Last Tuesday, in THE WOMAN AT THE WELL, Part 2, we took at the look at the selfishness that so often motivates our worship. Today's lesson will look the second type of worshipper: Those who worship God because they are afraid not to! Is this a constructive way to...
Why do are we told to worship, anyway? Isn't that kind of arrogant for God to say, "Hey! Worship me!" Does He need my worship? Not at all. Friends, the God who created the universe out of nothing doesn't need anything. He doesn't need our worship in even the smallest...
