1.2/11 SHEILA SCHULLER re WORSHIPPING the CREATOR ABOVE the CREATED

comment: Sheila makes a good point in that we don't worship great music or a beautiful building..but God alone...which is Christ & the Holy Spirit as well..and we the worldwide body of believers R the body of Christ so by honoring eachother & building eachother up & bringing new people in (lost sheep) we also r worshipping God. by caring for eachother, by acknowledging good praise music..we worship God..even by building building beautiful buildings dedicated to God we r worshipping ..as long as we don't fall into the trap of putting the created before the creator which is Sheila's point ..& that's the problem of when a building becomes more important than the bodies in it..always the bodies come first ..] 1/2/11 crystal cathedral, sheila schuller's Salt covenant message part 2,...Jesus shook up the world...he was a salt shaker..hhe said "you are the salt of the earth.." u & me..also light of the world..be a candle in the darkness..One of last example ..wash disciples feet..S.A.L.T ..servant leadership team..tower..and cross..I was in high schooll when it went up..patients @ uci see it ..at night..I believe in a new tomorrow..also being salt..serving..our community..shake up community w/ flavor of Jesus..I came out of starbucks..last night w/ husband..date night..homeless man wnted money..but I won't give money..sometimes I will go back in and order food to go..and five it to them...also I give out peanuts at freeway ramps..we are salt shakers..we have empty seats..reserved..for broken..I have sea salt for food...I wouldn't use rock salt..its for driveway ice..are u sea salt or rock salt...how do we stay salty..talk abt this specifically today....don't usually get to talk this long if tapin for hour of power..but today I speak to local cong..daily weekly monthly component..daily..pray & read god's word..pray lords prayer every single morn..transform's my walk...keeps me salty..pray daily..I personally like the lords prayer..I add personal petitions while I say the lords prayer..also I read God's word..a psalm..a part of John...spend time in God's word..reading every day..diff techniques..sometimes I write it on a tsticky note..like this 2 cor 4.8-9..on fridge, on bathroom window,, in car, ...on computer..and I journal...about 2 1/2 booklets per year..like I'm writing a letter to god...way to tangible keep prayer life salty..not every day, but every other day..so daily read & pray..imp...God has called us to do amazing things..we need to stay salty..stay in prayer.weekly..worship God corporately..as an entire congreg..why imp...stay focused..come together..force to be reckoned with..when we worship..some r afraid to worship..don't b afraid..don't worship created but creator..its a temptation to worship self...that I am more important than God..first message I prepared for here..I thought.
