Worship--What? Why? How?

Here are some basic questions that need to be asked from time to time.

1. What is worship?
2. Why do we worship?
3. How should we worship?

I believe that Romans 12:1 sums it up well:

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."

How many times do we have the mentality of "I hope I GET something out of the worship today," rather than, "What can I OFFER today as worship?"

What can we OFFER in our worship, and how would that change the focus of many worship gatherings or services? Just some thoughts!!
