I think this is a bit narrow minded and a little annoying. I also don't think the "spiritual" and "physical" were ever meant to be separated like they have been. That's kind of what Jesus' point was to the Samaritan woman. Maybe. "Stop worrying about location because true worship is not dictated by physical place." We seem to have taken this idea to the spectrum's end and removed all physical aspects from it. I don't think he was saying that their mountain was wrong or that even Jerusalem was wrong. I think he was just saying "Who cares where? Just worship."

Ever read Desiring God? Totally agree, Spirit/Truth, once you get to that level. God takes over. Base it all on the WORD, but even outside of that, let God be God, and your LIFE is JOYFUL and FULL of WORSHIP. God, indeed, is good. BTW. Talking about worship. I couldn't resist buying tickets to go see Shane and Shane and Bebo Norman at HOCOC on Saturday. WORSHIP WITH INSTRUMENTS IN THE SANCTUARY. IF THIS IS THE DAY OF THE RETURN OF JESUS COMING, I AM READY. I hope you come, would love to hang before if you want. 214-402-2329 Sounds alot like Piper. Ever read Desiring God?
