Atmosphere of Worship: Respect
Believers should invest every effort to foster an Atmosphere of Worship. There should be an exponential effect when believers come together to worship. However, this is not always true because the church has lost focus on the importance of Respect. In order to have an Atmosphere of Worship there must be Respect. So many people have been turn away from God because of the misapplication of Respect. Paul sees spiritual leaders as co-laborers; not to be catered to, but to be respected for the work they do. Leadership has a responsibility to God and the church to ensure direction is maintained. At times this will call for correction. Authority is not to be abused or misused, but is to build up. Every believers knows what Respect feels like and looks like, therefore let us not simply demand Respect; let us invest in respecting everyone so that we can have an Atmosphere of Worship.
