Purity In Worship

I was thinking last night after we had our leadership meeting for DIO how corrupt our worship is at times. Don't get me wrong God takes us just as we are. We can come before him in our filthiness and we lay all our baggage and things that don't belong. In saying that we come before him with selfish motives and foolishness. I looked up the definiton of purity and one of the defitions is " Freedom from corrupting elements such as said of language and style". I'm not saying that we curse at God...well some of you might...,but we say things with selfish motives and not coming to him in reverance and with a mindset of worship. It says in Galations 5:4 (NIV) "Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or coarse joking which are out of place, but rather with thanksgiving". When we come before him in worship it should be with purity of heart, mind, and soul not bringing anything corrupt out of our mouths. It needs to be with humility, and mind of serving, and a freedom not holding anything back. Opening ourselves up to him so that we might carry HIM out to this corrupt world that needs him.
