God wants us to love him thoughtfully – with our mind.

Because the world we live in is full of influences that would shape the way we think—and consequently how we act and live—we need more rigorous discipline to be Christians and thinking people…JP Moreland

God wants us to love him passionately—with all our heart and soul.

God wants us to love him practically—with all our strength

* He doesn’t have our attention unless we give it to Him. That’s loving God with our mind.

* He doesn’t have our affection unless we give it to Him. That’s loving God with our heart and soul.

* He doesn’t have our abilities unless we give them to Him. That’s loving God with our strength.

Worship is focusing my attention on God.

Romans 8:7 says,

“Focusing on yourself is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God and ends up thinking more about self than God,” (The Message).

Romans 12:2 admonishes us,

“Don’t become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God.”

We can focus on God by establishing a daily time with him

We can focus on God by developing a constant conversation with him

Worship is also expressing my affection to God.

We can give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.

Worship is using my abilities for God’s purposes.

“Whatever I’m doing, I’m doing it for You.”
