Worship

One of the topics at the small group ministry meeting was 'worship' in small groups. As if meeting in Christ's name, praying together, reading and discussing and being affected by his word is not worship!

When we meet together, we do so as Paul sets out in 1 Corinthians 14:26, to 'edify' each other; and not 'worship' as a separate emotionalised experience transmuted into Hollywood's shallow language: that's what the Hillsong use seems to be. Worship is different, and far deeper; Paul again: Romans 12:1; it is the presentation of our bodies (our selves?) as a living sacrifice. That's worship!

Nevertheless, we were given a list of links for 'worship' resources. Maybe they mean praise, teaching or devotional resources?
