(I'll be doing something different today. Hope you like it!)
Amado, can you stop for a moment? There is something I have to tell you.
Amado, which church, if any, you go to? Which denomination? Why I ask, you ask? For a moment, I thought you were going to throw me with something! Sorry, my friend. However, there is something I want to tell you.
Why do we concentrate so much on proving who’s right or wrong? Who says that pants are sin? Who says that raising hands in worship is uncanny and outdated? Who says that modern praise music is from the devil? Who says who? Why do we concentrate so much on who knows more doctrine than realizing that –even though it is necessary- doctrine is just a way to recognize the order of Christ?
I know, amado, you’re rolling your eyes already. Can we lay our Bibles up, put our “guns” down, and just worship? Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth. (Psalms 96:8-9, NIV) Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. (Psalm 29:2, NIV)
Should I beg? Amado, we are brothers in Christ. We will correct each other, care for each other, love each other deeply, even if we are in different denominations. For that is not serving God? Please, brother, don’t point at me, it makes me feel bad. Just help me worship the Lord.
Please, amada. Let’s shut up and worship freely and deeply. Let us cleanse in His water and blood, dress in His Sprit, and worship without any malice.

I pray, Lord, help me shut up and worship You as You deserve to be worshipped.
