Here's a teaser:
One of my favorite pastors is Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA makes a statement about human nature that I believe to be true. He says that worship is at the very core of our being. In life all of us are worshipers. By nature we look for something to give our life away to. We generally determine what that thing will be based off of our assessment of value. For some people that is family. For others it hunting. For some it is the newest gadget. Some people worship their work, and others things like alcohol or gambling or drugs. But we all worship something. Whatever you deem most valuable, you will give yourself to in worship. God created us to worship. It is hard wired into every one of us.
I once knew a guy who years ago dropped out of college and quit his job so he could follow the band “The Grateful Dead” as they toured across the country. He sold everything he owned that summer so he could buy a van to live in. (tell more it time allows) And without question, he worshiped that band, he would’ve told you so himself.
Unfortunately we often don’t contemplate what we are worshiping and whether it is worthy. For many people it’s as easy as reading through a handful of their bank statements and glancing at their calendar to find out what they worship.
