Let me cut to the chase.

The truth is that "church" or peer pressure in church can be a form of worldliness too. i dunno how many people can agree or disagree with me. Yes, there's good pressure and bad. (not bad in an explicit way... probably very sublime) But just doing things for the sake of it, doesn't really sound like something coming from ur heart.

Worship can be seen on an outward and physical way, but worship is not equated to an outward expression. It's a matter of the heart. No one can look at u on the outside and judge whether u're really worshipping or whether ur heart is right. This being said, it's really between you and God, yes we should correct and advise in a loving, kind and tactful way-- but only thru the power of the Holy Spirit's conviction can come true transformation. (forcing the auto pilot ain't going to help)

Know that the work on the cross is a finished work, it's completed n perfect.... and u'll realise that nothing else u do can improve it, lessen it or void it.

"He was pierced for our trangressions, crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by His wounds we are healed!" Isaiah 53:5

Quote "The truth is that "church" or peer pressure in church can be a form of worldliness too" <== I agree! Like you said, theres good pressure and bad pressure.. if the bad pressure becomes such an overwhelming burden no matter how i perceive and handle it, then i wouldnt hav the right heart anymore.. whether it's in serving God or worshiping Him..

but nway, i got your point. =)
