Last week was an awesome week of worship for me. Let me clarify, I was able to worship my God through music on several occasions. On Monday night, I went to a concert of my friends, The Never Setting Suns, who opened for The Whigs at the Mad Hatter in Covington. I love listening to the Suns because while very few people realize it, their songs are ladened with the gospel, dripping in grace. And I would define them as the opposite of K-Love.
On Tuesday, I got to play at a city worship event. We do this event monthly and several Christians from various local church bodies come out to worship. Then, on Saturday night, I got to go to a Crowder concert. It was fantastic! I worshipped my guts out! When you leave a concert having sung at the top of your lungs and danced til your dripping in sweat, it is a good night. But what I really love about Crowder is that they are not seeking worship of themselves. They always have the lyrics up on the screen, which draws attention off of them and allows people to give glory to God. I love that.
People are worshipers. We worship many, many things. It’s not a matter of whether or not you have faith. There are people who worship sex. There are people who worship fame. There are people who worship appearance. There are people who worship sports. Next UFC fight, go to your local beer and wings joint and see all the people with their MMA equipment and apparel. It’s clear. I watched the Bengals game yesterday with some friends on a porch. We were eating game food, smoking a nice Rocky Patel sun grown. It’s easy to place these things or anything above the only one who deserves our worship.
So, how do we live as Christians? Perspective. We don’t deny the good things that God has made, but give proper thanks to our good God. Worship is a part of who we are. Who or what are you worshipping today?
Oh…I like DCB.
