who will we worship?

[Richard OFfill]

There is private worship and there is what we call corporate worship. Private worship is about me and God. Corporate worship is not about me and God it is about us and God. So much of the new praise music is “I” this or “I” that. I think a lot of the new music is beautiful and it touches my emotions, yet it would be better if instead of using the word “I” so much it would use the word “we”.

 I am not trying to be nitpicky, it is just that the society we live in is so much about me, myself, I, and mine." "The Bible refers to the church as the body of Christ. Strictly speaking, the church is not about me it is about us. Yet when I get there I must understand that my worship is about God not about me and that it is not just me who is worshiping but us.

 You will be understanding where I am coming from when you think about it. “I” is separateness, “We” is togetherness. The gospel meets us in separateness and brings us to togetherness.
