Devotional by Dr. Keith Gomez; from Baptist Bread
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
A real church glorifies God. Most of the liberal churches in America glorify man in the flesh. You can tell by their music, their preaching, their dress, and their attitude. It has nothing to do with the spirit of God. It has everything to do with the fact that they are glorifying man. But the real church glorifies God.
Not only does a real church glorify God, but a real church worships God. We have been taught that we have worship services. The Word of God does not talk about a worship service. You'll find what we do described as a preaching service, but you'll not find a worship service. We come to worship. It is not a ritual. Worship is a "choice communion" with God. Worship in a real church is a wonderful thing. Worship is giving to God, not taking from God. When we worship God, we sing unto Him, and we sing His praises. A real church worships God.
The offering is another opportunity to worship God. It's a type of worship, and a real church worships God. When we pass the offering plate, it is an act of worship and it is right to do. I thank God that real churches are worshiping churches. A worshiping church will say "AMEN!" right there!
