Basically put, I get my sense of worth from Him not myself - for me that's worshiping in spirit and truth. Hopefully thats not dodgy. it is interesting to note that psychologically singing in chorus as a group puts people in a state of mind that makes them more susceptible to being manipulated (emotionally ur more likely to appease and comply than reject) which is why they probably do the tithes and offering message after about the 4-6 songs LOL.

It is hard for men to go without because men dislike uncertainty (lack of faith). They'll say it is better to do it this way or don't that way. There must be order in things to do... How often we're been deceived back to the wrong tree... the serpent was more subtle than anyone! As long as we are not led by the Spirit... we're already at the wrong tree. Yannick,

is it maybe because of the spirit that has been outpoured on pentecost?

is it maybe because organisation is a form of law that holds things together by principle and because people need to organise things by lack of faith that God can organise/have his way…

think about it…

is it maybe because we lack trust (faith) that the Holy Spirit is powerful enough to hold together?

Funny that Jesus said this to the Samaritan Woman and she thought about the place of "worship"... But Jesus was talking about the kind of worship that in dwelling in HIM! As he is the TRUTH and only through HIS Spirit will we gain access to the Father. And since JESUS is in US. We can worship HIM whenever, wherever, however! Halelu Yah! omg…this totally cracked me up! hahahah
