Is There Something Missing?
Is there something missing in our worship? We are becoming increasingly aware that it is not enough for our worship to be vertical to God! True worship has to be horizontal also—helping others as an act of worship to God! If we are not moving with God’s heart of compassion, how can we represent Him? Love takes action! Love commits! Your devotion to God will express itself in a redemptive extension of His love to the vulnerable. In fact, when your worship includes fasting and prayer, you will see that your spiritual breakthrough comes speedily when you forgive and help those in need in a practical way. Love God passionately, and it will lead you to serve others significantly. Pastor Dawn pointed out that down through the ages, Christians have had a spiritual heritage of extending a hand to the most vulnerable—feeding the hungry, stopping the slaughter of abortion, providing hospitals to care for physical needs, and making sure there is no gap between our worship for God and our love for those made in His image
