Have a look at Micah 6:6-8
How can I stand up before God and show proper respect to the high God?
Should I bring an armload of offerings topped off with yearling calves?
Would God be impressed with thousands of rams, with buckets and barrels of olive oil?
Would he be moved if I sacrificed my firstborn child, my precious baby, to cancel my sin?
But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It's quite simple:
Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don't take yourself too seriously— take God seriously.
Mmmm.
Last night for Nehemiah Night we met at Joe Czajka's house.
After some great food we walked the neighborhood praying for each family as we passed in front of their house.
Joe had asked his neighbors ahead of time if there were needs that we could pray for. There were needs.
We walked and prayed.
I had never done anything like that before. It was amazing.
It was kind of a reversal of church. Instead of being on the inside praying out, we were on the outside praying in.
Praying for strangers to meet God seems like worship to me. The kind of worship God really digs.
