A PERSONAL approach

 

1 John 4:1

King James Version

4 Beloved, 

believe not every spirit, 

but try the spirits whether they are of God: 

because many false prophets 

are gone out into the world.

I don't know about you, but my worship of GOD has always been simple, private, and quiet.

It's the way GOD made me.

Wherein I study quietly, pray in private, and share simply.

You will not see me at huge congregations, waving my arms, and all that.

Somehow, I just never could.

I'm still waiting for JESUS to direct me to a church I can go to.

For now, I pray, study, and share quietly.

I don't turn to man for answers.

I turn to GOD.

I turn to Scripture.

I wait for SPIRIT to direct me.

I'm not into trends, crowds, mass hysteria.

I pray to JESUS to please show me my sins.

To please reveal to me His will.

And I ask forgiveness for sins known, and unknown.

My personal approach at worship conforms to these verses:

Matthew 6:1-4

King James Version

6 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, 

to be seen of them: 

otherwise ye have no reward of your Father 

which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms,

 do not sound a trumpet before thee, 

as the hypocrites do in the synagogues 

and in the streets,

 that they may have glory of men. 

Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3 But when thou doest alms, 

let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: 

and thy Father which seeth in secret 

himself shall reward thee openly.

Matthew 6:5-6

King James Version

5 And when thou prayest, 

thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: 

for they love to pray standing in the synagogues 

and in the corners of the streets, 

that they may be seen of men. 

Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, 

enter into thy closet, 

and when thou hast shut thy door, 

pray to thy Father which is in secret; 

and thy Father which seeth in secret 

shall reward thee openly.

Matthew 6:7-8

King James Version

7 But when ye pray, 

use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:

 for they think that they shall be heard 

for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: 

for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, 

before ye ask him.

Matthew 6:16-18

King James Version

16 Moreover when ye fast, 

be not, as the hypocrites, 

of a sad countenance: 

for they disfigure their faces, 

that they may appear unto men to fast. 

Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17 But thou, when thou fastest, 

anoint thine head, 

and wash thy face;

18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, 

but unto thy Father which is in secret: 

and thy Father, which seeth in secret, 

shall reward thee openly.

1 Corinthians 10:31

King James Version

31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, 

or whatsoever ye do, 

do all to the glory of God.

Colossians 3:17

King James Version

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, 

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

My worship is not for show.

I'm glad GOD made me this way.
