Today, the whole world morns the loss of a great technology icon and co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs.  The fact that I’m even typing this right now can be attributed to the likes of Steve and many other innovators like him.  What has Steve left behind?  Well, he changed the way we listen to music, surf the internet, watch videos, and use our phones just to name a few.  All of the news reports, tweets, Facebook posts, and internet articles today are about Steve’s legacy. 

 Whenever a famous person passes like this, one who has done some much for our society and its advances, I find myself reflecting on one question.  What was their relationship with the Lord?  Now, I don’t know the answer to that question.  Steve may have been a Christian for all I know.  What I do know is that today, the focus from the media and the entire world covering his death is on the earthly things Steve accomplished.   I haven’t read anything about how Steve attended Church and used his money and influence to advance the Kingdom or how he changed lives by introducing people he came in contact with Christ.  If any of that were the case, wouldn’t it be part of his legacy?

 There is no denying the great things he has done but it does beg the question, what does it matter from an eternal perspective?  iWonder…..

You Can’t Worship Here…………

That’s the reality for many of our brothers and sisters in Christ from around the world.  I was reminded this past weekend as we remembered the events of 9/11 just how lucky we are to live in the country we do.  I think our freedoms are privileges many of us, including myself, take for granted from time to time.

Imagine a world where you can’t worship Christ freely without putting yourself in harm’s way.  Imagine a world where admitting you are a Christian will land you in jail or even worse, get you killed.

I wonder if we really take full advantage of the opportunity to worship God.  At church, at school, at work, in our car, or even at home.  If we knew what it cost other believers around the world, would that change anything?

Would it make us less concerned about how we sound when we sing?   What our prayers sound like?

Would we take advantage of the opportunity to worship freely more often?

Would we at least challenge ourselves to connect with God personally in the one place we don’t even face opposition, church?

Why you ask?   Because you can…………….worship there

Blog About a Blog…….

What is this worship blog all about? 

Well, in short, all things worship. 

I may blog about a passage of scripture on worship, one of the songs we are singing in corporate worship that week, or personal worship experiences.  It’s intended to be fun, mildly entertaining, but mostly uplifting so hope you enjoy.
