]]> Comment on Who or What Do You Worship? by Travis http://spiritualteamwork.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/who-or-what-do-you-worship/comment-page-1/#comment-277 Travis Thu, 11 Dec 2008 21:08:53 +0000 http://spiritualteamwork.org/2008/12/11/who-or-what-do-you-worship/#comment-277 I think that Jesus makes it pretty clear during his conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4 that worship is not tied to a specific time or a specific place, but that it is a continual thing. So while we can, should, and do worship in specific places at specific times - like our Sunday morning services - we are not to confine or limit it to just that. We are to worship continuously as part of our lifestyle. And worship is not something done only by Christians - everyone is a worshiper whether they think they are or not. Like you said, it is about who and/or what we love. Look at the football fan who spends an entire day and over $100 down at the stadium ten weeks a year, and lives and dies by the results of last week's game (I've got a post coming on my blog about this real soon) or this year's season - they are worshiping. Show me someone who says they are not a worshiper. Give me ten minutes with their checkbook register and their calendar. That is all I need to show them what they are worshiping. Good post.

]]> Comment on Tony Jones Blesses Gay Marriage & Ordination by Travis http://spiritualteamwork.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/tony-jones-blesses-gay-marriage-ordination/comment-page-1/#comment-274 Travis Thu, 04 Dec 2008 13:16:57 +0000 http://spiritualteamwork.org/2008/12/02/tony-jones-blesses-gay-marriage-ordination/#comment-274 Just another disturbing example of a supposed Christian leader taking a stance on an issue without backing it up biblically. More and more, these guys are using their platforms to endorse their opinions in a way that leads many people to believe that what they are saying is spiritual truth. I hate to burst their bubble, but just because they believe something does not make it truth. And it certainly does not make it biblical. Which I think deep down inside, they know, because 90% of the time these guys never mention what Scriptures can back their claims. And if they do cite Scipture, they either do it completely out of context or have re-interpreted it to jive with what they are teaching. Correct me if I am wrong, but last time I checked, the Bible is not open to picking and choosing or re-interpretation to make it say what we want it to say.
