   I think we need to row with all passionand truth and no pride. We need to row like we know our place in His presence: sinners saved by grace. We need to react like Peter did in Luke 5:8. He encountered Christ in such a truthful & experiential way that he got a good look at Himself and knew that he didn't deserve to be in the presence of Christ. It's good to know the rest of the story, though... while we don't deserve it, He delightfully allows us to come!
   
   That's just a thought and a half... I also like to use John 3:30 - He must become greater, I must become less. It's all along the same lines.

   Good question Ryan-
   
   My two cents - one important component of corporate worship is the celebration of communion. I'm sad that many evangelical churches I have visited in the past don't make this a priority. Communion in worship has strong biblical and historical foundations - and it is always one of the highlights of a worship service for me.

   Perhaps we lean towards overly complex or theological approaches to this definition. Here is my abbreviated version of a worship defintion:
   
   To live one's life like God is who he says he is and has shown himself to be.

   All of life is worship. Everyone worships someone or something; an artifact, a person, tradition, a career, an idea... or God through his son Jesus. Worship does not start and stop. It only redirects. Worship is a continuous outpouring of all that we are. Worship existed before time and will never end.
