What do people mean by 'worship' when they go to church?
96946
"Worship is honor and adoration directed to God. The New Testament uses several words for worship. Two of them particularly are noteworthy. The first is proskuneo, a commonly used term that literally means "to kiss toward," "to kiss the hand," or "to bow down." It is the word for worship used to signify humble adoration. The second word is latreuo, which suggests rendering honor, or paying homage.

There are many differnet "holy" places, one for each individual on earth!  Normally a "holy" place is a godly place recognized or declared sacred by religious rhetoric.  Under most circumstances people "worship" their faith there (within the sanctity of their respective religious beliefs without persecution), perform rituals, or create situations of peacefullness.  We visit them because it is normally recognized that these are "special" places giving those visiting peace, tranqual thoughts, and a restful present.

Yes I go to church on Sunday's for worship, Wednesday's and Friday's for work.  Forsaking not the gathering is a command.  I think it is important though to spend time with the Lord daily not just once a week. I am privileged to be able to do that through prayer and reading of His word.  \nWestside Bible Church, Victoria BC Canada.\nwww.westsidefamily.org

what? do u mean after they attend mass they go out and eat?\n\nwell, im a christian too....and i see no big deal on doing such things, after all, God said that Sunday is the day to rest and make yourself feel comfortable, and happy and whatsoever, and eating outside is a good way of making yourself contented..!

I do not currently attend church on a regular basis although I have in the past.I do agree that you can worship and praise God anywhere and anytime and that for some people they may be able to survive spiritually in that way. But as for me personally I really need the refreshing experience of group worship and praise and some good old fashioned christain socialization to stay spiritually uplifted.

Depends on the person... \n\nFor me spiritual means a personal relationship with my beliefs, not being dictated by a minister or church. I go to a nondenominational church because I find that some religions are extremists... God is a forgiving God not a God of fear or vengeance which a lot of churches still teach... I mean come on if God sent his son so that we might live how could that be anything but love, forgiveness, and kindness...\n\nHope this somewhat answers your question\n\nHave a GREAT day!

YES....  I think church is just a big party for god, and that is ok!  I do not attend church, and I believe.  It's just ya have to goto church or your a  bad type person.  I never will understand that.  I always hear, if you don't attend church then your not doing anything good, you don't believe,  and I say ya know I have enough bills to pay without donations to the church!  That collection thing gets to me?  Why?  Everyone is in a daze?  TAKE MONEY!!!!!

You go to church not because you have to, but because you truly love God and want to serve him. You want to "fellowship" with other people who love God. God never forces anyone, he wants real love service.

Right now, this instant.  Worship is not only limited to going to church; it is feeding the poor, giving charity, greeting your brother with a smile, and planning to make a positive impact in the world, amongst other things.  Remember, there shall be a day which you will not complete--today could be that day! Strive in a way which is pleasing to God before it is too late!

The church I attend is more like a family in that we make it a point to be involved in each others lives.  We "deal with" the good, bad, and ugly (so to speak).  My wife and a good friend started a clothing ministry which provides clothing to the needy.  We are also working with recent African refugees that escaped the killings in their country and are now lost in this one.\n\nI personally am always looking for ways to help others.\n\nBy the way, this church "family" has a lot of us who are going on a motorcycle ride after church today as it is "Biker Weekend" here.\n\nCome visit if you're ever in town.

If you read how church was done in the beginning, in the book of Acts, it was expected that Christians would meet together for mutual benefit. We bring spiritual gifts to build each other up ie the gift of prophecy or tongues, we pray for healing. You don't HAVE to go to church but it's the best way to grow spiritually. Also the Bible talks about believers being like a body, all parts are needed to make the body whole.

Baptists believe you are saved by the Creator's grace, through Jesus Christ, who is the epitome of a true Christian.  You go to church to pray, ask for forgiveness, surround yourself with spiritual people, and most of all, learn the word of God.  Church is a sacred place, symbolism that the relationship with God is not of the world.  The word is wisdom and the wisdom is with god and is god.  People go to church to learn the wisdom that have existed on this Earth for over thousands of years, wisdom that is and with God.

It doesn't say that Sunday is the true day of worship.  Sunday became the day of worship, as opposed to Saturday, after the split between the Synagogues and the Church in the 300's AD.\n\nIt also was used in this fashion to honor the day upon which Christ was resurrected.

I don't know about "church," but in Christ you will find the real Divinity, not the imagined. The church is the place where the family dynamics work to help you grow into the "new" creation...when it is not just a social club.  Finding the right church is as important as finding the right Jesus.

mine is just right. It has the word  of God. I would change nothing. I donot like the mega churches because if you want the concert type worship music, go to a concert.  If oyu're worshipping the lord you do not have to go all out, you can keep it simple, if I would change things about churches I've been to then I would  wish it was more hymnal old fashioned instead of a crazy concert scene.
