Worship Song of the Day: The Heart of Worship by Matt Redman

Well hello again. I obviously took a couple month hiatus from writing. Life gets busy from time to time and I was trying to focus on other things but I am back. I am super excited to share with you again. The thing that has me excited and what I want to share about today is our new series at church called Core.

Over the next few months our church is going to be focusing on the Core of who God is and why we believe what we believe. One of things that struck me in Pastor David's first sermon was that we somehow think we can create God. All too often we have a picture of who we think God is in our lives. Some people prefer to see God as an old father time, or perhaps you see him as mainly an encourager. There are many things God is but all too often we tend to focus on a particular aspect of God and neglect the rest. When we do this we are creating our own Idol. The whole of who God is can only be found in his word.

This connects with our worship song of the day as well. Going back to the heart of worship is more than just how you feel or communicate with God, it is also worshiping him in spirit and truth. How can any of us reach that goal of worshiping in both spirit and truth when we don't read his word and don't know what the bible says about who God is. Would you step out on a limb with me and commit for the next week to read your bible for at least 15 minutes a day. As Pastor David said if you think you don't have 15 minutes to spend ask yourself how much TV you watch? The interesting statistic there is that the average person will watch 9 years of TV in their lifetime. If you truly have a problem finding 15 minutes to read the Bible then your doing too many things in your life right now. How can God ever be a priority in our lives if we can't even spend 15 minutes reading his word?

So lets get reading. I will talk to you all tomorrow. Be blessed and continue praising our great God in heaven.

In Him,
Brian
