Do We Worship?

I have wondered over the years, why is there so much fuss and concern in the church over issues such as politics, economics, and social justice... Don’t check out on me just yet, I am not saying this is bad…in fact I think we should be discussing these things, after all, while we are not of this world, we are certainly in it” (John 17:15-16). But my question is why do we (followers of Christ) fuss with these things and give relatively little attention to how we worship? Oh yeah, we'll argue about music and the worship time, liturgy and dress code…but that is not what I am speaking of. Jesus told the woman at the well in John 4:23-24, “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." I don’t hear much conversation about worshiping God in spirit and in truth…about worship at all! About how to worship, or why to worship that way…why is that? Yet isn't our worship of God one of the most important things we do? One might draw the conclusion that we are less concerned with the One who governs the universe and eternity than with those whom we’ve elected to govern our society. If so, that’s a sad commentary on the state of the Church.
