God wants all of you
All of your soul, mind, heart, strength

God is pleased when...

...our worship is accurate

Must be based on the truth (Not Idols)
John 4:23 - Based on Spirit and Truth

... our worship is authentic

With ALL of your heart and soul
God sees the attitudes of the heart
Biggest distraction in worship is yourself
Best style of worship is the one that most authentically represents your love

...our worship is thoughtful

Be different - think about the meaning
Be specific - I love you, praise you (why?)
Make a list of names for God
Avoid repetition, cliches
Be sensitive to unbelievers

... our worship is practical

Offer your bodies - Romans 12:1
God says "Give me all you got"
"I'll be with you in spirit" - Body and spirit can not separate until death
Real worship costs - cost us of our self-centeredness
