Formal vs. Daily Worship

What is the most important part of Christian formal worship services? Is it fellowship? Prayer? Praise? Communion? Sermon? Do we as Christians focus to much on formal worship and neglect daily worship? Does the church stress enough the importance of knowing Jesus personally, daily? If not, why not? Does the church stress enough the importance of being living worship or sacrifices to God? If not, why not? Does the church stress enough the importance of taking care of the poor, widows and orphans? If not, why not? I often feel like the things that should be important aren't as important as they aught to be. It is easy for clergy and christians to forget that worship isn't just something we do once or twice a week but daily. Is worship not the way we aught to live? Isn't that true worship?

  1. Good questions. I think it is all important. Communion, praise time, even picking up the attendance cards. However, sometimes our worship mirrors our lives; there are a massive amount of nominal Christians. Much of our problems in worship stem from our inability to focus.

  2. I think there is an extreme Pharisee vs Sadducee dynamic going on. There seems to be a church on every corner and yet so many of them resemble either a funeral service or a pep rally. I believe people have made it entirely too complicated, with their pet doctrines and extremist agendas that they try to bind on others. I have a blog entry called Monopoly on Holiness (http://dayofanimation.blogspot.com/2010/08/monopoly-on-holiness.html)
