I was saying that this vid made me think of Matt Redman's song 'The Heart of Worship' and the gist of my comment was that my husband and I were talking last night about the song and how we can get so caught up in service to God, a preacher/pastor, a friend, simply doing 'stuff' for God and lose sight of who we are doing these things for and why...perhaps we need to check our motives...at least sometimes.
@ACruceSalus1 Cont.... Just to share a few lyrics from the song: I'm coming back to the heart of worship And it's all about You All about You, Jesus I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it When it's all about You It's all about You Jesus Its all about you Jesus
I was also sharing with my husband that now being Reformed there is no going back to not seeing God for how sovereign he is...how it's...YEP...all about HIM, not us. I have learned more about God, Jesus, scripture in the past several years since I have been embracing RT than all the years I grew up in Arminian churches...not that I learned nothing at all in Arminian churches...but the differences in adhering to the teachings of Reformed teachers...
and of course reading scripture is a vast diference. There is simply no comparison. I have learned more and more from the Word and by listening to men God has truly raised up to teach the Word and expound upon it...that it is ALL about HIM as I have never learned before.
Praise God. He is amazing.
I have said it before and will say it again...there are no words to describe how wonderful, beautiful, awesome and amazing he is in our language.

@ACruceSalus1 Yes, this reading made me think a lot about my own faith as well, as brother Oswald so often does.
