Words on Worship

When it comes to corporate worship…or worship with others, it is always enjoyable to do so in the presence of friends.  But we all know there are casual friends and then there are close friends. Most of us will only have a handful of what we refer to as “close” friends throughout our lifetime. The best of friends can often understand what we are thinking without a spoken word.

We pay lots of money each year to make sure we smell good to others. But, what about our spirit? How do we smell spiritually? You can always tell the Christians who spend a lot of time with Jesus.  They simply smell better.
