Worship Management

Noah did everything just as God commanded him. -- Matt 3; Gen 6-7;12

In the rush of things, we must all consider the consequences of worship management.

· Have I compartmentalized my worship?

· Is it linear, point-by-point and stagnant?

· Is it vibrant and undeniable?

Noah and John the Baptist were two faithful men that worshipped God among a busy, pre-occupied, strangely religious, yet largely pagan culture. We seem to resemble this much in our area of the Southeastern United States today. In each respect, we see men that chose to do as God had requested and ordered among the "religious-retarded" and the "self-made".

If this world is going to come from within the busyness of the city to seek repentance in the wilderness, I must be preaching a message that I am living while I am living a message that is anointed, authentic, simple, and believable. Noah preached as they mocked, ridiculed, and ignored. John declared the message of repentance without shuddering. This is both saddening and reassuring to me.

1.Yes, the world is in need of restoration as it winds towards annihilation.

2.Our mission to carry out God's purposes is just as necessary.

3.There will only be a remnant to follow Christ, even at His return.

4.Our worship before man means everything.

Worship management is crucial, our stance as Abram, between the Promised Land and this world must be one on a sure footing. Our time before God and our mingling with this lost culture should never be separate. I am to welcome this world into my worship of God and never set aside the privilege to worship in order to blend in at the temptation to compromise.

Will the Person of the Holy Ghost lead you as your worship manages your life?

Will you deny great things by allowing this world to manage your worship?
