"If a man can't worship, how can he be romantic?"
Worship = Love and gratitude expressed
Luke 17
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance
13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”
19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
Jesus changed the life of that leper.
He could go back to his family, play with his children, kiss his wife, work and earn a living.
Jesus made him human again.
Was it appropriate that he praised with a loud voice and threw himself at Jesus' feet?
OF COURSE!
Is that same Jesus in you?
In your church?
In your room when you're alone?
Y-E-S.
I'm sure He changed your life.

Worship away!
"AS THEY WENT, they were cleansed."
Can you imagine being filled with boils all over your body, you see Jesus, and He asks you to show yourself to your pastor?
They could've said, "Lord, heal us first!"
But no, they chose to obey.
And they got their healing.
It's always backwards with God.
Believe, then you will see.
Obey, then you'll understand.
Put your feet into the water, before the Jordan parts (Joshua 3:8)
Raise your rod, Moses. Before the sea parts
Put out your hand, man with the withered hand.
They all got their miracle.
Obedience produces Faith
Faith produces Miracles
Miracles produces Gratitude
Gratitude produces Worship.
