God, Hope & Helping Others

“How can anyone worship if he does not go to church?" I was asked.

True worship is heartfelt adoration of God because of Who He is, what He is, and what He does. It is never dependent upon place or ritual. It needs no established forms or ceremonies. Just a believers spontaneous response to those hundreds of daily revelations of His awesome glory!

Whenever because of revealed truth a heart responds with adoration and gratitude because of what God is or what He has done, that is worship.
The woman at the well spoken of in John chapter 4 was seeking information from Jesus about this topic of worship. She wanted to know was it better worship in one place rather than another and Jesus made an amazing reply:
He spoke of a time coming when true worshippers would not ot be limited by place or ritual: They would worship the Father "in spirit and in truth" because that's what the Father desired.
Today even the meaning of Worship is being lost.  In many minds it is reduced to choir or group singing in a building on a certain  day: This directly contradicts what Jesus said: If it's to be in spirit then it cant be hemmed in by place or man made rituals.
This heartfelt adoration of God can consume the heart as you sit on a train,  walk the mountains and valleys,  taste the fragrance of a rose or watch the newborn in her mothers arms. It can find expression in reading of scripture out loud, speaking the glories of God or singing and music. It can also find expression in sitting quietly in His presence.
True worship is always a personal and individual matter even when done with a company. Indeed when a few who worship as individuals come to worship together it can be glorious.
But as the 4th c Irish monk wrote of his fellow monks whom he probably envied as they  had the money to travel to Rome:
"Who to Rome goes ..
Much labour, little profit knows:
For God at home, unless you've sought Him
You'll miss at Rome, unless you brought Him"

It is the Ministry of NSearch that all inherit the Kingdom of God

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law....

Now the works of the flesh are evident, 

which are adultery fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies,

outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy,

murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like;

of which I (Paul the Apostle) tell you beforehand,

just as I also told you in time past, that those who 

practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control,

against such there is no law. Those who are Christ's

have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another,

envying one another.

Galatians 5:18-26

{Sorcery: "Pharmakia;" Primarily mentioned as one of the "works of the flesh." In "sorcery" the use of drugs. Blue Letter Bible. Galatians 5:20}
