Real worship exudes forth from our hearts which are loving God completly. Our love for God seems to grow even more as we worship Him this way. When I have trouble worshipping the root cause is always a distracted heart. In those cases we must examine our hearts and motives as we repent and Love the Lord our God with our whole heart and mind, our complete self. In Christ Mike Ratliff Loving God is the absolute center of true worship. Real worship exudes forth from our hearts which are loving God completly.

Our love for God seems to grow even more as we worship Him this way. When I have trouble worshipping the root cause is always a distracted heart. In those cases we must examine our hearts and motives as we repent and Love the Lord our God with our whole heart and mind, our complete self.

I would LOVE to peruse it some day. Did I ever tell you I have a 1775 edition of a book by Watts on the subject of "Logick?" What a remarkable man he was: from a race of remarkable men combining head and heart, passion and theology. Allan Bob:

Genuine worship involves both head and heart—burning truth and burning affections! I'll never forget the effect Christ's shocking words had on my heart as it pertained to worship when He said, "You are a people that honor me with your lips but your heart is far from me. In vain do you worship Me." "Worshipful" actions or worship leading without a heart that is burning with affections for the Son of God is empty.
