I pray that it is always a beginning for each of you. A beginning of a new way of life which every sermon and teachings of our Lord called for.
After getting into a violent storm on his escape boat, Jonah worshiped the Lord in such a way that he made the necessary changes in his life. He said in repentance, “Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. But I with a song of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you” (Jonah 2:8-9).
Following after the Sunday morning service, the pastor stood at the back of the church, shaking hands with the worshipers as they left. As one man shook hands, he looked intently at the pastor and said, "Powerful sermons, Pastor. Thoughtful and well researched. I can always see myself in them . . . and I want you to knock it off" (From a cartoon by Lee Johnson, The Best Cartoons from Leadership Journal, Volume 1: Broadman & Holman, 1999).
The popular writer Richard Foster once said, "If worship does not change us, it has not been worship."
As God’s children, the call to worship Christ must not be subjected to deliberation. Through which, the eventual result must be a change of behavior towards His will. It must become our way of life, a habit that we cannot do without.
