reasonable, radical, renewing, rewarding

Are we the real deal? Where do we rate?

To revere God means to love Him passionately and purely. Yet, we find that our culture is vastly reshaping what is good and right causing lines to become blurred. Yes, people's standards have changed. In other words, everything is permissible as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. The question that arises is whether or not our worship is as radical within the church as sin is within the world?

Are we Rated G (Godless) in our worship?
- Worship that has no spiritual heart to it.
Are we Rated PG (Pretty Good) in our worship?
- Worship is more based on feelings than on faith in God.
Are we Rated PG13 in our worship?
- God may have 87% of you but 13% is still missing.
Are we Rated R (Radical) worshippers?

What does Rated R worship look like?
1. Worship that is Reasonable.
2. Worship that is Radical.
3. Worship that is Renewing.
4. Worship that is Rewarding.

Romans 12:2 NLT "Don't copy the behaviors and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
