Modern fundamental believers are missing a key component to their faith. For the most part we are replacing worship with religious acts and service. NOTHING replaces the adoration and worship of God. The Almighty will accept nothing in the place of our being overwhelmed with the person of our Saviour.
I know the Lord Jesus taught the people. He sat them down in fifties and hundreds, taught them and fed them, both spiritually and physically. But the most profound portions of Scripture in the Gospel books to me are those that tell of the worship people had for Jesus. Mary the sister of Lazarus, the many others Jesus helped, healed and restored are certain examples of individuals overwhelmed to a state of outpouring.
We are not as demonstrative about our worship as we used to be. If there is actual worship going on, we do not seem to be as vocal about it. Tomorrow I will stand in the pulpit God has placed me in, and once again try to preach a message from God's Word to exalt and glorify Jesus Christ amidst the distractions of unruly children and complacent adults.
