Actually the Bible is very clear that we are designed to worship. I love this quote from Louie Giglio's book, The Air I Breath: “You my friend are a worshiper! Everyday, all day long, in every place you worship. It’s what you do. It’s who you are. You cannot help but worship something. It’s what you were made to do. Should you for some reason choose not to give God what He desires, you’ll worship anyway - simply exchanging the Creator for something He has created. Worship happens everywhere all day long. We all worship something all the time.”
As I discussed in our last sermon series, The Physics of Faith, everyone has faith in something. You either have faith in an Intelligent Designer or your have faith in random chance. It is not a question of whether you have faith. The question is, "What do you have faith in?"
The same is true about worship. The question is not "Are you a worshiper?" The question is, "What do you worship?" From a Biblical perspective, we may not worship the right thing, we may not worship the right way, but make no mistake about it, we all worship something!
This week, as we begin our study entitled Wired to Worship, we are going to dig into the experiences of the people of Israel while on the Exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land. As we look specifically at Exodus 32, we will be exploring the vacuum that occurs when we fail to worship God, the enthusiasm that should be involved in our worship, and the only two results that can occur when we receive a blessing from God. I hope you will join me everyday for this fascinating story.
