Everybody has a God and everyone worships something - Page 8

Indeed everyone worships something, or someone. God, devil, themselves. Actually worshipping yourself is the worst. A man left to himself and his own devices will destroy himself. At that point, even Satan does not have to tempt you anymore, God says that type of person will invent mischief with a progressive vain imaginations.

Also, regarding worship. According to the book of John Chapter 4, God is a spirit and those that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. In other words, worship is a spiritual act. Therefore the object of our worship is very important. Because it is a spiritual act is has spiritual benefits or consequences.

Again that is John 4. Jesus speaking to the Samaritan woman at the well.

Went to the Philippines to help a bit. So much cooler as a civilian. Did not see any troops, just a couple of foreignors on business trips, and then a few guys down there visiting their spouses hometowns.

That's cool man... That you were able to do that. It must have been a humble but rewarding experience.

This may sound like a stupid question but when you do work like that do you have to pick up the tab for air fare? The reason I ask is that I would like to do work like that from time to time when possible but simply can't afford the transportation costs on top of everything else here at home.

I really believe that you are a good man RM. Peace and God be with you...

Quote:

Worship is etymologically derived from Old English words meaning "worth-ship". Giving worth to something.[1] In its older sense in English of worthiness or respect (Anglo-Saxon,worthscripe), worship may on occasion refer to an attitude towards someone of immensely elevated social status, such as a lord or a monarch, or, more loosely, towards an individual, such as a hero or one's lover.

An expression of worship may be performed individually, or corporately within informal groups, or a formal meeting, or representatively, by a designated leader. Religious worship can occur in a variety of locations including houses, rented venues, out in the open, or in purpose-built structures identified as places of worship. Many religious traditions place an emphasis on regular worship and may organize meetings for the purpose at frequent intervals, often daily or weekly. Expressions of worship vary between faiths but typically include one or more of the following:
prayer; sacrifice; rituals; meditation; holidays, festivals; sacraments; pilgrimages; participatory or observed music or singing; dance; dining; fasting; public readings; listening to a public talk or sermon; the construction of temples or shrines; the creation of idols of the deity; private acts of devotion.

Usually yes, I would get the tab on everything, but sometimes people sponsor missionairies and you don't pay for anything.. some churches actually use the mission fund that people give to every Sunday...LOL.

But the hard corps work is out in the sticks, reaching people where they are. Also, very amazingly lots of miracles and such take place on in places not so privileged as ours. It has always been that way. People's heart are more receptive to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and so God shows up does the miraculous. Here, and other 1st world countries, we are so used to making excuses why we don't need God, and talking about hypocrites all day, etc etc etc... so blesses people elsewhere far more than with us here.

Does "praying to the porcelain God" count as worship?
