Worship—everyone worships.
Harold Best
Harold Best “At this very moment, and for as long as this world endures, everybody inhabiting it is boing down and serving something or someone—an artifact, a person, an institution, an idea, a spirit, or God through Christ.”

Information vs Formation.
More than just a Christian worldview is needed (information) our hearts must desire the kingdom of God (formation).
The World is trying to make disciples…they evangelize what the good life is…and they have forming habits that they teach s in order to pursue what our hearts wants.

Exodus
G.K. Beale
“We become what we worship either for ruin or for restoration.”
If you worship an idol you become like that idol.
If you worship the living God than you are transformed into His image.
For the church, worship is participation in Jesus's own worship of the Father by the power of the Spirit.
It is initiated by the Spirit's prompting, made possible by the Son's work, and all about the Trinity's glory.
we are invited in as participants and witnesses to that glory, and it is a glory that transforms us.
3. What you love you Evangelize.
Matthew
