Louie on "Real" Worship



Louie’s Definition of worship
“Worship is a full life response to the greatness and the grace of God”

Marks of True Worship (Romans 12:1-2)

1. Is God happy? – A preoccupation for God’s happiness
At the end of the day – worship for God (pleasing to God) in Romans 12:2
God decides if the worship is acceptable or not

2.Is there an aroma? – An acceptable offering of worship that is pleasing to God
Jesus offered himself as a fragrant aroma, an acceptable offering
This is our spiritual act of worship
Are we more concerned if they like it or if we like it, instead of wondering if it was a sweet sweet sound in his ear
Here’s the question – God, did you like it?
We don’t ask, ‘cause we’re afraid of the answer
Sometimes we need to stop singing, put our hands down and repent

3. Has it reached the least of these? – The mark of demonstration
Is worship still a meal for you?
Or is it fuel for missions?
It is trickling down to the least of these?
