Worship

So I was thinking about the idea of worship.
In my church it means we sing songs without end which only express God from a warped man's viewpoint.  Songs by Redman are amongst the worst in that regard.  Nothing wrong with his songs as long as you understand there is a whole lot of "me"-ism contained in them.
And that is not impressing God!

Romans 9

God wants to be adored
Not analyzed!
Yet so much of our pulpit time is spent trying to out think God!

Man's pride is adversed to the idea that God is to worshiped!

Everything which exists is God's
Everything we have is because God lent it to us
We do His will, for His glory
We get no say, no credit, nor do we deserve any!
The world is God's
God created us
He is sovereign
Our arrogance comes between us and God
 - Evolution arguments
 - "Its not fair!"
 - No acceptance of predestination
 - Nothing special about us, compared to others
 - We are unworthy
 - We are not able to choose wisely
 - God, in His sovereignty, chooses us even in our sin
 - We want control

...

And I have thought on this and realized that an unexpressed idea for many decades lay in here. 
What stands between us and God?
What stands between the Church and God?
There is a disconnect here I could never have grasped.


I will see if I can continue my thinking on this tomorrow .....
