True Worship: Acts of Justice Culminating into a Third Great Awakening

LISTEN NOW! Often times, we can caught up in the act, or any act for that matter, that is being done for the Lord with the mindset that, if its being done for the Lord, it must be right, God must accept it and be pleased with it. This is not always the case. George Barna did a study on worship and his statistics were quite staggering: ‘80% of regular church attenders believe worship is about them.’When we look at the book of Amos, we find a stark contrast to our reactions to worship, and what God’s reactions can be:

“I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” Amos 5:21-23

When we begin to bring worship with one purpose in mind, the heart of God, we will see a profound difference of response and outcome than what we are presently witnessing. Sometimes, we can allow the enemy to steal the very worship that we are offering to God, even when it does have the right motive. Jeremy Riddle shares a profound understanding of worship by stating, “Worship is anything that is pleasing to the heart of God.” God cares about those to our left and right and those who are being treated unjustly, and more importantly, how we respond, or don’t respond to them. When we respond in this way, we have the potential of bringing about a Third Great Awakening and changing the very DNA of a culture, as the 1^st and 2d Great Awakenings has done in the past. Hear the full story of how impacting it is to lead a life of worship, what God’s perspective of worship is, and so much more.
