People mocking God and seeming to do well despite their warped worldview.

Entering the sanctuary of God.
Their focus is off their preoccupations and on God.
A new reality.

The other people are on slippery ground.

We need to be on a stable ground.

Worshiping God and seeing His love and mercy in our lives
God is worthy of being worshiped.

Selfishness is a barrier to worship.

1. Worship is my response to God's love.
He sent His Son to die for us.
2. Worship is giving back to God.
3. Worship expressing affection to God.
Hosea 6
Exodus 34:
God is passionate about His relationship to us.
Romans 6:13
4. Worship is using my activities for God.

Turn every aspect of your lives over to God.
