Worship Empowers Religious Liberty

Jun 23, 2024    Steve Marshall

When the culture around us or our government puts pressure on our conscience to conform, run to God and worship Him. This sounds simple but this is where the battle begins. Worshipping our Creator God clarifies our values and emboldens religious liberty. It reminds us of eternity and what is of utmost importance - our triune God. Worship reminds us that this is not our home and that Christ has come to secure our eternal home for us. Worshipping God renews our boldness and fight to live according to the Spirit and not the flesh conforming to the world. In Ezra 4, God's people failed to worship God and their values became like the world around them. Let our worship declare God’s transcendence, His authority over all things and our commitment to Him. Let our worship strengthen our fight against the world’s pressure on us to conform; the fight against the flesh’s call for us to indulge in it; and destroy the devil’s effort to distract us from following God (Eph. 6:12; 2 Cor. 10:3-4). Worship God and love your freedom to live out your Holy Spirit led conscience to the glory of God.
