To deny one or the other or both is to deny the very essence of who we are, as humans. We are made in the image and likeness of God. The first four commandments are related to the spiritual, religious worship of God.\u00a01) I am God, don\u2019t have any others; 2) No idols; 3) Do not use Lord\u2019s name in vain; 4) Remember Sabbath and keep it holy. God knows us.\u00a0 He made us.\u00a0 If we do not worship the God of the Bible, the Father with His Son our Lord Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit, then we will worship something or someone else.\u00a0That\u2019s an idol. We go to Church to fulfill who we are, to do what we were made to do. Could anyone honestly say I am a student and not attend school?<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHY GO TO CHURCH? <u>Reason #<\/u><\/strong><strong><u>2<\/u><\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>Where do we want to go after our life on earth ends? Heaven, right? What does everyone, who is already there, do? What do the angels, the Virgin Mary, and all the Saints do in Heaven? <u>They worship God!<\/u> Our worship is different from other churches including incense, chanting, icons, candles, standing, kneeling, and making the sign of the cross. Some might say that our worship was invented by some bishop or group of monks a few centuries ago. Others say that New Testament worship was spontaneous. However, the reality is that the Divine Liturgy we celebrate these days is essentially the same, at its core, as the Liturgy of the 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0century Christians. Moreover, the Apostles and first disciples were Jews. When they became followers of Christ, they did not invent some new worship of Him. Rather, they took the forms and rituals of the worship they knew (Judaic worship) and gave it a Christian character. Look at Jesus Himself, He observed all the rituals of worship including fasts, feasts, and pilgrimages. Divine Liturgy is rooted in ancient Judaic\/Biblical worship. It came from the same commandments given to Moses on Mt. Sinai by God Himself. Therefore, our Orthodox Christian worship is the earthly component of the eternal worship in Heaven. The structure and decoration of our temple (church building) along with the services&#8217; words, prayers, petitions, and rubrics reflect Heavenly worship\u2019s nature. It\u2019s where we go to practice and prepare ourselves for the eternal worship in Heaven. If we don\u2019t prepare ourselves here, we won\u2019t be able to do it there!<\/p>\n<p><strong>COFFEE and\u2026:<\/strong> Thank you to the Youth ministry for hosting coffee and\u2026 last Sunday with a special treat for Father\u2019s Day.
