Does It Matter How We Worship God?

[john832]

Yet,from every fellowship that is truly Christian,God will gather His Chosen Ones during His Secret Second Coming.It's all about where the Heart is.Even some of the hi-fi contemporary artists we might think are not worthy might go,if they were never into the circumstance that could give them Revelation to How Christianity should be applied to a person based on Holy Scripture in every ways of their life,be it eating,dressing,attitude etc.It's all about where the heart is.
So those who follow the bands than God will wind up in hell,even though these artists might get saved in the end.It's because they followed the band,and the band might have whole heartedly followed God.So instead of pointing finger or when you point finger Pray for them also.They are also God's and they should also get clear guidance to enter eternity in Heaven.When we point too much than Pray for them,we are becoming self proud.Need Holy Scripture verses? or too lazy to look?
Its' easy to wear all white and have 100% attendance in Church,known by everyone and never came to Christ but lived a life of exposing.True Christian life is lead by God's Grace,irrespective of appearance and show off.
That doesn't rule out modest and humble ways of life even in dressing, over hip-hop Christianity.But if those modest life styles are for showing off in public,and not done with Love of God its no use.
Tradition nor post modern/modern matters before God.God wants us to give our Hearts to him and follow Modest/Humble Christian doctrines and life style with Love.That's the simple truth.
Its not easy,but can be achieved by God's Grace.

In the only coming I have read about this is the case...

Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

It is a very narrow and straight road to the kingdom of Heaven. If you go too far with any rule, you get off the narrow path.

If you obey the law as the most important thing, you miss the road because we are to obey in spirit and truth, our salvation is a supernatural salvation that can only be given us by God, man can never do it for himself.

If you listen to your heart that you have given to Christ without checking your heart with scripture, you miss the road because the word of God must be included. The work of God includes law that we are to follow.

If you use your own reason instead of humbly accepting all of the words of the Lord, you lose the way for our thoughts are not God's thoughts.

If you do not use any reasoning that God gives you to use, you loose the way, also.

Of course it matters how we worship God. God is holy and he deserves the highest praise. People need to understand that dealing with God is serious. We must always come to God humble and respect him at all times. GOD don't play games. People need to make up their minds and stop wasting God's time. If you gonna be a christian then start acting like one. Don't be so involved with the things of this world that you forget to act like a christian. You won't be able to bring anyone to Christ if you acting just like the world. Here are some scriptures that will help you. There from the new king James version. 1john 2:15-17 do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. So if you a christian start acting like one. Thank you and have a nice day preacha24-7

Worship by DEFINITION means to kneel down and pray...

It doesn't matter how you kneel down, slowly or quickly, some are older than others.
If you are not kneeling down you are not worshipping, since that is what the word means.
There are no official denominations who worship God any more, they all have some excuse why they cannot worship God, they are worshipping themselves...
To worship God without persecution I have to home worship.

Hello lookuptoseeJesus
real truth will be sincere,wheather you are sitting down or standing,although it would, look strange if everyone sat during worship.

man looks at the outward appearance.I did that to my sister one time.I put a works mentality on her.she was sitting down when they started to worship and i told her to stand,so she stood up,but what if she only did it to please me,you see,i shouldn't have to tell her to stand,if it is sincere it would be a desire.

GOD looks at the heart
GOD bless you

We generally think of worship in terms of certain types of activities in which we engage at prescribed times. We participate collectively in a set of styalized forms of singing, praying, giving, and the Lord's supper and we refer to this as times of formal worship. Now, I certainly do not wish to make light of these activities nor do I wish to minimize the importance of our involvement in them. These things are not only approved of the Lord but are mandated by him as part of our corporate involvement with one another in worshiping God as the body collective. However, these activities are not intended to represent the full body of our worship experience. This is not the total framework of worship that we see in scripture.

Scripture calls us to a more expanded concept of worship than the simple engagement of ourselves in stylized activities. Worship demands of us a total surrender of the whole person. We must learn to redefine our concept of worship and allow worship to extend beyond the walls of the assembly. It must be allowed to permeate every area of our lives and our very being.

In Deut. 6:4-6 and Lk. 10:27, we find that worship involves the heart (this is the seat of emotion), the soul (the inner person, the true man), the might or strength (this is what governs one's actions), and our mind (this is the intellect). This leaves no part of the individual that is not connected to the Lord. But, what happens to a nation or the people of God when they begin to separate the idea of worship from the day-to-day activities of our lives? In Isa. 1, God tells Israel that because the worship of their lives (which is represented in the Burnt Offering sacrifice as the consecration of all that one is and all that one has) has become corrupt, wicked, unjust, and defiled, the worship of their offering and temple activities had become worthless. Consequently, God tells them not to bring these worthless things to him any longer.

Worship then, defines a lifestyle, not just a set of collective activities. Our entire lives must go up before God as "sweet smelling savor" or our participation in collective worship activities ceases to be worship and becomes a stench in the nostrals of God. So yes, it matters very much how we worship God.
