Worship Past Sunday Mornings

There is more to worship than the music on Sunday mornings.

If you go to church, you automatically know what worship means, and you probably associate it with music. It is commonly known as the singing portion of a church service. Most churches have a portion of their service dedicated to praise and worship, which involve singing songs where the lyrics are about praising the Lord.

Worship is honoring someone to the highest regard and having absolute adoration. With this, worship is so much more than singing songs about Jesus on Sunday Mornings. Although I love worshiping God through music, but worship means so much more than just singing. There have been some amazing encounters with God during worship. I have seen so many lives changed and people getting healed. Even so, you do not need music to worship the Lord.

True worship is a life that honors him. We worship on Sunday at church, but we truly connect with God when we can worship God with our lives in addition to our Sunday morning worship. John Piper once said that true worship is valuing and treasuring God above all things. When we put God first, we worship Him.

I personally love the phrase "Worship God with our life." This is something that resonates with me. Worship on Sunday mornings are my absolute favorite thing, but if I don't live my life for Him every day, then my worship may not be genuine. I have to worship God with my words and actions. I worship Him if I am a light to this dark world.

We must worship Him every day in everything we do, and we must live a life that reflects Him.

"Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." Hebrews 13:15-16

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
