Is not God our AWESOME creator? Can anyone do what He has done? Did He not shed His blood for me? When I go to church, do I worship the Almighty God my Savior as He sooo deserves? Is He not worthy of GREAT praises from me? Should I not make a LOUD noise to Him in adoration? Should I be afraid to worship him in dance (Just as King David said in the Psalms)? Should I not give my BEST to Him in worship at church? Should I not worship Him DAILY as I go about my day? I NEED to spend my time worshiping the Creator with my everything all the time. . .

Many people in our society worship with their everything their gods. . . the created; such as Football, Hockey, Soccer & Baseball Stars, Etc. A lot of people also worship Rock & Country Music Stars, Movie Stars Etc.

Throughout the bible it says that only God should be worshiped and not other gods. Now some of you say that these gods are statues and things. Well, how many will miss church to watch the TV or will miss church so that they can work for material things. Are these not objects? If given the choice, how many would give up church to have a TV ? How many people have missed going to church to watch a sport, movie or singer.

One form of worship as mentioned in the Bible is to adore. How many people actually adore various people? How many are glad and rejoice & sing with LOUD noises and give that person/persons glory when they go to see them in person or even on the television.
Some people have to have a sweater, hat and even paint their faces to cheer their team or sport person. People have pictures of their favorite person up on their wall and collect cards with pictures of them. They covet to get a signature or something that belonged to them and will do anything to get it including fighting or paying a lot of money for it. It gets so bad that some people will actually faint if they are touched by that person.
What do you call worship.
