Re: Can You "Smell" Like Worship?

Probably the gist of the sermon was having an "aura" of worship, though.

Worship is a lifestyle, IMO--everything you do is centered around pleasing God--and that is definitely noticeable to other people.

I can give it "aura", but not "aroma."

I'm sure he meant that other people would notice--not literally "smell" your worship.

I think it's obvious he would not literally mean smell. The question is, does that draw other people to God, scripturally?

BUMP!!!

Too many people are answering the wrong question.

Can the worship of God translate into a soul winning "smell" or draw.

I think that is exactly what was meant. It's easy to slip words in place of other words actually intended.
