Especially applicable as we consider worship wars. Yes, I worship more freely and from the heart with styles that I am familiar and comfortable with, however when I deem worship as inappropriate because it's not my style, I have set myself up as a god. The worship goes to the King of kings, not to me. Blessings, Karen Good thoughts on pleasing God. Especially applicable as we consider worship wars.

I think it is a factor and His comment on the "upsidednowness" of this world. Great illustration that the heart is all that matters, outward trappings not worth a hoot. A thought on how "pleased" we are with the assembly's worship: when we meet the Son of God, His sacrifice, His meekness, His willingness to forgive, it has always amazed me that folks don't break the doors down to get to the One who said, "Come unto me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest..." It's the best offer this world will ever know. May God continue to bless you as you serve Him so faithfully. Love in Jesus, Aline Edson, Westover Hills, circa 1997 Good morning, Phil–
