True worship includes obedience.

Hello soldiers, friends, and fellow followers of Jesus.

Yesterday we held a memorial for a past corps (church) member. As always I don't know who makes it into heaven or not, anyone can call out and put their complete trust in Jesus alone for their salvation at any time, and many who call Jesus Lord will hear God say I never knew you, so I will never know who is in heaven - that is completely up to God Himself.

You might ask... What does this have to do with me, worship, or obedience?

Just remember today as you spend time in worship of your Lord...
Make sure He gets more than just music although it's right to praise Him in song...
Make sure He gets more than just words from your lips although it's right to praise His Name and give witness and testimony to who He is and everything He has done in your life...
Let's make sure He gets obedience to His command to go into all the world and preach His gospel that there is no other name under heaven by which men must be saved.

Let's move beyond "Sunday morning worship" although it's right to give Him, and let's obey His call to spread the news, so here it is...
Jesus is the only way to heaven.
Jesus made a way for us to be forgiven by His death and resurrection.
You must trust in Jesus alone for your salvation.
You must turn from your sin and sinning out of obedience to Him.

True worship includes obedience to share your faith. We're not responsible for the results, but we have to do our part to take the name of Jesus to the ends of the earth.

Live holy, preach Jesus!
