Worship

Tim Keller writes, "The Bible uses three basic metaphors to describe how people relate to the idols of their hearts. They love idols, trust idols, and obey idols" (Keller, Counterfeit Gods, xxi).

These three verbs--love, trust, and obey--seem to be at the heart of worship. I might also add know, enjoy, and glorify. Nevertheless worship seems to be about a living relationship of love, trust, and obedience toward God.
