Where are Christians to worship?
Christians are to worship everywhere—wherever their daily life takes them. Presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice is called our "spiritual service of worship," and it is logical and reasonable that God would require full-time service of His servants; working at the Christian life full-time is itself our act of worship. So if you work in an office, you go there from nine to five to worship; if you are a carpenter, you worship out where you are sawing boards and slamming nails. Because we carry the Spirit of God in our physical bodies, we are His sanctuary, and every single thing we do can be made an act of worship. The first indication that we are arriving at spiritual maturity is that we worship every day, wherever we are.
