The fundamental meaning of the word "worship" is submission. True "worship" is living out, everyday, this petition: "your will be done on earth (and in my life) as it is in heaven." To limit the meaning of worship to a liturgical form or a particular hour or a particular day is to deny the Lordship of Christ over all things (Matthew 28:18).

"Where is the church at 11:25 on Monday morning? The church then is in the dentist's office, in the automobile sales room and repair shop, and out in the truck. It is in the hospital, in the classroom, and in the home. It is in the offices, insurance, law, real estate, whatever it is...That is where the church is, wherever God's people are. They are doing what they ought to be doing. They are honoring God, not just while they worship in a building but out there."
