Re: Can You "Smell" Like Worship?
Wow, I bet he really believed there was no church as good as his!!
I have to ask, what did he think if a person was allergic to the honeysuckle scent?

Re: Can You "Smell" Like Worship?
I'm am just guessing the preacher meant to say "aura" of worship. Surely not aroma.

I just read the thread before I said this to see if anyone else besides me thought that!

Though I wonder (from my pre-church days)
If that is anything like smelling what the rock is cooking?

The TITLE of the message was "The Aroma of Worship".

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.
