we turn every simple act of life into an act of worship
3)True worship has no hidden motives, it is simply done so that we may be in awe of God, a gift that we can return to him for all he has done for us.  Its a sign of respect and adoration, all we can do is be in awe of the majestic God because He is so overwhelmingly great.

I think its cool how things come so naturally to those who really do have the childlike faith the Bible talks about.  I asked a friend to define worship for me and he just told me what he feels. Thats cool.  God is giving us all revelations of himself, and the faith we live out and we've got to be willing to open up and share.  It saddens me to think how Bible college changes things for so many people.  Rather than Christianity being your passion and joy, it becomes your work and a religion to study.  Students minds are filled with the thoughts of "theological greats" and you are turned into a copy cat rather than a passionate follower of Jesus who isn't afraid  to express what God is personally showing you about a matter.
