“Worship is a tricky word. It conjures up in our minds all kinds of formal ritualistic religious images. But worship, in its most basic biblical usage, is an identity that shapes activity. You are a worshiper, which is why you worship.
So what does it mean to be a worshiper? It means that you are a purpose-driven or value-driven being. There is something always laying claim to the rulership of your heart. There is something for which you are living. There is something of value to give shape to why you do what you do and say what you say in the situations and relationships of your daily life. There is something you look to for identity, meaning and purpose and an inner sense of well-being.”
