The first time the word worship appears in the King James Version of the Old Testament, it appears with appalling import. 'Abide ye here,' Abraham tells his servant, while 'I and the lad go yonder and worship.' The terrible offering of his son's life is what the Bible's first instance of 'worship' portends. In the New Testament, the word worship first appears again in conjunction with a costly offering. It is used in reference to the wise men, who 'worshipped' the Christ child by 'open[ing] their treasure' and 'present[ing] unto him gifts.' Worship, then, is about what we are prepared to relinquish--what we give up at personal cost.

How would I know what Jesus would have done? That fella was a mass of contradictions as far as I can see. One minute he says to turn the other cheek, the next minute he's having a big strop and kicking over lads' market stalls. He says blessed are the meek and he goes around shouting and roaring the odds to everyone. He rises from the dead and then shags off a few weeks later and leaves his buddies in the shit.

In the evening, sit on the end of your bed and close your eyes. Think deeply about the day that’s just passed. Ask yourself the following questions: What happened today that brought me joy? What happened today that made me anxious? What tasks did I enjoy? What tasks frustrated me? Write down your answers.

The Fellowship of the Believers 42And a they devoted themselves to the apostles’ b teaching and the c fellowship, to d the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43And awe [5] came upon every soul, and e many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44And all who believed were together and f had all things in common. 45And f they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46And day by day, g attending the temple h together and i breaking bread in their homes, they received their food j with glad and generous hearts, 47praising God and k having favor with all the people. And the Lord l added to their number m day by day those who n were being saved.

The only place that’s better than Sunnybank,” he mused, his hand on Lad’s silken head, his eyes ceasing to rove over his moonlit acres and resting happily on his wife—“the only place that’s better than Sunnybank is heaven. And that’s only because in heaven, according to the Bible, ‘there is no marrying or giving in marriage.
