CONFUSED ABOUT WORSHIP

              By A. W. Tozer

             For ye are the temple of the living God.
                                            -  -  Corinthians 6:16

             To really know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord is to
          love and worship Him!

             As God's people, we are so often confused that we could
         be known as God's poor, stumbling, bumbling people; for
         we are most prone to think of worship as something we
         do when we go to church on Sunday!

             We call it God's house.  We have dedicated it to Him.
         So, we continue with the confused idea that it must be the
         only place where we can worship Him.

             We come to the Lord's house, made of brick and stone
         and wood.  We are used to hearing the call to worship:
         "The Lord is in His holy temple---let us kneel before
         Him!" This is on Sunday and in church---very nice!

             But on Monday, as we go about our different duties---are
         we aware of the continuing ***Presence of God?  The Lord
         desires still to  be in  His  holy  temple,  wherever we are; for
         each of us is a temple in whom dwells the Holy Spirit of
         God!

          The Practice of the Presence of God by Whitaker House,
          goes into great detail on this very vital subject.
