I'm not going to claim that the proper response by a human to God is anything other than, or less than, worship or adoration, but again, I think your view is a bit distorted. God isn't looking for worship as a precondition of anything. On the contrary, worship is the natural response that comes after people realise who he is. He is quite happy to help people realise who he is without any preconditions, other than for them to be willing to listen and to learn.

Chris please don't take this as being offensive in any way, but a question I've always been interested in asking people of faith is, "how are you or others so aware of what God actually wants"?
Is for example the above post opinions that you have deduced that God wants from say talking to other theologians or reading the bible or the like, or is it more than that.
One of the reasons I'm asking is that I've seen quite a few religious programs lately on TV whereby a group of people from varying religions all claim to know what God wants, surely they can't all be right.?
