Worship do you?

Worship do you?
Jesus said,
“Yet a time is coming and has now come 
when the true worshipers 
will worship the Father in spirit and truth, 
for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.  
God is spirit,
 and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” 
                                                                               John 4:23-24.
There are many in this day and age especially here in North America where I live who claim to be Christians. Who claim to worship God, and they do somewhat. They go to church, they participate in the worship portion of the service. Listen to the sermon. There heart however is not entirely in it.
Outside of the church they do nothing. They fail to worship God outside of Church. The things of the world it seems are more important to them.
The way I see it is Worship is made up of three things. Praise, prayer and thanksgiving.
The psalmist tells us,
Praise the LORD. 
Praise God in his sanctuary; 
praise him in his mighty heavens. 
Praise him for his acts of power; 
praise him for his surpassing greatness. 
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
 praise him with the harp and lyre, 
praise him with tambourine and dancing, 
praise him with the strings and flute, 
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
 praise him with resounding cymbals. 
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. 
Praise the LORD. 
                              Psalm 150.
The apostle Paul tells us,
“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone...” 1 Timothy 2:1.
The Psalmist telling us,
“Give thanks to the LORD, 
for he is good; his love endures forever. 
Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.” 
Let the house of Aaron say: “His love endures forever.” 
Let those who fear the LORD say: “His love endures forever.”
                                                                                 Psalm 1181-4

This, if you claim to be a Christian, a follower of Christ Jesus this is what you should be doing both inside and outside the church.
Please think about it.
