Do I evaluate worship by how I feel, or by what God’s Word says?

True worship is not measured by feelings but by conformity to God’s Word.

Am I participating with my whole heart, or spectating like an audience?

Biblical worship calls for full congregational participation, not passive observation.

Do I worship God on Sunday but live for myself Monday through Saturday?

Romans 12:1 calls us to offer our lives as living sacrifices in worship throughout the week.

As a leader, am I pointing people to Christ, or to myself?

Faithful leaders direct attention to Christ, the only one worthy of worship.
