"The essence of worship lies in our mind’s true vision of God and our spirit’s authentic affections for God. This means that whenever we display the worth of God by words or actions that flow from a spirit that treasures him as he really is, we are worshipping in spirit and truth. We may be at work or at home or at church. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that we see the glory of God in Jesus (truth), and we treasure him above all else (spirit), and then we overflow by treating others with self-sacrificing love for their good. Few things display the beauty of God more. For followers of Jesus, therefore, all of life should be this kind of worship."
~ John Piper, in What Jesus Demands of the World
