Lifestyle of worship
        This week we began First John, a book that looks at some divisions in the Church as well as attributes of Christ and how to love. Looking at 1:1-4, Scott talked about how our joy should be rooted in our fellowship with Jesus and with each other. He cross referenced this passage to one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, John 15. Here we are called to ‘remain in (Jesus) as He remains in us’ or using an older word ‘abide’. Simply put it means to remain as one. This is the transformational process of becoming like Christ. It is what some call a lifestyle of worship. Daily as we strive to obey and develop the character of Christ we are in worship. Music then is simply a tool to encourage this development or come together and celebrate it!
