Worship has nothing to do with singing, though we can worship our hearts out when we sing. Worship has nothing to do with praying, though we can worship deeply when we pray. Worship has nothing to do with giving, though we can worship sincerely when we pray. Worship has nothing to do with studying, though we can worship intimately when we study. Worship has everything to do with God. Worship needs an object. An item to be worshiped. In the case of the God-fearing Believer, that object ... Read More

The Set Up: For a few months we've been in the process of readying a new facility for our church offices and rehearsal space. We're a mobile church so the location we use for Sunday gatherings (movie theater) isn't available to hold rehearsals in. Our present facility is only business licensed for office use (can't have anything other than office type stuff in it so says the city), so we've been meeting at a small vintage clothing store/cafe for the last few ...
