Worship forms me spiritually. Worship not only presents Christ, it causes Christ to be formed in my life. The structure of worship is itself the structure of life—words and deeds. When I am thoroughly involved in worship I not only hear and see, but I become. I am to become God’s Word and God’s Bread to the world. To be formed by worship is to take on the characteristics of Christ, to be shaped by his presence within.
