Worship - "forms" or "wineskins" - "Potatoe" or "French Fries"

All forms go out the window when we worship in spirit and in truth.  More often than not the Spirit whispers to me that I am worshipping the Lamb while doing the most mundane things.  Mowing the lawn, washing clothes, changing oil, cleaning the shed, changing my sons clothes, making a bed, cooking food, taking a shower.  And then more often than not the Spirit whispers to me on Sunday morning at church, "What are you doing?"

"When Spirit touches spirit the issue of forms is wholly secondary." - 159
"If Jesus is our leader, miracles should be expected to occur in worship." - 165

If Jesus is our leader, Crucifixion should be expected!
If Jesus is our leader, false accusations should be expected! 
If Jesus is our leader, total abandonment of friends and family should be expected!
If Jesus is our leader, being thrown out of church should be expected!
If Jesus is our leader, blind followership should be expected

If Jesus is our leader, slavery to all man kind IS EXPECTED!

"Jesus understands being God not as something to take advantage of, but as taking the form of a bond servant and emptying Himself for others and because He does and because He acts on it to the full extent He is granted the name above every name - the doulos  (slave)is called Kyrios (Lord), the servant is called Yahweh (God), because being Kyrios (Lord) means being doulos (Slave) because being Yahweh (God) means being servant.    If being God does not mean something to take advantage of but emptying Himself,

CAN BEING HUMAN MEAN ANYTHING LESS?"          - Darrell Johnson

  1. Wow. Your post pushes to me confess my complete inability to grind out my own image of Christ and the absolute need I have for a savior to crucify my image and live freely in His temple within me. Help Jesus! HELP!!!!!
