The worst tragedy of using any human effort in ministry is it's propensity to end up in idolatry-- worshiping the works of your hand [Micah 5.13]. Thus, Jesus must appear in you 100 percent and live out your life and do the ministry through you. In Galatians, Paul said God revealed His Son in him , and that's the only time Paul was able to preach the Gospel to the gentiles [Gal.1.16].

With such acts of mercy and kindness from an all-powerful God and Creator, the least His people should've done was to worship Him. How? True worship acceptable to God is not what artificial worship man is accustomed with. We're often busy doing what we call "church worship"--that programmed ritual we do on Sundays involving a prelude, opening and closing prayers, scripture reading, special numbers, choir singing, praise and worship, and a sermon. Such a waste of time, energy, and money. A
