Touch Football and Worship

Ever played two hand touch football? It's fun but it's not really the same thing as full contact football. In full contact football you really need to go all out all the time or you risk being hurt. If you try and play it safe and protect yourself you find that your doing things that will actually put you in the position to get hurt. In football, the safest way to play is full on.

Now some of you are wondering why the title touch football and worship right?

Ok, now I am getting to that. Most of us worship God like we're playing touch football. We worship quietly and safely. We purposely worship God so as to not expose ourselves to him. I believe God is calling us to be full contact worshipers.

What exactly does that mean? It's actually simple. Pursue him with reckless abandonment. Forget about the things that this world has to offer and instead offer yourself up to God no holds barred. If you feel like dancing then dance. If you feel like raising your hands do it. Sing, dance, and give it all to him. The Bible says we should never be lukewarm because God would spit that out of his mouth.

We need to be full contact worshipers. Let it fly. Don't worry about getting hurt....let it all go for him.
