Give It Up, Get On With Worship

Jesus said:

“Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.”

Matthew 5:23-24

When we come to worship, God wants our undivided attention. If we are emotionally tied up with personal disagreements, we cannot give God the attention He wants.

Once we apologize to those with whom we have conflicts, even if in our opinion the conflict is not our fault, we are free to stop being angry and start praising God.
