Life as Liturgy - Romans 12.1, 2

Jobey McGinty

We don't become "ourselves" simply by looking within. We are always looking outward in order to shape us. If you had been born with your exact DNA but in 600 A.D. in Asia, you would be a radically different person. How we respond to what we see and behold is what shapes us. We first interpret ("i like that" or "I don't like that"), and then we respond or reflect.  If every action, decision, thought, and habit is an act of worship, our habits, in reality, are "liturgies." A liturgy is a pattern that we act upon in order to cultivate worship. And we must begin to analyze what we are reflecting so we can form better liturgies to expedite worship and the glorification of God in our lives.
