The Time to Worship

In church today, we sang "Now Is the Time to Worship" at the beginning:

Verse:
Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your God
Come

Chorus:
One day every tongue will confess You are God
One day every knee will bow
Still, the greatest treasure remains for those
Who glady choose You now

At the end of worship, the song leader changed the lyrics in Power Point and showed a song where the word "Go" replaced "Come." The point is that not only should we "worship" in church assemblies, but that we should also "worship the Father in spirit and truth" (John 4:23). That means taking it outside into the street, down the alleyways of our cities and our towns, and into our own homes as well. It was a good point to make at the "end" of the scheduled "worship" that happened at church today.

The "time to worship" did not end when I left Louisiana, and it began a long time before I ever even thought about Christianity.
