More pop-theology

If you'll excuse the pop-theology from last time, I've had more on my mind since. This time's it's about the all-encompassing nature of worship.
Listening to a podcast from the guys at www.worshipcentral.org made me think about how much we can express through worship. They were talking about the inextricable link between prayer and worship, even though some people try to separate the two, which only serves to diminish the power of both.
Not only does it give voice to all that God is, worship can be all things to all people (well, all Christians, at least).
It is the bowing down, while also a the lifting up in praise. It is deeply personal, yet has a corporately unifying power. It stills our hearts and minds to the still small voice of God, yet simultaneously breathes great power. It is prayer. It is (mostly) biblical.
It is at times repenting, exulting, pleading, relating, but it is always being. Just being in the presence of an almighty heavenly father.
Above all it's awesome, moving people to tears and bringing great joy.
Celebrate in it, don't limit it. That's my simple plea.
