The Use of Latreuo in the New Testament Serving God: Matt. 4:10; Luke 1:74; 2:37; 4:8; Acts 7:7; 24:14; 26:7;27:23; Rom. 1:9; Phil. 3:3; 2 Tim. 1:3; Heb. 9:14; 12:28; Rev. 7:15; 22:3 Serving the Stars: Acts 7:42 Serving the Creature: Rom. 1:25 Serving the Law: Heb. 8:5; 9:9; 10:2; 13:10 4. Eusebo. The fourth verb used in the New Testament to describe worship is eusebeo meaning "to act piously toward." The Apostle Paul claimed the Athenians "worshiped" the Unknown God in this way when addressing them on Mars Hill (Acts 17:23). The same Greek word is also used by Paul to identify the obligation of children and grandchildren toward their widowed mother or grandmother (1 Tim. 5:4). The root idea of this word in both places where it is used seems to be that of showing honor toward one who should be honored. The Use of Eusebeo in the New Testament Pious in Faith: Acts 17:23 Pious in Family: 1 Tim. 5:4
APPENDIX THREE CHRISTIAN LEADERS ON WORSHIP Wonder is the basis of worship. Thomas Carlyle There is a use for ritual in a man's religious life. When a man is in a right relationship to God ritual is an assistance; the place of worship and the atmosphere are both conducive to worship. Oswald Chambers Reverence towards God makes men natural and simple to each other. There is a modest yet unabashed naturalness of manner which occasionally distinguishes spiritual persons, into whatever company they are come. A man will hardly ever be awkward in public, who in secret pays habitual reverent court to God. Habitual reverence is the high breeding of the spiritual life. F. W. Faber It is commonly assumed that, provided only we repair to our church or chapel, the performance of the work of adoration is a thing that may be taken for granted. But the work of Divine Worship, so far from being a thing of course even among those who outwardly address themselves to its performance, is one of the most arduous which the human spirit can possibly set about. Gladstone Worship is an opportunity for man to invite God's power and presence to move among those worshiping Him. Jack W. Hayford Take heed, then, often to come together to give thanks to God, and show forth His praise. For when ye come frequently together in the same place, the powers of Satan are destroyed, and his "fiery darts" urging to sin fall back ineffectual. For your concord and harmonious faith prove his destruction, and the torment of his assistants. Ignatius of Antioch All Christian worship, public and private, should be an intelligent response to God's selfrevelation in his words and works recorded in Scripture. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
