I seldom listen to music radio, but in the past few days have spent a little time in the car listening to AirOne. Apparently their current slogan is something like "Let's worship now" or "Start the worship" as they transition from news/ads to music programming.
When the woman at the well asked Jesus about worship (more accurately, "bowing reverently"), Jesus responded by saying that bowing before God is not a matter of going to some place of bowing, a church in this hill or a temple on that mountain, but about having your spirit bow before God, truthfully.
Do you suppose Jesus expects us to bow our spirits before God, to "worship", only part-time, only during a "worship time" that has a Start and a Stop?
I recently heard from the pulpit a preacher say he could not play a guitar in the worship, where we are doing things in the name of Jesus, but he could play a guitar at home, as long as it was not to praise God.
Does this compartmentalization of our lives into God-honoring-time/activities and non-God-honoring-time/activities, that can be turned on and off according to a schedule, seem like what the New Testament teaches?
