Worship Matters chapter 11

    In this chapter, Bob starting to expand his previous emphasis on taking Holy Spirit as the main focus in worship. He suggests that if we apply this concept to our surrounding and daily life, the effect will be amplified not only for ourselves, but also have influence to others. Through real life application of God's teaching, we could achieve more than just leading worship. Instead of spreading his glory through music, we can now do it along in our daily life to have positive influence to people around us. And to go further beyond communication, we can set it as a goal to keep ourselves on track.

    I like how Bob goes further from the basic principles of worship. Everybody knows to have God as a focus in the worship process is important, yet it is hard for everyone to keep track on it. But Bob set the bar even higher, which is to combine daily life along with it. We might interpret it impossible, but if we actually try to do that, we might find it even easier to have control on the focus of worship. Because when we are trying to accomplish something that is greater than the original goal, the previous one will seem to be a bit easier than it used to.

  1. I really like how your personal application can be applied to everyone. We all need to try to put worship into our daily lives and I like how you offer the perspective of how if we do this worship will become easier.

    1. To add on I really appreciate your idea of how if you accomplish something greater than the original goal everything seems a little bit easier.

  2. I do agree that it is difficult to keep track on where we are in our worship, because we end up viewing it just as another daily task. Although it is difficult, I agree that we should try our best to combine daily life with worship.

  3. I like how you said that Bob sets the bar even higher. We usually think of worship as a once a week thing during church, but we should live to glorify him. Good job! -zoe
