Living intentionally in the presence of God

Dr. Bill Rudd Blog 1 0

“Worshipping together” is what Jesus’ followers do every Sunday — prioritizing coming together with other Christians to celebrate God–who He is, what He has done, and what He will do–as well as to encourage and help each other. “Worshiping alone” is what Jesus’ followers do all week: living intentionally in the presence of God by (1) setting times to talk to God (prayer) and listen to God (Bible reading), (2) maintaining a running conversation with God, (3) meditating on Scripture, (4) nurturing a habit of grateful thanksgiving and praise, and (5) choosing to say and do only those things they would say and do if Jesus were physically visible beside them. To worship together but not alone promotes shallowness. To worship alone but not together promotes selfishness. God is worthy of worship and genuine worship transforms the worshiper to become more like God.
