The purpose of this blog is to open a dialogue among friends about our faith(s). My hope is that this will help us understand each other better and be edified together. While I am not opposed to confronting our beliefs and understanding of doctrine, I think the main purpose of this blog should be to share rather than to confront or to convince. May that sharing strengthen our friendship, enlighten our minds and bring us each closer to God.

What is worship?
We read in the scriptures that we should "worship the Father in spirit and in truth" (John 4:23). What does that mean? My church is pretty conservative in a lot of ways, and our services are generally quite restrained. I know that some of your church functions are markedly different than mine. As I've attended worship services in a variety of churches, I've been surprised at the different ideas about what all worship entails. What are your thoughts? What does it mean to worship God and how should we do it?

One quick thought: Acts 17:25 suggests that God doesn't need us to worship Him; rather, our worship of God benefits us.
