Blaine Rogers @Mark 11:15-19 Day 5 The Lord wants us to know that He is not playing games. His business is serious business. His people ought to realize this. The whole issue in the Temple was ultimately a problem of the heart. The Jews had abandoned authentic worship and pursued those things that suited them. The problem in the modern church is often the same. Most people have abandoned authentic, spiritual worship for something more convenient; for something of their own making! All the while, authentic worship is exactly what we need to strive for in the church. When the Word of God is read, we should hang on every word, seeking to absorb it all. When we sing we should open our mouths and sing. When we listen to singing, we should seek to find God in the words. When we hear preaching, we should seek God’s message for our life. When we pray it should become a corporate event, as we attach our “Amen” to the words of the prayer being prayed. William Temple defined worship this way, “To quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to fill the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.” What say you?
