In this hour that changes everything, we will be invited to encounter beauty – divine beauty – and its potential to change lives. It is in worship that we seem most willing to celebrate the beauty of God’s love and grace experienced in the person of Jesus. It is in worship that we are most comfortable to celebrate Christ’s beauty reflected in the lives of our fellow worshipers.
To worship is to feed the mind with the truth of God. When our thoughts begin to resonate and find harmony with the mind of God, we are changed and we will change the world. When our minds begin to consistently connect with the truth and wisdom of God, we begin to celebrate that God is wise and true in all circumstances…and that we can be good and true in all things as well.
In a world that suffers from a crisis of conscience, authentic worship creates space for God’s holiness to confront us. When we are faced with a vision of God, we cannot help but see our own deep brokenness and our own glorious potential to be holy.
Worship is the hour that changes everything – our worldview comes into alignment with Jesus’ worldview as we become the kind of person who loves rightly – who loves God and neighbor and is oriented to the world by the primacy of that love.
