The Call to Worship<br />
The scene of the blank-faced children who<br />
l<strong>in</strong>ed up for the gifts made me reevaluate my<br />
own motives. Did I come to the Lord for what He<br />
could give me? Or did I come to Him so I could be<br />
changed <strong>in</strong> <strong>His</strong> presence?<br />
The children who were <strong>in</strong> the presence of the<br />
Lord reflected <strong>His</strong> glory on their faces. Did I<br />
reflect the glory of the Lord?<br />
God's presence exposed my heart and<br />
changed my life as I worshipped Him <strong>in</strong> that<br />
morn<strong>in</strong>g prayer meet<strong>in</strong>g. My desire for this book<br />
is that it will also make you hungry to come <strong>in</strong>to<br />
the presence of our Lord.<br />
Be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the presence of a great man can<br />
make you a better man. But com<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to the<br />
presence of the holy God will change you <strong>in</strong> ways<br />
that men never will.<br />
In the next few pages I will share what the<br />

life of a believer. This <strong>in</strong>cludes:<br />
• the biblical pattern of worship<br />

• the difference between relationship and<br />
fellowship<br />
• God's view of the need for service<br />
• how hol<strong>in</strong>ess comes as a part of worship.<br />
My heart also goes out to leaders <strong>in</strong> God's<br />
church. I wrote a short chapter for them, just<br />
talk<strong>in</strong>g about all the th<strong>in</strong>gs I know from<br />
