Michael Lyris Woods, preparing to bury his uncle in Youngstown, Ohio, argues that worship must be intentional, not incidental. True worship requires knowing God in spirit and truth, and it demands sacrifice. Make your time with God purposeful, especially in grief.

Chapters

Good morning, family. Happy Friday. Uh, getting ready to get some breakfast. Uh, my dad and I are here in Youngstown, Ohio. Uh, we're getting ready to bury my uncle today. Uh, but I wanted to just kind of jump in here and piggyback off something I wrote yesterday, and it was something to this effect. I said that, uh, worship or time with the Holy Spirit should never be incidental. It should always be intentional. I'm gonna say that again. It should never be incidental. It should be intentional. The best way to make your encounters with the Holy Spirit intentional is through worship. Now, here are two important things I want you to remember on this Friday. Remember, Dr. Mike West told you this. Two things you need to remember about worship. One, You cannot worship God if you don't know God. Okay, I'm gonna say that again. You cannot worship if you don't know God. Anybody can praise, anybody can dance, anybody can praise. Let everything that has breath, but them that worship must worship in spirit and in truth. Secondly, you cannot worship God without a sacrifice. Worship is always sacrificial. If you study the text, if you understand scripture, you never came before the king empty-handed without a sacrifice. So listen, make your time and your encounters with God intentional and not incidental. Peace.
