Preping for a talk on Worship
Jake Rasmussen | July 11, 2008 | 4:07 pmWorship is a hard thing to define. It is personal and also very community based. But, in preperation for a talk I am giving at Epic Church this weekend I am floored about this topic.
I am having a hard time trying to filter my thoughts about what God desires to say to the community of Epic Church. One passage that I came to:
2 Samuel 6:21-22 (NIV)
21 David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel–I will celebrate before the Lord.
22 I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.”
This is NUTS to me. It would be like President Bush so enamered with the presenece of God that he just started worshiping God by ripping off his clothes.
That is what I want my life to look like. Not the naked part all that much, but the abandoment. That God is so important to me that I would do everything in my power to experience him more and to follow his commands. That is what I desire my life to be, my family to be and my church to be and my community to be.
