Worship is More than a Song -Ross King

I don't think it's a bad thing at all that worship and music go together; I want to see the term worship applied to other things such as having a conversation with someone, painting a house as a service, reading a book, and tons of other things that can be done to the glory of God. I remember once one of my Dnow girls told me she wanted to be a Christian, but the thought of standing around worshipping God for the rest of eternity in heaven seemed boring. I knew what she was getting at, but kinda turned the question around on her asking if worship is just something that happens when music is playing. She completely got it as soon as I asked that. Then we talked about how awesome it is that almost ANYTHING can be worship, if it is done for God, in praise of God, or to further His name and glory. How awesome is that!? Worship is unlimited. If you are reading this right now, please! break out of the mold that says worship is music. Worship can be alot more than music...and what a gift that is!! The very next thing you do could be worship to God.
