Offer yourselves completely to God

'"So," Paul says "take your body; take all the tasks that you have to do every day; take the ordinary work of the shop, the office, the factory, the shipyard, the mine; and offer all that as an act of worship to God..."

True worship is the offering to God of one's body and all that one does every day with it. Real worship is not the offering to God of a liturgy, however noble, and a ritual, however magnificent. Real worship is the offering of everyday life to Him'
- The New Daily Study Bible; The Letter to the Romans, William Barclay



"The point is this: Everything on earth (except sin) can be done as an act of worship to God. Everything we do is worship when we do it for Him, displaying His face as we go.
The question is not what you do, it's who you do it for.
Your calling is to turn your place in life into a place of true worship.
To do whatever you do in a way that will reflect God's heart to those around you.
It's to worship... as you live your life."
- The Air I Breathe, Louie Giglio
