Worshiping Continually
WORSHIPING CONTINUALLY CONTINUALLY means that any time is the right time to praise God! And CONTINUALLY means a huge attitude adjustment is in order. CONTINUALLY means that in every moment we’re looking for ways to glorify Him. CONTINUALLY gets our worship outside the walls of the church building. CONTINUALLY gets our worship outside of our devotional times. CONTINUALLY gets worship outside of our Christian conferences. Our worship events. Our MP3 players. Our headphones. CONTINUALLY gets worship into the marketplace. Into our hangout places. Into our conversations with friends. Into our Starbucks moments. CONTINUALLY gets worship into our entertainment choices. Our bank accounts. Our hidden thoughts. Our dark nights. Our joys. What God is saying is this: "Everything you are—is Me. Everything you have—is mine. The life you live is My life that I’ve freely given you. And I want worshipers who will constantly reflect My goodness and grace with that life." God wants our lives to be a seamless cord of worship. God wants our worship to be a way of life. —Louie Giglio, THE AIR I BREATHE: WORSHIP AS A WAY OF LIFE. (Sisters, Oregon: Moltnomah, 2003), p. 79-80. ISBN 1-59052-153-6.

The author has one thing to say, and he says it very well. I enjoyed it thoroughly.] Have a great week.
