“What, then, is the connection between the priority of God and worship? Worship is essentially about the priority of God. It is predicated upon the reality of God’s being in the supreme position in relation to everything that exists in the created order. Worship is personal, human expression of that relationship by which we honor God as supreme. The results of such worship include a greater understanding of who this unique God is and an increased desire to make Him first in all of life.”

PRIORITY vs priorities. If God is not my Priority than all of my priorities are going to be messed up.
“And he is head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from the dead, so that in everything he might have supremacy. For God is pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things…” Colossians 1:18-20a
Thank you Professor Thomassen. I appreciate the personal interest that you obviously take in your students.
Good job, Sam. The Colossians passage IS a priority passage, especially “so that in everything he might have supremacy.
