Great emphasis is placed upon the one hour on Sunday morning that we call our worship hour. Much of the importance attached to this hour of assembly as the Lord’s body is good. However, it is just one hour of the week. If the rest of the week is not lived worshipfully, then our liturgies on Sunday will be in vain.

Please read carefully: Isaiah 1:13, Isaiah 58, Amos 5:21, and 1 Corinthians 11:17. These passages clearly tell us that the acceptance of assembled worship depends upon living lives that adore, honor, glorify, praise, thank, and obey Jehovah our God as we serve others. This is reflected in how we live before others every day.

Such lives are a pleasant aroma to Him. Our Sunday morning worship is made authentic by how we treat others day to day. Without realizing it, worship becomes not just what we do, but who we are.

Many of the songs we sing have value only if they align with our thoughts and actions throughout the week. “We place You on the highest place, high above all else” clearly assumes we do this every waking hour, not just during the hour when we sing it together.

“What does God require but to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” — Micah 6:8

“The worship God wants is this: caring for orphans and widows who need help and keeping yourself free from the world’s influence. This is the kind of worship God accepts as pure and good.” — James 1:27 (Easy-to-Read Version)

These verses state very simply what God expects of us. While it is not always easy, it is God who has decided what is or is not acceptable worship of Him.

What is worship?
Worship is a way of life.
