What is a life of worship look like when we're at work or at school or when we're engaged

in the daily tasks that make up the bulk of our lives?

The following excerpt is from John Piper Sermon, what is the will of God and how do we know

it, which he preached on August 22, 2004?

The aim of Romans 12, 1 and 2 is that all of bodily life, everything you do with your

bodies, all of life, be worship.

Present your bodies as living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual

worship.

The goal of these two verses is that you find the way of life at work and at home that

makes Christ look as valuable as he really is.

That's what worship is.

Worship is an expressing a display of the worth of all that God is for us in Christ.

So when you're bodily life, what you do with your hands, your feet, your arms, your tongue,

your eyes, your ears, when all of that becomes worship, it becomes a way of displaying

the value, the worth of Christ.

So that's the point of these verses.

Paul wants to build on 11 chapters of theology and turn your life into doxology.

So it sounds like doxology, it looks like doxology, smells like doxology, and if you don't

know how to do that at work, if your work feels like the kind of work where that is absolutely

inconceivable idea, two possible problems.

One is you have the wrong job, but that's probably not the case.

It's probably that verse two isn't happening to the degree that it should.
