worship celebration times:
Healthy eating and exercise matter, but can't prevent the second-hand pollutants that cause disease and distress. This world's moral and mental pollutants are just as dangerous! Yet, James calls us to lead unpolluted lives--healthy food for the mind, sobriety for the soul, and the focus on sacrificial service that fulfills God’s purpose.
God is impressed by performance—not empty promises. The truest expression of worship we can offer to God is sacrificial service to the most vulnerable.

Even when we are unaware, God’s Spirit leads us at all times to fulfill God’s purpose in our lives.
