i was reading through this powerpoint presentation, and it sorta reiterated what i knew, but seeing as i was never one who was good with words, i thought i'd jot them down.. so next time anyone asks "what is worship?" i'll be able to quote John Piper :)
1. “Strong affections for God, rooted in and shaped by the truth of Scripture – this is bone and marrow of biblical worship” (John Piper)
2. Worship in song must be a genuine extension from a lifestyle of worship
3. Every moment and every activity can be transformed into an act of worship
“Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.” (Colossians 3:23, NLT)
“Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life--and place it before God as an offering.” (Romans 12:1, Mssg)
“Let every detail in your lives--words, actions, whatever--be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way” (Colossians 3:17, Mssg)
